Rattan Lal Naan Wale

If you’re in Jalandhar and you ask for BMC Chowk, everyone can point you our way. We’ve been making naan here for a long time. It’s a hot job, standing by the tandoors all day, but it’s what we do. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, just a busy corner where the smell of baking bread fills the air. We don't have a lot of seating, so a lot of people just take their food and go, or they eat standing up nearby. It’s always crowded, especially in the evenings when families are looking for something for dinner. The flour gets everywhere, on our clothes and on the floor, but that’s just part of the work. We don't use any modern machines; everything is done by hand like it was years ago. Jalandhar City is a fast-paced place, and BMC Chowk is right in the middle of it. You have to be quick when you work here because the orders never stop coming. We don’t have a big menu. We just stick to what we know, which is making naan. It’s a simple life, and we like being part of the daily routine for the people living around here. If you’re passing through the city and need a quick bite, you’ll find us easily enough by the crowd gathered on the sidewalk. There’s always someone waiting for a fresh batch to come out.
