Himalaya Restaurant

We are located out on Hoshangabad Road in the Ganesh Nagar area. This part of Bhopal has grown so much since we first started. There’s always traffic moving past our door. Running a restaurant here means you never really have a quiet moment. I’m usually here early in the morning to check the deliveries. We get our supplies from the same people we’ve known for years. Sometimes the vegetables aren't great, and I have to send them back. It’s a lot of back and forth. Inside, it’s just a regular dining room with tables and chairs. Nothing fancy. We focus on getting the food right and making sure people have a place to sit. It’s me and a few guys in the back doing the cooking. We don't have a marketing team or anything. If people like the food, they tell their friends. That’s how we’ve stayed open. The floors need sweeping constantly because of the dust from the road. It’s a never-ending job. We see a lot of families on the weekends. They come in and stay for an hour or two. I like seeing the kids grow up over the years. It makes the place feel like part of the neighborhood. We aren't trying to be the biggest place in town. We just want to serve a decent meal to whoever walks through the door. We put the chairs up at night and do it all over again tomorrow.
