Sunday Brunch in Ahmedabad | Lithosphere by Upper Crust
A restaurant built on 30 years of family
There is no shortage of Sunday brunch restaurants in Ahmedabad, but only a handful are worth giving up your Sunday for. Lithosphere by Upper Crust, tucked behind Rajpath Club in Bodakdev, is one of them. Every Sunday from 12 noon to 3 PM, the main restaurant runs a sit-down brunch at Rs 1,299 per adult and Rs 700 per child. The menu is not fixed either. It is rebuilt every two weeks, which keeps the kitchen on its toes and gives regulars a reason to keep coming back.
You will find it on Rajpath Rangoli Road, part of the larger Lithosphere complex that also houses a coffee shop, a boulangerie and patisserie, a banquet space, and Altitude, the rooftop restaurant upstairs. If you have been hunting for a weekend brunch in Ahmedabad that does not feel like an afterthought, this is a good place to start.
To understand Lithosphere, it helps to rewind a little. In 1989, Lester Dsouza opened Cafe Upper Crust as a small bakery and confectionery in Ahmedabad. A modest start, but a clear one. Things really shifted in 1994, when his wife Monisha Dsouza came on board. Monisha had a sharp instinct for what the city actually wanted to eat, and she put that instinct into everything she touched. She brought sizzlers onto the menu, built the restaurant programme at Vijay Cross Road from the ground up, and shaped the food philosophy Upper Crust still runs on today.
Aditya and Natasha grew up watching all of this happen. Monisha was never just a business partner to Lester. She was the one in the kitchen, the one rethinking the menu, the one who cared how a dish tasted before it ever reached the table. So it is no surprise that both her children ended up in the same world. Aditya went on to study hospitality management at Oxford Brookes in the UK, and Natasha trained as a patisserie chef at Le Cordon Bleu in London. The path each of them took says a lot about the home they came from.
Lithosphere is what that upbringing looks like fully grown. Aditya runs operations, Natasha runs the patisserie kitchen, and the Sunday brunch happens to be the best place to see both at work in a single afternoon. You can read the fuller story on the About Lithosphere page.
How the Sunday brunch works
The brunch runs every Sunday from 12 noon to 3 PM in the main restaurant, priced at Rs 1,299 per adult and Rs 700 per child, with GST applicable. That keeps it comfortably in the brunch under 1500 Ahmedabad bracket, which is part of why it works so well for families. Walk-ins are welcome, but a reservation is the smarter move given how quickly Sundays fill up. To book, call or WhatsApp the restaurant on +91 70691 88818 or +91 70691 44424.
This is a structured, course-by-course sit-down meal rather than a buffet, which is a deliberate choice. The spread runs across mocktails, soup shots, salads, a bites section, eggs cooked to order, thin-crust pizzas, mains, and desserts from the patisserie. Because the menu rotates every fortnight, the exact dishes change, but the breadth does not. There are always vegetarian and non-vegetarian options in every section, and the desserts always come out of Natasha’s kitchen. That mix of a rotating menu and a proper patisserie-led dessert course is what sets it apart from most brunch places in Ahmedabad.
What the menu typically covers
Mocktails and soup shots
The meal opens gently, with mocktails and soup shots. These are lighter, easygoing starts that set the pace for an unhurried afternoon rather than filling you up before the good stuff arrives.
Salads and bites
There is always a salad section, usually three or four fresher preparations. The bites section, listed on recent menus as LS Summer Bites, is where the kitchen gets most playful. Dishes such as Kataifi Deta Cream Chaat, Mango Lime and Ricotta Crostini, and a Cheese Fondue and Cranberry Puff Pastry have all turned up here. This is the part of the menu that changes most noticeably from one fortnight to the next.
Eggs to order and thin-crust pizza
Eggs are made to order, whether you want them scrambled, sunny side up, or as an omelette. It is a small thing, but most tables appreciate it. House-made thin-crust pizzas with a choice of toppings round out this part of the meal.
Mains
The mains pull from Indian, continental, and Asian kitchens, and always carry both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, so the non veg brunch Ahmedabad crowd is well looked after. Recent menus have featured Dhabbe Wali Dal, Lucknowi Makai Kofta, Thai Mango Curry, and Stir Fried Udon Noodles, alongside non-vegetarian plates like Mutton Sukkha and Murgh Tangdi Curry. The range is wide enough that nobody at the table gets left out.
Desserts
The dessert course comes straight from Natasha Dsouza’s patisserie kitchen, and it is one of the most distinctive parts of the brunch. Think Pistachio Double Fromage Cheesecake, Mango Coconut Lamington, a Tiramisu Croissant, and Macaroons. These are not the usual end-of-meal afterthoughts. They are the work of someone with a real patisserie background, and you can taste the difference. You can browse the latest spread on the menu page.
