Sai Misal Cold Drink House

We run this small place over in Kaval Byrasandra, right on the 2nd Main in the Gangenahalli Extension. The address is 59/11 if you're looking for the door. It’s not a big restaurant, more of a spot where you can grab a quick bite and something cold to drink. The misal is what most people come for. We make it every morning, getting the spices right and making sure the farsan is fresh. It can be quite spicy, so the cold drinks are definitely needed. We have a few tables, but often it’s standing room only when the lunch rush hits. The fridge is always humming in the background, keeping the sodas and water chilled. It gets hot in the kitchen area, especially when we are frying things up. We’ve known many of our customers for years. They stop by on their way home or during a break from work. The floor is concrete and we sweep it out multiple times a day. We don't have a menu with a hundred items. We just do a few things and try to do them the same way every time so the taste doesn't change. Sometimes we run out of certain items by late afternoon if it’s been a busy day. It’s a simple setup. My nephew helps out with the serving when it gets too busy for me to handle alone. We just like seeing people enjoy their food. The morning starts with the smell of the spices heating up. It's tough work but it's ours.
