Arabian Nights & Olive Kitchen

Arabian Nights & Olive Kitchen is located right in Vaishali Nagar, over at the BTE Tower. It’s a pretty modern building compared to some of the older places nearby. Working here means dealing with a lot of office people and families from the neighborhood. The kitchen stays fairly busy from the afternoon until late at night. Sometimes the orders pile up and we have to move fast to keep up with the tickets. It isn't always quiet here; there’s usually the sound of pans clanking or someone talking loudly near the counter. We spend a lot of time checking the ingredients and making sure everything is where it should be before we open. The BTE Tower is easy to find, so we get a fair amount of people just dropping in because they saw the name while passing by. It’s a job that keeps you on your feet all day long. We don’t really do much advertising or anything fancy. People come in, they eat, and they go. Some stay for a while to talk, which is nice. The lighting inside is decent, and we try to keep the tables wiped down as soon as someone leaves. Vaishali Nagar has a lot of energy, and being in this tower feels like being right in the middle of all that activity. We just show up, open the doors, and start the stoves. That’s pretty much the whole story of how we operate this place every single day.
