Meet verified people in Piplod, Surat

Piplod is a well-established residential neighbourhood in south-west Surat, close to Vesu, Athwa and the SVNIT campus. It is known for its cafés, restaurants, gardens and a calm, organised feel compared to the busier old city. Many families and young professionals live here, and the presence of colleges nearby brings a youthful energy to its cafés and food stalls. For Myra members, Piplod offers comfortable, relaxed first dates, often over coffee or a light meal followed by a walk. Introductions here often include people from Vesu, Athwa Lines, Ghod Dod Road, Umra and Magdalla. The neighbourhood’s gardens are busy in the evening with walkers and families, which makes them a pleasant and safe place for a stroll. Piplod is also a short drive from Dumas Road, so a second date at the beach is easy to plan once you know each other. For a first meeting, a café on the main road keeps things simple and public. Weekend mornings are calm and ideal for a relaxed breakfast. The neighbourhood is named after a village that stood here before the city expanded southwards. It sits close to the Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, founded in 1961, whose campus has some of the oldest trees in this part of Surat. The Iscon mall and the nearby Sargam shopping centre at Parle Point were among the first places in Surat where young people gathered to shop and eat, and they remain favourite landmarks for meeting friends. In winter, roadside stalls on Dumas Road sell ponk and ponk vada, made from tender green sorghum, a seasonal Surti speciality worth sharing.
