Arogya Café
at Arogya Van
An open-air Gujarati Thali served inside the herbal garden setting of Arogya Van, near Ekta Mall — simple, wholesome food, three midday seatings only.
Lunch Inside a Herbal Garden
Arogya Café sits inside Arogya Van, a herbal and medicinal garden near Ekta Mall in the Statue of Unity complex. The café follows the same theme as the garden it sits in, making it a fitting lunch stop if you're already walking Arogya Van's paths, or a quiet break from the busier attractions nearby.
- Open-air seating among the plantings, not an enclosed hall
- Herbal teas and Ayurveda drinks alongside the food
- Simple, home-style Gujarati cooking rather than anything elaborate
- Bamboo seating and grass-thatched umbrellas set the garden-café look
- The thali is fully vegetarian — no meat, fish or egg on the menu
Closed Mondays, in step with the rest of the complex.
Only three seatings a day — 1:45 PM is the last one.
One Honest Gujarati Thali
There's a single fixed thali here, done well rather than a long menu done thin — plus herbal teas and fresh juices if you'd like something to sip on while you sit among the garden's plantings.
Gujarati Thali
A simple, home-style plate — the kind of thali that doesn't need to be fancy to be good.
- Chapati (4)
- Dal, with choice of rice or khichdi-kadhi
- A vegetable / pulse curry
- Papad, buttermilk, pickle
- Shira dessert
There is no separate child pricing — the ₹200 thali applies to every diner. Herbal teas, Ayurveda drinks and fresh juices are available on the side and priced separately.
Booking Notes Worth Knowing
A few practical rules keep the kitchen running smoothly across only three seatings a day — worth reading before you plan your visit around this café.
Book Before 10 AM, Same Day
Seatings must be reserved on WhatsApp before 10 AM on the day you intend to eat. The kitchen prepares quantities against confirmed headcounts, so requests after that cut-off can't always be fit in.
No Same-Day Cancellation
Once a seating is confirmed for the day, it can't be cancelled same-day. Double-check your headcount and timing before you send the booking through.
No Outside Food
Outside food isn't permitted inside the café — order what you plan to eat from the thali and the drinks menu.
Drinks Are Extra
Herbal teas, Ayurveda drinks and fresh juices are available but priced separately from the ₹200 thali — mention if you'd like any when you book.

Message us on WhatsApp with your preferred date, seating time and headcount. Bookings need to be confirmed before 10 AM on the same day you plan to eat, since the kitchen prepares against confirmed numbers.
Outside food isn't permitted inside the café. Same-day cancellation also isn't possible once a seating is confirmed, so it's worth being sure of your plans and headcount before you book.
