મંડપ
A long-established thali restaurant inside the Express Towers hotel in Alkapuri, serving Gujarati vegetarian thalis with unlimited refills.
Located in the Express Towers hotel on R.C. Dutt Road in Alkapuri, it opened in 1974 and is known for authentic home-style Gujarati food. It is pure vegetarian, with no onion or garlic. A thali includes more than twenty dishes, with unlimited refills. Common items include dhokla, undhiyu, bajra rotla, khichdi, mango pulp and coconut barfi. At peak meal times it is often full and you may need to wait. A 2025 review put the cost at about ₹550–650 per thali. It is about a 10-minute drive from the railway station.
