Top 13 "NOT TO MISS" in Rajkot

We’ve been in Rajkot since the past two years. There are a few favorite places, few favorite eat outs, shopping stuff,etc. I’ve listed a few. Visit these places if you’ve not, they are pretty good. You can add  your choices in the comments, we’d go check them. 

• Netri  pani puri :

Location: 150 feet ring road. Near Eagle travels.

They have 6 different flavored pani puris namely imli(tamarind), adrak(ginger), pudina (mint), khajur(date), lasun (garlic), khajur imli. 

• Santushti shakes:

Location: Yagnik road

The shakes are really really yummy. We like Chocolate Dark Knight  the most. 

• Fafdas! : )

If you’ve ever visited Rajkot and not had Fafdas, it’s almost a sin! : D It is a joke amongt  Rajkot YES!+ team that everybody has Fafdas after Sunday follow up. Ha ha.  I never liked Fafdas till I started staying here. They are best had with fried green chillies and papaya sambharo. I liked the ones sold at Swaminarayan chowk. 

• Masala cone

Location : Opposite Virani school, they are sold on hand carts. The one in front of the fruit and garment store, I forgot its name, is the best.

A few volunteers took me there. I particularly like the crispiness of the cone and the cheesy tanginess of the masala. Cheese masala variety is my favorite. 

• Khirsara Palace

Location : 10 kms away from the main city, on Kalawad Road.

It is a palace  which has been turned into a hotel and restaurant. Visit it in the evening after the sun goes down. The place is breathtakingly  beautiful and the food is also yummy. Even Ahmedabad does not have a place that would equal  Khirsara. 

• Madhuprash

This is a red coloured drink people consume to beat the heat. Its sweet. Plus its natural.

• Gordhan chips and chutney

The potato chips with the chutney taste best. Chutney is pretty spicy. People also use it as a salad dressing or with meals. My mother says its not very healthy so don’t eat it in excess.

• Khajli

This is a snack basically from Kutch and available in different flavors.

• Penda from Jai Siyaram:

Their pendas or pedas(sweet) gets exported. Numerous varities.

• Lords restaurant :

Frankly, I found the food here just OK but many Rajkotians go ga ga  when they talk of the food at Lords. Who knows you may like it.

• Jetpur dresses and sarees :

Cotton dresses and sarees printed in Jetpur are available in Rajkot. The Batik print sarees and dress material is really good and comfy. 

• Doll Museum :

Everybody is all praises for this place but I’m yet to visit it. 

• My house :

All those who visit my home,  find it difficult to leave because its so serene and spacious. The place has acquired a charm of its own  owing to regular Long Sudarshan kriya follow ups, chanting, Mrutunjay havan and satsangs happening here. It is full of YES!+ graduates most of the times. Most importantly, to visit this place you need prior permission from one of us. : P
