Alpha One Mall Ahmedabad: Timings, Brands, Parking & Restaurants

Alpha One Mall, now officially called Ahmedabad One Mall, sits in Vastrapur, right beside Vastrapur Lake and across from Hyatt Ahmedabad. 

• One of the biggest and most visited shopping malls in Ahmedabad 

• The first name that comes to mind for many locals and tourists when someone asks about a good mall in the city 

Alpha One Mall Ahmedabad 

Where is Alpha One Mall Located? 

• Located in Vastrapur, one of the most well-connected parts of Ahmedabad 

• Sits right next to Vastrapur Lake — many people combine a lake walk with mall shopping in the same trip 

• Hyatt Ahmedabad hotel stands directly across the road 

• Easy to reach from SG Highway, Bodakdev, Satellite, Prahladnagar, and Navrangpura 

• A few minutes' drive from IIM Ahmedabad 

Is Alpha One Mall the Same as Ahmedabad One Mall? 

Yes. This is one of the most searched doubts, so here's the short answer: 

• Alpha One Mall and Ahmedabad One Mall are the same buildings. 

• After a change in ownership and management by Nexus Malls, the mall was rebranded from "Alpha One" to "Ahmedabad One." 

• Locals, Google Maps listings, and cab drivers still use both names — "alpha one," "alpha 1 mall," and "ahmedabad one mall." 

• You won't go wrong using any of these names while asking for directions. 

Alpha One Mall Ahmedabad Timings 

• Opens at 10:00 AM, closes between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM, seven days a week 

• Open on Sundays and most public holidays 

• Individual stores, the Cinepolis cinema, and restaurants may keep slightly different hours 

• Some food outlets stay open a little later than the general shopping floors 

• For a night show, check the specific restaurant or Cinepolis timing separately, as these can run past the mall's general closing time 

• Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) see the heaviest footfall, especially in the evening 

• For a relaxed visit with easy parking, go on a weekday afternoon between 11 AM and 4 PM 

Entry Fee and Parking Charges 

• No entry fee — anyone can walk in, browse, sit in the common area, and enjoy the air conditioning without buying anything 

• The mall charges a parking fee for both cars and two-wheelers 

• Gujarat's High Court had earlier ruled that malls under the state's development rules should not charge for the first hour of parking, though enforcement and current mall policy have varied since then 

• Expect a modest fee per vehicle at the basement parking, with two-wheeler charges lower than four-wheeler charges 

• Rates can change — check the rate board at the entry ramp on the day of your visit 

• Weekend evenings see the basement parking fill up fast 

Tip: On a Saturday or Sunday evening, consider BRTS, AMTS, or a cab instead of your own car — weekend parking queues near the main entrance are one of the most common complaints from visitors. 

Shopping at Alpha One Mall: Brand by Category 

Alpha One Mall houses over 200 stores — a mix of Indian and international brands. Here's the brand list organised by category, so you can jump straight to what you're looking for. 

Alpha One Mall Floor Guide: What's on Each Floor 

Once you're inside, it helps to know roughly where things are before you start walking. Here's the general floor layout — store positions can shift over time as brands change, so treat this as a guide rather than an exact map. 

For an exact, current store-wise map, the information desk near the main entrance and the mall's own directory boards on each floor are the most reliable source. 

Restaurants and Food Court 

Food is one of the main reasons people visit Alpha One Mall. The mall's food court, called Flavours, is fully vegetarian and one of the largest food courts in Gujarat, with multiple regional and fast-food counters under one roof. Outside the food court, on the top floor, you'll find well-known chains and a few sit-down restaurants. 

Movies and Entertainment at Alpha One Mall 

The mall runs a Cinepolis multiplex with multiple screens showing the latest Bollywood, Hollywood, and regional releases. 

• Ticket prices depend on the seat category and show timing 

• Check current pricing directly on the Cinepolis app or website before you go — cinema pricing changes often with new releases and weekday/weekend slots 

For families and kids, Fun City is the mall's indoor gaming and arcade zone, located on the third floor. 

• Popular stop for birthdays and weekend outings 

• No flat entry fee — it runs on a prepaid RFID card 

• You recharge the card at the counter, and each game or ride deducts points from your balance 

Note: Exact recharge slabs and per-game pricing change from time to time. Confirm current rates at the Fun City counter or on the FunCity app before you plan a big group visit. 

Facilities at Alpha One Mall 

• Fully air-conditioned floors, a relief during Ahmedabad's hot summer months 

• Clean restrooms on each floor, with family and accessible facilities 

• Free Wi-Fi across the mall 

• Baby care rooms with changing and feeding areas 

• Multi-level basement parking for cars and two-wheelers

• By bus (BRTS/AMTS): Vastrapur is a well-served BRTS corridor stop, making it one of the easier malls in the city to reach without a car. 

• By auto or cab: Most drivers and cab apps recognise both "Alpha One" and "Ahmedabad One Mall," so either name works when booking a ride. 

• From the airport: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is roughly a 25–35 minute drive, depending on traffic.
