Joy The Family Saloon

You can find Joy The Family Saloon at shop FF-7 in the Suryoday 2 building. We are located right by the Pavapoori Bus Stand in the Ghatlodia area. It’s a busy little corner of Ahmedabad, especially with Janta Nagar Road being right there. People are always getting off the buses and walking past, so there is never a dull moment. We are on the first floor, so you have to walk up the stairs to get to us. It’s a simple family place where we see everyone from little kids to grandfathers. The shop isn't very large, but we’ve managed to fit enough chairs so people don't have to wait too long out in the hallway. We don't use any fancy equipment, just the stuff that has worked for us for years. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the magazines on the table are a few months old, but nobody seems to care much. We talk about local news or whatever is happening on the street below. Ghatlodia is a crowded place, and our shop feels like a little bit of a break from all that noise. We open up pretty early because the bus stand gets busy at dawn. It’s just a regular business run by regular people who live nearby. We don’t do any big advertising or anything; we just stay here and wait for people to walk in and take a seat in our old chairs.
