R K Bhaji Pav Centre

We’ve been here at Vijay Cross Roads for a good while now. It’s a small place inside the Shree Vijay Complex in Navrangpura. Usually, the area gets pretty crowded in the evenings when everyone wants something hot to eat after work. We just keep the stove going and serve what folks ask for, mostly just the bhaji pav we’ve been making since we started. There isn't any fancy seating or air conditioning here. It’s just a few tables where people can stand or sit for a bit. Some days the bhaji is a bit spicier depending on the chilies we get from the market that morning, but we try to keep it consistent. The traffic outside can be really loud, especially during rush hour, but that’s just life in this part of 380009. My brother and I manage most of the work ourselves. We start chopping onions and mashing the vegetables early in the morning so everything is ready by the time the lunch crowd hits. The butter is always sitting right there on the counter. We don’t really change the recipe much because our regulars seem to like it the way it’s always been. Sometimes on weekends, we run out of pav earlier than we expected. If you are walking around Navrangpura, you’ll see our small sign right there near the main junction. It’s not much to look at, just a place to get some food and carry on with your day.
