Brief History

The veg heavy vibe of the cuisine in Ahmedabad can get tiresome for hardcore non-vegetarians. This is when a late evening trip to Bhatiyar Gali will seem valid; prawns, mutton, fish and chicken are sold raw and cooked. The food street lies near Teen Darwaza in the old city of Ahmedabad. The highlight of the street is the fact that it is a hotspot for traditionally made Mughlai cuisine. Many of the shop owners here are 4th or 5th generation. One such example is the 125 year old establishment, Madina Bhathiyarkhana that cooks food in baara handi or 12 vessels. Try the paya (mutton trotters) and nalli (bone marrow) here.

It is said that Bhatiyar Gali is almost 600 years old, still tied to the heritage cuisine that thrived during the Muzaffarid dynasty when Ahmed Shah took over the reins of the Gujarat Sultanate. The word Bhatiyar refers to a person who cooks and sells food.
