Polka Food Court

You’ll find us over at 595/14 on Junwani Road. Smriti Nagar is a pretty active part of Bhilai, so there’s always something going on right outside our doors. We set up Polka Food Court to be a place where people can just grab a bite to eat without too much trouble or waiting around. It’s not a huge space inside, but we make the most of what we have to work with. Most days start with checking the supplies and making sure the seating area is clean for the first customers. The students from the nearby colleges and families from around Smriti Nagar keep us on our toes most of the time. It gets quite lively in the evenings when the sun goes down and the street lights come on along Junwani Road. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a bit over the years, but the basic rhythm of the street stays the same. The kitchen stays busy, and we’re usually juggling a few different orders at once while trying to keep everyone happy. Sometimes the power goes out or a delivery of ingredients is late, but that’s just part of running a place in Bhilai. We don’t go in for fancy uniforms or complicated menus that no one can read. We just write down what we have available and get to work. It’s a lot of standing on your feet all day, but seeing the same people come back day after day makes it feel okay. We’re just a regular food court trying to stay organized and serve the local crowd on Junwani Road.
