Graveyard Restaurant: New Lucky Restaurant
This cafe in Ahmedabad is one that might just give you the creeps. The New Lucky Restaurant, also popularly known as the Grave Yard Restaurant, is built at an old cemetery where the coffins are sealed off by iron grills but are inside the restaurant. The graves are said to have belonged to the followers of some Sufi saint from the 16th century. It’s like the living dining with the dead. The graves are unusually painted bright green and every morning a rose is placed on these graves by the attendants of the restaurant. More than the food, it’s this ambience and the curiosity that drives people to this restaurant. The late artist, M F Hussain, was said to be a regular here and has even gifted a painting which is proudly placed on the wall of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant Krishnan Kutti says the graves have been lucky for him and draws a lot of customers.

This one is not difficult to guess, as the name suggests, this restaurant is based on the Jungle Book theme. Certain areas of the restaurant are also darkly lit to give it the feel of a jungle, what’s more, the waiters are also dressed as forest officers and the menu card is based on the characters from the book. If Jungle Book has been one of your favourites, this is the place to go to.

Situated in a narrow lane, of the Kalupur Tower road, it’s a better idea to leave your cars behind as parking here is a problem because of the narrow lanes. It’s a must visit for anyone who loves non-vegetarian food. The chef doles out some scrumptious foods in a jiffy and it’s one of the best street foods so far. They specialise in Middle Eastern food and when you do plan to go here to eat, make sure you go on an empty stomach!
