If one wants to witness the age-old street food culture of Ahmedabad (or I should say, India), then Manek Chowk is a must visit place. Located in the centre of the old city, Manek Chowk is one of the oldest markets. Mostly occupied by goldsmiths and silversmiths during the working day hours. But it’s a completely different picture at night after the shops close down. The market suddenly transforms into a complete food bazaar with street food vendors occupying the space out side the closed shops with their lorries. It is fascinating to see how the quality of space transforms within an hour or two. It looks more like a food festival with tables and chairs arranged along the road and the variety of food available. Amazingly the small lorries are well equipped with everything that might be needed by them or the costumers.
People from all over the city come to this place to enjoy the culture and the atmosphere together with the delicious food.
