Sakhdi

I know most of you must be wondering what this word means. Well,it is the name of a Gujarati dish which is popular in Nathdwara, Rajasthan. Nathdwara is also known as Shrinathji which means land of Shrinath or Govardhan nath. Sakhdi is a prashad which is served to God and then given to devotees. It is a mixture of veggies,lentils and rice.

Its not the dish I am going to talk about but its a restaurant where I had all my meals(literally) at this place. Usually,I do not write about the places I eat at but this one truly deserved it because for me and my family it is truly a blessing.

More details….

To most of you who haven’t travelled to Nathdwara yet I have a little story,in this city it is really difficult to find tasty as well as hygiene food. There was always a problem,either food tasted weird or it was unhygienic. Moreover,it is located in a mountainous region which has hard water due to which we got sick and since then we never drink regular water,only mineral water.

The aesthetic is on point!

So, coming across this dine in called Sakhdi was truly a gift from heaven because not only it fulfilled the basic necessities of a meal but also offered amazing ambience which is commendable at a place like this where people dont look for leisure but just come to pray to the deity. Most of the time when we were hungry we used to fill our bellies with fixed Gujarati thali(platter) which got boring on third day. This place offers such a wide variety of cuisines.

The restaurant is spacious and beautiful in every manner. Shlokas from scriptures are put on its walls which totally does justice to the holy vibe of the city. The prices are also affordable and the food is served promptly. The waiters and staff are friendly and welcoming. In short, this is a very nice restaurant to visit and enjoy meals with your loved ones.

  3. Nice that you found a clean and healthy place to eat within a suitable environment.

    As you mentioned lentils, vegetables, and rice- that is something I myself love and eat frequently. Not the particular dish you may have been talking about but my own recipe of preparation.
