Punjabi Zaika Restaurant

We are located inside the C J International Hotel building, which is right by the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Our position is opposite the Langer Hall building, so there is a constant stream of people walking past our doors at all hours of the day and night. It is a very spiritual and busy part of the city. You can always hear the sound of people talking and the general hum of the thousands of pilgrims visiting the shrine. Our restaurant is simple and clean, as we have to keep up with the high standards of the area. We have plain tables and the floors are made of stone that stays cool even when it is hot outside. Because we are so close to the temple, we see people from all over the world who are visiting the city for the first time. We also get the local workers who need a break from the sun. The kitchen is busy from early morning because the temple area never really sleeps. We don't have fancy decorations, just some basic seating and a place to wash your hands. The smell of the street food from outside mixes with the incense from the nearby shops. It is a humble place to sit down for a bit and get away from the crowd. We just focus on keeping the place tidy and making sure there is always enough food ready for the next group.
