Madurei Meenakshi Bhawan

We are located at shop number 158 in the Sector 14 market. This is a big market and it can be hard to find a specific shop if you don't know the layout. We are surrounded by all sorts of other businesses. Every morning the smell of the cooking starts early. We have big metal pots and the stove is almost always going. The floor gets swept many times a day because people bring in a lot of dust from the street. It’s a small space, so the tables are pretty close together. You can hear the conversations from the next table easily. We have a small sink for customers to wash their hands near the back. Sometimes the water pressure is low, which is a bit of a pain. The market outside is always full of cars and people looking for deals. We have a few staff members who have been with us since the start. We just wear regular clothes and try to get the food out as fast as we can. It’s not a place for a long, fancy dinner. It’s a place to come eat and then go back to your day. We like the energy of Sector 14. Even when it’s raining and the ground gets muddy, people still show up. It’s just how things are here. We just focus on getting the daily prep done and keeping the tables clear.
