Gokul Veg

In Yelahanka, Gokul Veg is where we spend most of our waking hours. It’s not a complicated setup. We have a kitchen, some tables, and the same routine every single morning. We start by chopping vegetables—lots of them. There isn't much to say about the building itself; it's just a spot in Yelahanka that we’ve made our own. The chairs are sturdy, and we try to keep the fans running because it gets warm when the stoves are on. People come in, they eat, and they leave. We don’t have a fancy menu with photos or anything. It’s just written on a board. Some days are busier than others, especially when there’s something going on nearby in the neighborhood. We know the regulars who come in at the same time every day. We don’t even have to ask what they want anymore. The sink in the back sometimes makes a weird whistling noise, but we’ve learned to ignore it. Washing all those steel plates takes a long time, but it’s part of the job. There’s no big secret to what we do at Gokul Veg. We just show up, cook the food, and make sure the place is locked up tight at night. It’s a basic life, but it keeps us busy and the people in Yelahanka seem to know where to find us. And that's pretty much all there is to it. We keep things simple because that's what works. It gets the job done most days.
