Top Ahmedabad Restaurants For Fafda-Jalebi

By Nikita Toppo

Gujarat is a land of rich and vibrant culture, and its cuisine offers a wide range of colourful and delectable dishes. The state has gifted us with some flavourful vegetarian treasures that have become top choices for breakfast all over the country, such as dhokla, thepla, khandvi, and the iconic duo fafda-jalebi. 

Fafda and jalebi are truly a match made in heaven. This combo is not just a regular breakfast; it is an emotion for Gujaratis. For many families, enjoying fafda-jalebi is a must on Sunday mornings. Talking about both dishes, fafda is a crispy and savoury snack that is made from chickpea flour along with a hint of spices, while jalebi is a sweet and syrupy pretzel made from wheat flour and sugar syrup. This contrast combination creates an explosion of flavours with every bite.
