Navaithes Kitchen

We spend most of our time here at Nagawara Asarwa Chawk 81/6. Navaithes Kitchen is just a small place we started because we liked to cook. It’s not one of those big restaurants you see in the city center. We get here early, usually when the sun is barely up, to start chopping onions and getting the pots ready. The kitchen gets pretty warm by noon, especially when the burners are all going at once. My brother helps me out with the orders and my nephew comes in after school to help clean up the tables. It’s a lot of work, but it keeps us busy. The street outside is always noisy with the traffic from the Chawk, but we don't mind it much anymore. Sometimes the vegetable guy doesn't show up on time and we have to go down the road to get what we need. It’s just a normal neighborhood spot. We see the same faces every day, mostly people who work nearby or live just around the corner. We don't have any fancy decorations or soft music playing. It’s mostly just the sound of the pans and people talking. We try to keep everything simple. If we run out of something, we just tell people and they understand. It’s just how it is running a small kitchen in this part of town. We just hope the food tastes like home for whoever stops by.
