Invoking the hive mind of Ahmedabad again!

This time I'm looking for handmade clay pots for water storage. Most places that I visited in the Bodakdev and Satellite areas have those diecast clay+cement matkas.

I want the real deal original કુંભારે હાથે બનાવેલા માટલા.

Can someone here please point me in the right direction?

Google suggested Dr's pot ensure, but they have stopped doing business.

Is it just me, or has the quality of dining in Ahmedabad plummeted?

I went to Palladium yesterday and tried one of the "classy" spots on the 4th floor.

Long story short: we found a cockroach on our table before the food even arrived. I kept it quiet to avoid a scene, I usually believe in giving people a chance before castigating them.

Sadly the food ended up being a total miss, stale salads and wilted lettuce that looked like it had seen better days.

Paying ₹1k+ per head for "below average" food and poor hygiene is frustrating. I rarely eat out these days, and this experience reminded me why.

Have we as a city become too complacent about these prices and subpar quality?

Edit: Since the sleuths of the group are too keen to know the name, it's Cafe Alloro

Yesterday afternoon at the Amul parlor, while I was waiting to buy my essentials, I saw a Zomato/Swiggy delivery guy rush in buy a packet of buttermilk and gulped the packet standing there.

I found it funny, so asked him what was the hurry?

He said, he's going non-stop for deliveries since morning and didn't get a chance to have lunch, so this was his lunch...

I'm speechless at the troubles these folks are going through to keep us fed, next time you order online food please tip your delivery partners and give them a good rating, their income depends on it.
