What’s in a name?
A great place to try a popular Gujarati dish Khaman, steamed, light ground chickpea cakes mixed with yogurt. In 1922, food enthusiast, Pitambardas Kanjibhai Thakkar, after working at a Khaman shop in another city, came to Ahmedabad to establish his own business. He rented a small space and the rest is history. Pitambardas was lovingly referred to as ‘Das’ and hence the shop got its name.
