Planatain Leaf

Our place, Planatain Leaf, is located in the Sagar Tarang Lifestyle Apartment building on C.t Road in Puri. We are right beside Purushotam Vatika, which is a pretty well-known spot around here. Being in Puri, we are never too far from the sea, and you can sometimes feel that saltiness in the air, especially when the wind blows from the coast. The C.t Road gets quite busy with pilgrims and tourists, so there is always a lot of noise and activity outside our windows. We spend our days mostly in the kitchen or out front, just trying to keep everything running smoothly. It’s a lot of work, prepping vegetables and making sure the supplies are fresh. We don’t have a big corporate structure; it’s just us working together to get the orders out. The apartment building is fairly modern, but we still have the usual daily headaches like a leaky tap or a slow delivery. We just deal with those things as they come up. It’s a simple life, focused on the food we serve and the people who walk in. We see a lot of travelers who are just passing through, and also some locals who live in the nearby apartments. We just try to keep our heads down and do our jobs, making sure the place is ready for the next person who comes in. There’s a certain rhythm to life here by the beach.
