Where to Eat in Sasan Gir

Eating out in Sasan Gir works differently from a city. The village is small, many visitors eat most meals where they stay, and the day is shaped by safari times, with an early start, a late breakfast and a long, hot afternoon break.

For local food, look for places serving a Kathiawadi thali with bajra rotla, sev tameta and chaas. Pure vegetarian kitchens are the norm here, so vegetarians will find plenty to eat.

Not sure what to order? The Sasan Gir food guide starts from the dishes — what each one is, when to eat it, and which of these kitchens is known for it.
