Parakh Dinning Hall

Our place is located in the New York Trade Center, right at the Thaltej Cross Road. It’s a busy spot in Ahmedabad, especially with the Muktidham Jain Temple just across the way. We see a lot of people coming in after they visit the temple or when they are finished with their work in the trade center. The dining hall isn't very large, so during the lunch hour, it gets quite packed with people looking for a proper meal. We keep things very basic here. You won't find any elaborate menus or waitstaff in uniforms. It is mostly just us making sure everyone gets a seat and their plates are full. The noise of the Sarkhej Gandhinagar Highway is always there in the background, which can be a bit much if you aren't used to it. We start early in the morning to get everything ready for the day. Sometimes the heat in the kitchen gets really intense, but we just keep going. It’s a simple life running a dining hall. We know most of the regulars by their names and what they like to eat. We don't spend money on advertising because people usually just find us by walking past or hearing about us from a neighbor. The floors are stone and the lights are a bit dim in the corners, but it works for what we do. We just want people to leave with a full stomach and not worry about much else.
