Parambriym Veetu Saapaadu

We are up on the first floor of the Mercantile Plaza building. It’s right on NSC Bose Road in Parrys. If you know the area, it’s just across from the High Court. It gets really busy around here with all the legal stuff going on. We serve food that tastes like what you’d get at home. My family has always cooked this way, so we just kept it going here. The kitchen is small but we manage. Most of our customers are people working in the nearby offices or lawyers taking a break. It’s not a fancy place with waiters in uniforms. You just come in, sit down, and eat. We get fresh vegetables from the market every morning. Sometimes we run out of certain items by 2 PM. Parrys is a dusty place but we try to keep the dining area as clean as we can. The fans run all day to keep the heat away. It’s a lot of work but it’s what we do. We don’t have a big menu, just the daily specials. It keeps things simple for us and the customers. The noise from the street never really stops, but you get used to it. We’ve been here for a while and most people find us by word of mouth. It's just a regular spot for a meal. We use the same spices my aunt uses at home, nothing bought in big packets. Some days the stairs are a bit much, but we like it here.
