Mandap The Authentic Gujarati Thali Restaurant

Having enjoyed the Gujarati thaali at the Mandap several times before, I visited recently with my wife - to share the experience and joy with her.

Everything was as good as I had known / remembered. Excellent food, good service, good ambience.

The surprise was that the three sweets offered with the thaali were all unlimited - not that we needed it.

The choice of ‘curries’ / vegetables was nice. The items were simple but tasty. It was a very satisfying and enjoyable meal. It cost us Rs499 per person, which is good value for money.

Easily one of the best restaurants in Vadodara. I loved Gujarati kadhi there.

Delicious and quality Gujarati Thali with good variety of food items

As the name suggests, interiors are just like a mandap. Well decorated and nice interiors
The food is great
The varieties are good ,
And you will have a good thali experience

The thali is an excellent way to experience the local cuisine. The restaurant was clean, well staffed and service was excellent. If you want to experience the local cuisine I would recommend the restaurant. The ambience was unique and cosy.

By far the best place for authentic Gujarati thali.. perfect blend and balance of spice and sweet.. no overdose of anything, yet everything will taste awesome… if you don’t belong to Gujarat or even India and want to taste Gujarati food then this should be your go to place.. you won’t be disappointed for sure… very polite, calm, and kind staff as well..

A tasty, authentic thali, at a reasonable price considering they kept adding to your plate until you could eat no more!

The restaurant has very nice decor and the staff were very polite.

Been going this this restaurant for years and the food quality had deteriorated a few years back but now it is back to its original taste and quality or even better. The only thing I did not like was the loud dance music almost giving it a feel of being in a bar. They used to play soft Indian classical back in the day giving it a sophisticated touch. But other than that excellent service and food quality. Highly recommend to those who enjoy Gujarati vegetarian Thali that is not too sweet nor too spicy. Very Balanced.

We loved this place. The food quality and taste was very nice. We had their thali which was filled with authentic Gujarati delicacies. The sweets were just awesome. The service was also really good.
Overall a lovely experience. Would love to visit again.

Best place to experience authentic Gujarati thaali. Ambience is really nice. Staffs are attentive and friendly.
Food tastes really great. It’s safe to eat here as they maintain quality. Vegetarians must visit here.
They serve 3 sweets which is really great and they also provide options with Punjabi or Gujarati Dal/Kadhi. The price is worth it.

Friendly staff and always serve with a smile.

Mandap restaurant is in The Express Hotel and their Gujarati thali is the best. They only serve Gujarati thali in lunch and dinner. Each day is a new menu.

And it's unlimited for the vegetables, daal roti, rice and limited on sweet dishes but they serve 2 to 3 different ones.

Absolutely love their food to the core and highly recommend them.

Superb Gujarati thali , all vegetarian only. Has Jain options too. Desserts & Farsan are amazing. Superb food. Whenever I'm Baroda, never miss having a meal here.

Excellent authentic Gujarati Thali. Loved the food. Loved the service. Loved the ambience. Loved the cutlery so much 🙂🙂🙂.

The Gujarati style Dal Kadhi was so yum. If you've a sweet tooth, you'll fall in love with this Dal Kadhi. They do give option of choosing between Gujarati style Dal Kadhi & Rajasthani style one.

And the desserts served were too good too. Rasagulla, kheer, fruit custard were so damn good. And the Farshan (Gujarati namkeens) served were awesome as well. I especially loved the mini Samosas they served.

Overall amazing experience of having authentic Gujarati thali. If you're a vegetarian, you'll obviously love this Cuisine. If you're a non vegetarian, once you try this, you might even decide to become a pure vegetarian due to the lovely dishes and the many varieties of Gujarati Thali.

Delicious food & courteous staff. Loved the Gujarati thaali and the sweets served. Nice ambience and a good restaurant to dine in with family.

They serve Gujrati/ Punjabi daal & kadhi. Gujrati variety is a little sweet & Punjabi isn't. So you can try accordingly.

Delicious food & courteous staff. Loved the Gujarati thaali and the sweets served. Nice ambience and a good restaurant to dine in with family.

We had a great experience here. The gujarati thali complying the word authentic.

This is a most visit place for those who want to enjoy authentic gujarati cuisine.

The ambience is too good and staff's nature was decent although food quality was great.

Cleanness: 5/5
Interior:5/5
Food: 4/5

Great place.... Can spend good time with friends and family.
Gujarati thali is good and loved the service.. Unlike other places where they throw food with fast possible way!!
Good experience.

Great place for an authentic Gujrati thali. Have a variety of vegetables along with rotli, thepla and a selection of Daal, Kadhi and desserts. Service is good and attentive and food was tasty. Highly recommend if you want to sample a wide variety of Gujarati food.

Best Thali I ever had in my life. Food is full of flavours and every dish served tasted awesome. The servers were extremely welcoming and serving with a smile. Visited at around 12:45 on a Sunday afternoon and it was fully packed. Really amazing food one must have while in Vadodara.

Loved the Food and the experience at the restaurant.
It's a must visit if you get into the town. Really has multiple options and they serve the local Gujarati food so beautifully.
A 5 Star place for me😍😍
