Prem Di Rasoi

Prem Di Rasoi is tucked away in Building No 5-4-457 on Chirag Ali Lane. If you know the Hyderabad area, you know how busy it gets around here near Jagdish Market. This part of the city, 500001, is always moving. We are right in the thick of it. The lane itself is quite narrow and there is always someone shouting or a bike honking right outside the door. Our kitchen is where most of the work happens. We spend a lot of time there, making sure things are ready for the lunch crowd. People coming from the market often drop in because they are tired of walking around. It’s not a big fancy hall, just a simple rasoi where we cook. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the back door during monsoon season, but we put a bucket there and keep going. My cousin usually handles the front while I stay in the back. It’s a family thing, really. We’ve seen the shops around us change owners many times over the years, but we are still here at Chirag Ali Lane. It feels like home to us now. Most of our furniture is a bit old, but it works fine for what we need. We don't have any big signs, just the name above the door. If you find Jagdish Market, you're pretty much there. We just keep our heads down and keep the stoves burning every day.
