Mark 1 Restaurant & Cafe

Mark 1 Restaurant & Cafe is on Bombay Hospital Road in the Vijay Nagar area of Indore. We are tucked away near Prestige College and just behind the Prem Shanti Hotel. It is a lively spot because of all the students and the people going to the hospital nearby. We opened up here to give people a place to sit and have a meal or a cup of coffee during the day. The cafe is not very large, but we have enough chairs for the afternoon crowd. We spend a lot of our time in the kitchen or behind the counter. It is a lot of work keeping up with the orders when the college classes let out for the day. The street outside is usually full of parked bikes and cars, so it can be a bit of a squeeze. We don't have any corporate training or fancy uniforms for the staff. We just wear what is comfortable and get the work done. The menu is written on a chalkboard and we change things around when we feel like it. It can get a bit chaotic during the lunch hour, but we manage to get everyone fed. We have some plants near the window, though they don't always grow well in the summer heat. Vijay Nagar is a fast-growing part of Indore, and we see new shops opening every month. We just focus on our own corner.
