Magnolia Restaurants

This place is located inside the Orchid Hotel on B Baruah Road in Guwahati. If you’re heading through Ulubari, you probably pass by us all the time. Being part of the hotel means we see a mix of travelers staying upstairs and locals coming in for a meal. It isn’t a huge operation, but it keeps us busy from morning until night. We’ve been set up here for a while, just doing what we do. The street outside is always packed with cars and people going to work. Inside, it’s a bit quieter. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen getting things ready. It’s a standard restaurant setup, nothing too crazy. We have some regulars who have been coming since we opened. Sometimes the air conditioning acts up or we have a busy lunch rush that catches us off guard, but that’s just the restaurant business for you. We don’t try to be anything we aren’t. It’s just food served in a comfortable room. The staff has been around for a bit, so we all know how the kitchen runs. We’re right there in the middle of Guwahati, so there is always something happening outside the windows. We focus on the daily tasks, making sure the tables are set and the food goes out. It’s a steady rhythm we’ve gotten used to over the years. We just show up and do the work. It is simple enough for us.
