Mitra Di Chaap

We are right over here at Plot 189 in Pratap Nagar. Being so close to the Mayur Vihar Phase-1 metro station means there is always someone walking by or asking for directions. It stays busy from morning until late at night around here. Mitra Di Chaap is just a small spot, really. We spend most of our day around the kitchen area. It gets very hot, especially in the summer months when the sun is hitting the street, but that is just how it is in this business. We didn't want a fancy restaurant with waiters in suits or expensive menus. We just wanted a place where the food talks for itself and people feel okay standing around. Most of the people who come by live right here in the neighborhood. We know a lot of them by name now and know exactly what they want to order before they even speak. It is funny how a small shop becomes a meeting point for friends. We keep things simple. No complicated names for things. Some days are better than others, like when the weather is nice and people want to linger outside. We have had some long nights cleaning up and getting ready for the next morning. It is hard work, and our hands usually smell like spices by the time we go home. But we like what we do. It is honest. If you are getting off the metro, you can usually find us without much trouble.
