Date Night Ideas & Events in Ahmedabad

A good date night in Ahmedabad starts with a shared experience and ends with food, and the events below are chosen with that in mind. Gujarat is a dry state, so the bar-and-cocktail formula does not apply here; the city has replaced it with long dinners, coffee and dessert on Sindhu Bhavan Road, and shows. For an early evening, walk the Sabarmati Riverfront and cross the Atal Bridge as its lights come on, or join the municipal night heritage walk, which starts at the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque at about 8.30 pm. For a show, look for a play at Thakorbhai Desai Hall or Scrapyard, stand-up at the Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Auditorium, or dance and music under the sky at Natarani on the river. Hands-on dates such as pottery, painting and baking workshops run most weekends. Dinner can be a Gujarati thali on a rooftop in the old city, a village-style meal at Vishalla near Sarkhej, or pav bhaji and kulfi at Manek Chowk after 9 pm. The drive-in cinema on Drive-In Road is a long-standing favourite. This page lists date-worthy events across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, updated daily.
