The residents of Ahmedabad have a reason to cheer with the opening of the first café by Vadilal Enterprises Ltd.

Along with Vadilal’s popular ice creams, the dessert cafe also offers a new menu of trendy and Instagram-worthy desserts and fusion food dishes. The initiative is in line with the company’s commitment to providing relishing and unforgettable experiences to the customers.
“This concept came about from the simplicity that Vadilal Ice Creams embody. Having a Vadilal ice cream gives a joy of being lost in the moment and wishing that moment to linger on. This is how we conceptualised Vadilal Now For Ever. We have over 150 flavours available in more than 300 formats! We wanted to use the same products that you get at any Vadilal store but with a never-before-seen twist to give you an unforgettable experience!” said Aakanksha Gandhi, Brand Director, Vadilal Enterprises Ltd.
