If you have ever found yourself browsing through a European delicatessen, gawking at a French cheese counter, or dreaming of having Ahmedabad be home to such a place as a passport mark to satisfy your palate. The wait is finally over. Food Square, the gourmet food haven of India, is opening up a restaurant in Ahmedabad, and there are enough reasons for the food lovers of the city to be excited.

A Story That Begins in the Soil, Not the Shelf

Long before “Food Square” entered the gossip of the hardcore foodies of Mumbai, the company founders, Lalit and Mayank, had been farmers-entrepreneurs rather than retailers. For the past five years, they have been creating sustainable aquaponics and soil farms in places like Kolhapur, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, and Belgaum, learning how to create vegetables that are pure and authentic and taste great. With their love for perfection, Trueganic has been set up in order to provide fresh produce to more than 200 super stores and gourmet shops in West and South India.

It was inevitable that Food Square would come into existence as the next logical move. Forward integration allows the entrepreneurs to bring their philosophy of ‘farm to shelf’ to life in the form of a retail experience. Having already revolutionised gourmet retail at the renowned Linking Road in Mumbai with their massive 25,000-sq-ft store, it is time that Food Square carves out its destiny in Ahmedabad.

Why Ahmedabad Was the Obvious Next Stop

Ask anyone looking for the top gourmet store in Ahmedabad or Googling “International Food Store Near Me in Ahmedabad”, and it becomes clear that there is a need in the market that One Food Square can exploit. The food scene in Ahmedabad has changed tremendously over the past decade. Amateur cooks are trying out different cuisines, chefs require specialised ingredients, and the new generation of consumers is not satisfied with just buying imported products anymore.

And this is the kind of space Food Square fills. It’s not simply a typical supermarket aisle marked as “international foods”, but rather an entire curated universe of carefully selected cheese, pasta, cold-pressed oils, unique spices, and exquisite chocolate from around the world. Plus the same line of farm-fresh produce that made Trueganic famous.

More Than a Store: An Experience

What really makes Food Square stand out among other gourmet food stores in Ahmedabad is the fact that premium does not have to be intimidating at all. As soon as you step in, you don’t only come to shop but also to explore. The testing corners offer you a chance to taste anything from handmade pastas to exotic spices before making your purchase. The in-house cafe offers deliciously crafted dishes that help transform a quick shopping trip into a discovery experience.

This ideology reflects on something that co-founder & CEO Lalit Jhawar speaks about a lot. It is the commitment to enhancing the dining experience through great food by combining the love for farming with a passion for cooking.
