Sree Nandhini Palace New Bel Rd

New Bel Road is always a mess with traffic, especially near MS Ramaiah Hospital. We’re at number 21, right in the thick of it. The ITI Layout is a busy place to have a restaurant. From about eleven in the morning, the kitchen starts getting really hot and the smells of the spices start filling up the whole building. We have people coming in all day, mostly students or folks visiting the hospital nearby. It’s not a place where you sit for hours; people come to eat and then they head back to whatever they were doing. We spend a lot of time wiping down tables and making sure the floors aren’t slippery. The staff is mostly busy rushing between the kitchen and the front. Sometimes we run out of things on the menu and have to tell people, which is never fun. It’s a lot of noise—plates clattering, people talking over each other, and the sound of the traffic outside. I usually sit near the cash counter and watch the street. The 560054 area has changed a lot, but our corner stays pretty much the same. It’s a lot of hard work on your feet all day, but that’s just how the food business is. We just focus on getting the food out and keeping the place running as smoothly as we can manage. It’s a simple life of serving meals to whoever walks in.
