× My hometown is in Ahmedabad.

✓ My hometown is Ahmedabad.

The preposition 'in' is unnecessary when stating the name of a city as your hometown. Saying 'My hometown is Ahmedabad' is more natural and grammatically correct.

× We are known for very spicy but very delicious food.

✓ We are known for very spicy and very delicious food.

The conjunction 'but' is incorrectly used here because it suggests contrast, but the sentence intends to show two positive qualities. Using 'and' correctly connects the two adjectives describing the food.

× I have many childhood friends there and yeah, so many memories associated with my hometown.

✓ I have many childhood friends there and many memories associated with my hometown.

The phrase 'so many memories' is acceptable but 'many memories' is more formal and consistent with 'many childhood friends'. The original is not incorrect but can be improved for parallelism.
