About 22nd Parallel

22nd Parallel (22.17°) is the latitude that embraces the city of Vadodara on its journey across the globe. When we embarked on our journey with a vision to provide a great south Indian dining experience, Vadodara was chosen as the first destination to set up our dream project. So with a humble intent of wanting to give credit to the city which had given wings to our aspirations, we started a search for a name which gives the city of Vadodara its due as a lynchpin of our dreams and also represents a larger vision for this organization – as a result of which was born 22nd Parallel in February 2011.
