Alvi'S Food Spot

Alvi'S Food Spot is located in Mayur Vihar. It’s a residential neighborhood, so we see a lot of the same faces every day. We didn't want to open a place that felt like a chain, so we kept it simple. It’s basically just a kitchen and a few spots for people to wait. We spend our time chopping vegetables, marinating meat, and keeping the grill hot. Mayur Vihar has a lot of food options, but we just do our own thing here. We don't have a fancy website or a PR person. If the food is good, people come back, and that’s how we’ve stayed open. The work is tiring, standing on your feet for ten hours a day, but it’s satisfying when the plates come back empty. We have a small team, mostly family and a couple of helpers who have been with us for a bit. We don't use pre-packaged stuff if we can help it. Everything is prepared right there in the back. Sometimes the supply of gas or water gets interrupted, which is just part of living here, and we have to adjust. We aren't looking to be the biggest place in Delhi. We just want to be a reliable spot in the neighborhood where you can get a decent meal without spending too much. It’s a humble place and we like it that way.
