leido en la web:
I had read about Vishala in one of the dailies so during my trip to Ahmedabad I went to this fascinating place with a group of friends. The minute you enter the place you are transported to an old-world charm of Gujarati lifestyle, right into the heart of a Gujarati village.

You are greeted by men in turbans and dhotis with flowers, and the restaurant is a mud hut decorated with typical Gujarati motifs. You’ll be surprised to note that there the restaurant has minimal use of electricity, only for table fans in the peak of summer. There are no tube lights or bulbs and at sunset, lanterns and lamps are lit in every nook and corner. The air smells of smoked charcoal and the atmosphere is charged with the eclectic performances of folk musicians and dancers, magic shows and puppet shows.

You have food sitting on ‘patlas’ with a low table which was very comfortable. The food is served on biodegradable leaf plates and you are given a spoon only on demand as you are required to eat with your fingers in true Gujarati tradition. They serve a whole lot of starters with a number of pickles, handvo, dhokla, sprouts, farsan, and buttermilk (in earthen pots). The main course had vegetables, dal & curry, theplas, makai ka rotla, Bhakri, Bajre ki Roti with White butter & Khichdi. Jalebis were piping hot and crispy and malpua was yummy!! After the meal they also serve an ice cream of your choice outside the dining area.

There is a museum of utensils which has a nice collection of antique vessels of Gujarati households and a shop for Gujarati handicrafts. Everything was simply out of the world. Those people who come to serve the food will make sure that you eat much more than you are capable of by doing the traditional ‘Kathiavadi taan’ . After a meal you can simply relax on the traditional cots or on the swings.
The ambience is excellent and the service out of the world. You get a good taste of the much famed Gujarati hospitality. Definitely a must visit if you are in Ahmedabad.

Tortilla ganadora 2010

'me encanta, uno de mis favoritos'

Para la receta ganadora emplea unos 500 gramos de patata monalisa, 5 huevos y una cebolla hermosa. La primera particularidad es que la cebolla, cortada en juliana, se pocha aparte, el tiempo necesario para que se caramelice ligeramente, reduciendo su peso hasta que quede, aproximadamente, en unos 50 gramos. La segunda es que las patatas, cortadas muy finamente, antes de terminar de dorarse en la sartén al fuego, se sazonan y se meten al horno, con un poco de aceite, durante una hora; en este tiempo, se irán removiendo cada veinte minutos. Una vez terminadas de hacer las patatas y la cebolla, se escurren bien y se echan a un bol en el que están los huevos, a temperatura ambiente, muy poco batidos; se mezcla todo muy bien, se echa a la sartén, se cuaja ligeramente durante poco más de un minuto por cada lado, vuelta y vuelta y se saca. Nos encontramos ante una tortilla dulce, cremosa y gustosa, muy gustosa.

Bringing together wit, wisdom and enough food and drink to see you through from early breakfast to a nightcap at last orders at the bar, The Book Club offers a cultural revolution to the East End’s social scene.

The Book Club fuses lively, creative events and late night drinking seven days a week with an alternative menu of brain-teasing and mind-expanding thought for food in the form of workshops, talks, cultural showcases, parties, ping pong, pool and the best in new music. The Book Club is the younger, slightly smarter sibling of the Queen of Hoxton, and has turned the conventional arts institution on its head, fusing boozing with brain power.


Two spacious floors of a former Victorian warehouse on Leonard Street have been kitted out for eating, drinking, thinking, meeting and dancing. The Book Club has a familiar, eclectic feel as varied as the clientele and the entertainment on offer. The interior blends the raw, pared-down character of the building with layers of mix and match vintage soft furnishings, naïve mosaics and graphic lighting features, as well as the constantly evolving permanent exhibitions that adorn the walls.

The Book Club presents an eclectic ongoing programme of events and social activities in art, music, film, fashion, philosophy, design, science, and the odd spot of craft. The line-up includes special screenings and cross platform club nights showcasing new creative talent through to informal evening classes and talks by a host of eclectic and interesting thinkers.

‘…one of Shoreditch’s best and quirkiest venues’ (Time Out, January 2011)

‘The Book Club can bring you from an early breakfast to a nightcap, from a cultural showcase to a spot of dancing and with its unforgettable charm and ability to satisfy nearly all urban needs. I think it’s safe to say that one visit won’t nearly be enough.’ (Weekend Notes, April 2011)

‘The Book Club, Shoreditch is a gem of a find.’ (Tuppence magazine, September 2011)

‘Food/Drink: 5/5.’ (London Larder)
