Agashiye
in Gujarati means on the terrace. This beautiful
restaurant is spread over 8,000 square feet.
Two huge terraces are inter-connected by a
smaller one that houses a wooden bungli, or
a cottage, that was earlier used to store
mattresses (the occupants slept out in the
summer). It is now the air-conditioned part
of the restaurant. At Agashiye, the food is
freshly prepared, a lot of it in the terrace
kitchen where you can see it. Our attempt
is to retain the distinct flavours of the
ingredients and we use both spices and oil
sparingly. The menu at Agashiye changes daily
and varies seasonally too, so an item that
you particularly liked during a previous visit
may not be there on the menu. But chances
are that you will find another favourite!
The staff at Agashiye comprises mostly of
men from neighboring villages. During dinner,
they will guide you to the waiting area where
you will be served juice and starters. You
will be informed when your table is ready.
During lunch, you are seated at your table
right away.
The food is served in a kansa thali
immediately on being seated at the table.
The meal starts with a choice of Indian breads
and ends with rice. Servings are unlimited.
The staff has been instructed not to constantly
hover around you and yet be attentive. In
case you have a specific requirement, a supervisor
will be there to assist you.
The cost of lunch is Rs.245/- for Regular
and Rs. 345/- for Deluxe. Dinner is Rs. 345/-
for Regular and Rs. 445/- for Deluxe. Agashiye
can also be booked for wedding dinners/lunches
as it can accommodate up to 300 people. The
restaurant timings are 12 Noon to
3:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 11:00
PM.
Please don't be surprised if you are served
a non-Gujarati dish or hear non-Indian music
at Agashiye. It is neither an ethnic nor a
theme restaurant. It is meant to be a dining
experience in a contemporary Gujarati home. |
