Devs Tadaka Maarke

You can find us right on the NH-4 highway in Uchagaon. We are located at Plot 125/2, which is quite close to the McDonalds. Most people stopping here are driving through Kolhapur or live in the nearby area. The name is a bit of fun, but the food is serious business for us. We use a lot of local spices because that’s what makes the taste right. It’s a roadside kind of place, so it’s never really quiet. Trucks go by all the time, and travelers pop in for a quick bite before getting back on the road. I spend a lot of time making sure the tadka is just right in the pan. My cousin helps me with the accounts, though he’s not very good at it and often makes small mistakes. We have some outdoor seating which is nice when the weather isn’t too hot in the evenings. The menu is mostly stuff we like to eat ourselves at home. We don't have a big team, just a few cooks and some boys to clear the tables. Sometimes the service is a bit slow when a big bus pulls in suddenly, but we do what we can. People seem to like the spice levels we use. It’s not a fancy dining hall with tablecloths. It's just a place on the highway where you can get a full stomach. We've been here for a while and plan to stay for much longer. It is what it is.
