Smoke House Grill

You can find us over at C-182 in the DDA Flats in Kalkaji, New Delhi. It is a bit of an interesting spot for a place like Smoke House Grill, being tucked into the residential blocks like this. We spend most of our time around the grills and the kitchen area, getting things ready for the day. The space isn't huge, but we make it work with what we have. Kalkaji is a busy neighborhood, so there is always some noise from the street coming in through the door. We don't really have a big marketing team or anyone telling us what to say. It is just a few of us who like cooking and serving food to the people who stop by. Usually, the afternoons are spent prepping the meat and making sure the supplies are delivered on time. Sometimes the delivery truck gets stuck in the narrow lanes around the flats, which can be a real headache. We have a lot of regulars from the nearby apartments who just pop in for a quick bite or to see what’s on the menu for the day. It’s a very casual atmosphere, no fancy dress codes or anything like that. We just wear our aprons and get to work. The floor gets a bit messy during the dinner rush, and the heat from the grill can be a lot in the summer, but we are used to it by now. It is just a local spot.
