Ovon Biryani Shop

We are located at 119/191 Om Nagar, right in the middle of Gumti No-5 in Kanpur. Our shop is on Bamba Road, which connects to the 80 Feet Road. If you know Kanpur, you know how hectic these streets can be. We’ve been here for a bit, focusing mostly on our biryani pots. The smell of the rice and spices is usually what tells people they are close. Our address is 208012 and we’re right there near the 80 Feet Road crossing. It’s a small shop, not much more than a counter and some space for the big cooking vessels. We don’t have a lot of bells and whistles. It’s just a lot of steam, heat, and moving around to get the plates out. The traffic on Bamba Road is constant, so we’re used to the honking and the dust. We start our prep very early in the morning so the food is ready when the lunch rush hits Om Nagar. We aren't a big franchise or anything like that. It’s just a few of us making sure the biryani is cooked right. Sometimes we run out of food before the day is over, but that’s just how it goes in Gumti No-5. We just try to stay busy and keep the pots full. It's simple work but it keeps us on our feet all day long.
