A Taste of Gratitude: Annal Kotak Honours SHE Team at A Grand Opening of Her Restaurant ‘522’
Celebrating flavours with a heartfelt touch, well-known food entrepreneur Annal Kotak recently launched her brand-new restaurant ‘522’ with a special tribute to the real-life heroes of the city — the women officers of the SHE Team.
Instead of a typical ribbon-cutting event, Annal chose to honour the brave women who work behind the scenes to keep the city safe. The inauguration turned into a beautiful celebration of courage, service, and community.
Located near Tapovan Circle, which connects Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, ‘522’ is more than just a restaurant — it’s a space built on the values of safety, empowerment, and togetherness. Positioned opposite Swarg Bhagwati, on TP Road No. 44, this new culinary destination offers not just delicious food but also meaningful experiences.
At the opening, Annal said,
“We are able to walk freely and safely in this city because we know that our safety is in the hands of the SHE Team. They are always present — 24 hours a day — ensuring protection, especially for women, children, and senior citizens.”
She was joined by Mrs Lipi Khandar, and together, they felicitated the women police officers and constables of the SHE Team, expressing heartfelt gratitude for their service.
The Real Heroes in Uniform
The SHE Team is a specialized wing of the Ahmedabad Police, created to prevent and respond to crimes against women. They handle cases of harassment, stalking, abuse, and provide help in emergencies. These women officers are trained to not only take action but also offer emotional support and guidance to those in need.
Annal emphasized this during her speech:
“As a woman entrepreneur, I truly understand the importance of safety and the emotional strength that comes from feeling protected. These officers are our true heroes, serving society with humility and dedication.”
For Annal, this event was personal. Being a female entrepreneur herself, she knows the challenges women face, not only in the business world but in society as a whole. Honouring these officers was her way of giving back, showing respect, and encouraging others to support women in every role — be it in kitchens, corporate offices, or on city streets in uniform.
She added,
“I strongly believe that when we support and appreciate our protectors, we inspire a chain of positivity. By encouraging the SHE Team, we are encouraging thousands of women to feel safe, to dream, and to step forward.”
While the event focused on safety and empowerment, the restaurant itself promises a delightful experience for food lovers. Known for her attention to detail and passion for flavours, Annal has designed ‘522’ to offer a mix of local tastes, modern fusion dishes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
With an eye-catching interior and a menu crafted for all age groups, it aims to be a family-friendly hangout spot where stories, laughter, and meals are shared.
The event ended on a high note with the SHE Team enjoying a special lunch prepared at the restaurant. Their smiles and presence added pride and positivity to the launch.
It was not just a restaurant opening; it was a moment that honoured service over showbiz, respect over rituals, and people over publicity.
Annal Kotak’s initiative has already started inspiring many in Ahmedabad. She has proved that businesses can lead with heart, and celebrations can have deeper meaning.
