Where to Eat in Bhuj
Eating out in Bhuj is simple and good value. Most restaurants are pure vegetarian, and the food splits into two kinds of places: restaurants and dining halls serving Kutchi and Gujarati thalis, and small stalls and farsan shops selling dabeli, gathiya and dhokla.
For a full meal, look along Station Road and around the town centre, where thali restaurants are easy to find. For snacks, head into the old town near the palaces, which is the best area for dabeli.
