Global Platter

- By Devika Chaturvedi

Softly lit interiors with groovy jazz playing in the background set the mood at this latest entrant to the café scene in Ahmedabad, Turquoise Villa. This café opened in May and since then has been slowly yet surely becoming a favourite evening haunt for many Amdavadis. The café is designed to please with its turquoise blue and pearl white theme that might remind you of a villa you saw on a Greek isle. The seating space here is tastefully done with a mix of king size sofas and low rise chairs. The outdoor seating area is highly recommende­d on a pleasant day and is sure to set the scene for many lovely dinner dates.

Their menu, despite being vegetarian, is a mishmash of global influences fusing many diverse tastes into one. Here you’ll find street food ranging from Delhi’s Chandni Chowk chaat specialiti­es to New York style pizzas, from Latin American street food delights such as empanadas and tacos to Indonesian nasi goreng, or from a French crème brule to our very own Mumbaiya gola. A perfect example of fusion food can also be seen in the pav- bhaji fondue which is a hot seller here. Have the local Manek Chowk chilla chaat or perfectly done mezze and egg crepes. The jasmine iced tea is a great thirst quencher that goes well with any of their dishes. Average meal for two Rs 300 to Rs 500 Where Center Point, Panchvati, Ahmedabad Tel 079 40373000
