Meet verified people around Ring Road, Surat

Surat’s Ring Road circles the old city, passing the huge textile markets, the business district and neighbourhoods such as Salabatpura, Begampura and Chowk Bazaar. This is the commercial heart of Surat, where much of the city’s textile trade happens and where many families have run businesses for generations. For Myra members, the Ring Road area offers a characterful, busy setting for a first or second date, especially for people who live or work in the old city. Introductions here often include people from Chowk Bazaar, Nanpura, Sagrampura, Majura Gate and Udhna, depending on your distance limit. The old city is famous for its food, with shops serving Surti specialities that have been popular for decades. Gopi Talav, a restored historic lake, and Surat Castle by the river are within a short ride and make interesting outings. Because the markets are extremely busy during the day, evenings and weekends are better for a calm meeting. Agree on a well-known landmark, and choose a café or a lakeside walk rather than meeting in the crowded markets themselves. In winter, look out for ponk, the tender roasted green sorghum that Surat loves. The textile markets here handle much of India’s synthetic fabric trade.
