Neelam Lutf Restaurant

Neelam Lutf Restaurant is located right at Vijay Cross Road. We are directly across from the University Boys Hostel and near Dada Sahebs Pagla. Being in Navrangpura means we see a lot of young people. The hostel boys are always coming in because they get tired of the food they get elsewhere. The restaurant isn't very big and the furniture is getting a bit old now, but it’s comfortable. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen making sure the gravies are right. Vijay Cross Road is always noisy with cars and scooters, so there is a lot of energy around the place. We don't have a manager in a suit. I usually sit at the counter and my cousin looks after the tables. We have a few guys in the back who have been cooking with us since we opened. We don't really do much in the way of advertising. The location does the work for us. People see the sign when they are stuck in traffic and they decide to come in. It gets very crowded during the lunch hour and sometimes people have to wait, which we don't like, but we only have so many chairs. We just keep serving the same dishes we have always made. It’s a busy life here in Navrangpura but we like being in the middle of everything. We just keep the stoves burning.
