Mithakali is a part of Ahmedabad city. Once a fairly nondescript and quiet place, it has recently seen a real estate explosion.

Today Mithakali is home to the Crosswords book store chain, the Pantaloons department store chain, the Westside stores chain which is a Tata company, the Subway sandwich store, Natural Ice cream, an Adidas showroom and many other big names that are opening up in Ahmedabad.

A multi speciality hospital Medi-Surge is located in Mithakali.

Mithakali is also a hub for offices and small stores being located at one end of the C.G. Road.

Mitahakli is today used to refer to a large traffic circle with a 6-road intersection:

1 road leads to Law Garden, 1 to C.G.Road, 1 to the Navrangpura Bus Stand, 1 to the Mount Carmel railway crossing, 1 towards Mitahakli village, and 1 to Ashram Road through the Mercury underbridge.

Mithakali was once a village on the meter-gauge railway line. It was swallowed up by Ahmedabad city in its westward growth during the 1970s. On this site [1] there is a map depicting the growth of Ahmedabad city. Though Mithakali isn’t mentioned, it is in the light-blue zone shown as growing from 1970 to 1989. It is not far from Gandhigram station, which is shown.
