Bengali food in Ahmedabad

Finding non-veg joints in the largely vegetarian Ahmedabad can be difficult, but is extremely rewarding. Due to low consumption of poultry, meats and fish, restaurants serve only the very best to their clients. On my recent trip there for Durga Puja (pandals at Vastrapur, Gandhinagar and Shola Road), I discovered a few restaurants and caterers for Bengali food.
