Restaurant Review - Vandanam (South Bopal, Ahmedabad)


It was in my last kitty when I had a chance to visit this newly opened eating joint. The last-minute change of venue took our kitty group in front of this newly opened restaurant. In the last few years, South Bopal has seen many outlets serving South Indian cuisines. Vandanam is the latest addition to this ever-increasing eateries.

My first impression was a feeling of positivity.  Seating was okay, not crumpled. The decor is simplistic and minimalistic. It is a buffet restaurant with 20+ dishes on the offering. You will find popular dishes like dosa, idli, vada, sambhar, and rasam along with Malabar paranthas and accompaniments like coconut chutney etc. The welcome drink was refreshing. The dessert is Kesari, a permanent fixture in all South Indian cuisine restaurants. And all this for a price of 299 per head. Isn't it worth trying? 

As the number of dishes is small, I could taste almost all. And I loved this approach of fewer dishes and less confusion. This resulted in effortless eating. You have to get up once to fill your plate, after that, everything is served on the table if you do not want to get up. I recommend getting up and filling your plate to make more space in the stomach. Just joking :P

I forgot to click food pics as we, the kitty members were too busy with conversations and food. Food was sumptuous and service was excellent. After eating and playing games, we had good filter coffee, which is mandatory for me whenever I go to any South Indian cuisine restaurant. 

The price tag is attractive and I am sure, many kitty groups around this area can choose this place at least once a year. ( Because we like to explore a new place every month)

My rating -

Food - 4/5

Ambience - 3.5/5

Service - 5/5

Price - Rs. 299 -Value for money.

Parking is available and it is free! 

They have a separate adjoining place for a party of 30-40 people.

This is not a paid review. 

It's an unpaid-honest review.
