“Atithi Gokul”, a traditionally designed restaurant, came into being on 22^nd February, 1998. The Owner, Mr. Bhavanbhai Bharwad, discovered the name ‘Atithi Gokul’ Atithi means Guest and Gokul means the place of Lord Krishna . The Idea of designing Traditional Hotel came in to the mind of Bhavanbhai Bharwad was when he was in Singapore in 1997. He saw a Taditional Restaurant made with MONWORK (Paper Art). Then he used the same Idea at Ahmedabad. The name caught the sensitive eyes of Mr. Bharwad as it related to his vision of the restaurant, a place for homely, staple food in a relaxed atmosphere and with a free mind  noise and air pollution.

                   Atithi Gokul’s portrayal as a typical Indian village can be traced back to the childhood memories of the designer. In the city, he could never find the same free, relaxed, natural living that he had experienced during the school vacations he spent in the village. As a Businessman, he always thought about ways to bring the urban milieu closer to nature and sharing with them the blessed experience of feeling free. He actualized his ideas through the Atithi Gokul’s  campus and in its decorum, which now makes us all proud of its rich culture.

                     Atithi Gokul, true to its literal sense, impresses with its vast, open spaces that free the mind. There are no physical obstructions, even in the form of doors or walls. The natural connect with the plants and the muddy lanes itself delivers the mind from all day-to-day concerns. The pronounced village-like environment is experienced in every nook and corner of Atithi Gokul. There are low lights  to light up the place, the entire area is mud-plastered, and even the entertainment section uses no modern sound systems. The effect is further enhanced with the staff dressed in a traditional, Indian style. What’s more, it is not merely the village-style apparel donned by the staff; they also exhibit a heart-felt hospitality typical of village folks!
