Surat, an acclaimed textile center and a solitaire market, is well renowned for its traditional Gujarati cuisine and a heritage of local food stalls found in every nook and corner. Whether you’re enjoying a fine dining experience or indulging on steaming samosas for brunch, Surat caters for all palates. Here’s our take on the best places you can dine at in Surat.

Ziba

The Grand Bhagwati hotel welcomes hungry travelers from around the world to a unique dining experience at Ziba. The restaurant stands out because of its modern décor, its tandoori delights and rich curries. Ziba is one of the few restaurants in Surat that serves both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, offering separate menus. Though the restaurant is a multi-cuisine spot, you can grab a bite of their North Indian nosh, the Achaari Fish Tikka Masala is a great option. For vegan lovers we recommend a local dish like ‘Rajma Chawal’, a wholesome meal made with an assortment of spicy herbs.
Address and telephone number: The Grand Bhagwati Hotel, Magdalla Circle, Surat-Dumas Road, Magdalla, Surat, Gujarat, India, +91-261-398011
