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.
