Azeem Hotel

Azeem Hotel is a small place located in Jayanagar 1st Block. If you live around here in Bangalore, you’ve probably walked past us many times. We aren't a hotel with rooms for staying; we are just an eatery where people come for a quick breakfast or a heavy lunch. The space is a bit tight, but we make the most of it with the tables we have. We’ve been in this neighborhood for a long time, and the building shows its age a little bit, but that’s part of the character. We don't have a team of waiters in uniforms. Usually, it’s just a couple of us running around, taking orders and bringing out the food. We use simple ingredients that we get from the local markets every morning. The kitchen opens early, and you can usually hear the sound of tea being made and plates being stacked before the sun is fully up. We don't go for any of that modern style you see in the new cafes around the city. Our furniture is old but sturdy, and the menu is mostly just stuff written on a board. We see all kinds of people, from students to retirees, and everyone just blends in together. It’s a busy life, but it’s our way of being part of the 1st Block community. We just keep doing what we do, day after day, without making any big fuss about it.
