Aamras is deeply rooted in Gujarati and Maharashtrian cuisine. If you haven't tried the heavenly combination of Aamras Puri then I would suggest you to start your aamras journey by visiting Aaswad Upahar & Mithai Gruh, Soam or Gypsy Corner for sumptuous thalis, or Pancham Puriwala for pocket friendly option. Each of these places offer a unique and delightful Aamras Puri experience to treat your taste buds to a burst of flavors.
