Global flavours. One café. Zero reason to stay in your comfort zone.
You know that feeling when you open a menu and suddenly you’re not just hungry, you’re curious? That’s exactly what happens the moment you flip through Vadilal Now Forever’s new menu. And trust us, once you do, there’s no going back to your usual order.
Vadilal has always held a special place in Ahmedabad for desserts. But this launch? It’s a full-on reinvention. The cafe has introduced an all-new menu featuring globally inspired appetisers, quiches, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, meal bowls, desserts, shakes, coffees, and signature dessert creations, and the story behind it is just as delicious as the food itself.
The Chef’s Scrapbook: Where the Journey Begins
Every great menu has a story. This one has a scrapbook.
The inspiration behind NFE’s new menu comes from their chef’s personal collection of flavour discoveries, food memories and culinary inspirations gathered across continents, one journey at a time. Think dog-eared pages filled with sketches of dishes tasted in Mediterranean alleys, flavour notes from Asian street markets, and bold ideas born somewhere between a Korean food stall and an Italian trattoria.
“Every page of the menu reflects a different chapter of that journey, bringing together diverse tastes and experiences in one place,” says the brand, and you feel it the moment you start reading.
The result is a menu designed not just to feed you but to take you somewhere.
A World Tour on One Menu
Let’s talk about what’s actually on the table because the line-up is genuinely exciting.
The appetisers draw from global street food culture, offering those bold, snackable flavours that make you want to try one of everything. Then comes the Quiche Collection: delicate, European, and exactly the kind of thing you’d find at a tucked-away cafe in Paris. Straight from the cafes of Europe to your table, as NFE puts it, and they mean every word.
The sandwiches are where things get really interesting. Flavour combinations like Korean Street and Lebanese Delight bring international inspiration to every bite. These aren’t your average cafe sandwiches, and that’s entirely the point.
Italian fans, don’t worry, the pizzas and pastas are crafted for sharing and slow, indulgent enjoyment. And the meal bowls might just be the menu’s most well-travelled section, with inspirations spanning India, Asia, the Mediterranean and beyond. Pick a bowl, pick a destination.
The Desserts That Deserve Their Own Passport
Here’s where Vadilal Now Forever truly comes into its own. Because when a brand with decades of dessert expertise opens a cafe menu, the dessert section is going to be something else.
The signature creations include the Churro Swirl, the Biscoff French Toast, and the showstopper, the Royal Ghewar Affair, a celebration of Indian festive flavour reimagined in the most elegant way. Each dessert feels like its own little journey.
Then there are the customisable ice cream sundae creations and the signature hot-cold dessert experiences that only NFE can pull off. Vadilal’s ice cream expertise meets cafe-style indulgence, and the result is exactly as good as it sounds.
Why This Menu Is More Than Just a Launch
“Just when I thought Vadilal Now Forever was all about ice cream, they launched an entirely new menu inspired by flavours from around the world. Every page feels like a stop on a different culinary journey.”
That quote captures it perfectly. This isn’t just a new menu. It’s an invitation to explore. To be curious. To try the Korean Street sandwich before the Lebanese Delight, order the Churro Swirl after a Mediterranean meal bowl, and discover that one cafe in your city can genuinely take you places.
The world is wide. The menu is wider. Go explore it.
