Pushkarna Restaurant

Down here at Hanuman Chouraha, right on Kachhari Road, you can find Pushkarna Restaurant. We are in the 345001 area of Jaisalmer. It is a dusty part of town but we stay busy. The kitchen is small and we are always bumping into each other when the lunch rush starts. We make the food we know how to make, mostly just stuff we grew up eating. There isn’t much of a secret to it, just keeping the pans clean and the ingredients fresh from the market nearby. Some days the heat in Jaisalmer is really something, so we just keep the fans running and hope for a breeze. We have a few tables and chairs that have seen better days, but they work well enough for a quick meal. Most of our customers are people working in the offices nearby or travelers heading through the crossroads. We do not have a big sign or anything flashy. People just know we are here. We spend a lot of time peeling vegetables and cleaning up after the breakfast crowd. It is a simple life. We do not have a computer system or anything, just a pad and a pen to keep track of orders. Sometimes we run out of things if the delivery is late, but we just make do with what is in the pantry. It is just how it goes at a small place like ours. We just keep our heads down and cook.
