Location and neighbourhood

It is an industrial and residential district, home to the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation estate and a number of textile and chemical units. The area has a workaday character, with wide roads, local markets and a growing number of mid-range hotels. For food lovers, Naroda is a practical base. The neighbourhood has a lively street-food scene in the evenings, and the city's celebrated night markets and restaurant strips are a short ride away. You can explore Ahmedabad's culinary landscape without staying in the crowded centre.

Getting there and around

Fabhotel Soham Palace is around 2 km from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport and around 7.9 km from Kalupur Junction. The easiest way to move around is by auto-rickshaw or app-based cab; both are plentiful in Naroda. AMTS city buses connect to the old city and the riverfront. The nearest metro stop is on the Blue Line, a short auto ride away. From Naroda, you can reach the walled city in about 25–30 minutes by road, depending on traffic. The Sabarmati Riverfront and the main commercial areas are also within a reasonable drive.

Nearby sights and food

The walled city's pols, with their carved wooden havelis and chabutaras, are about 25 minutes from Naroda. The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque's stone jali windows, the Bhadra Fort and the Jama Masjid are all in that area. The Sabarmati Ashram, where Gandhi lived from 1917 to 1930, is a short drive west. The Calico Museum of Textiles requires a pre-booked guided tour. The Sabarmati Riverfront promenades and Atal Bridge are good for an evening stroll.

Evenings in Naroda are best spent exploring the local food stalls that set up near the main crossroads. You can find classic Gujarati snacks: dhokla, khaman, fafda and jalebis, all freshly made. For a fuller meal, the area has small restaurants serving Gujarati thalis. Later, a short ride takes you to the old city's night food market, where the square fills with vendors selling everything from pav bhaji to sweet dishes. Law Garden's evening stalls are another option, with a wide range of snacks and chaat.
