Gotri is one of Vadodara’s fastest-growing areas, in the west of the city, with new apartment complexes, hospitals, schools, cafés and shopping centres. Together with nearby Vasna-Bhayli Road, it has become popular with young professionals and families looking for newer homes. For Myra members, Gotri offers modern, convenient first-date settings, with plenty of new cafés and restaurants. Introductions here often include people from Vasna Road, Bhayli, Sevasi, Gorwa and Alkapuri, depending on your distance limit. The area’s cafés are popular in the evening and on weekends, while weekday afternoons are calm. A coffee followed by a short walk is a simple first date. Gotri Lake, on the edge of the neighbourhood, offers a pleasant place for a stroll in the cooler months. During winter, many cafés here set up outdoor seating, which makes evening meetings especially pleasant. Weekend mornings are quiet and ideal for brunch, when the newer cafés are calm and the roads are empty. In the monsoon, the lake fills up and the area turns green, which makes a short walk after coffee especially pleasant. Gotri was a separate village until the city’s expansion swallowed it in the 2000s, and the old village temple and pond are still at its heart. The large GMERS medical college and hospital is located here, and many young doctors and nurses live in the area. Towards Vasna-Bhayli, new townships are being built at a remarkable pace, while the Sevasi stepwell, a fifteenth-century structure with carved pillars, is a lesser-known heritage site just to the west worth visiting together.
