Gajali Sea Food Restaurant

Down here in Rajarampuri, specifically on the 11th Lane bus route, you’ll find our restaurant. We are right across from Renuka Mandir. Being in Kolhapur, people expect a certain kind of flavor, and we try to do that with the seafood we get. It isn't always easy getting fresh fish this far inland, but we have our ways and our regular suppliers who come through for us. The kitchen gets really hot during the lunch rush, especially when the tandoor is going and the pans are sizzling. We have been at this Tirtha Enclave spot for a bit. The seating is simple—just chairs and tables where families can sit down and eat without a lot of fuss. We don’t go for those tiny portions you see in big cities. It’s mostly about getting a good meal and heading home. Sometimes the street outside gets crowded with the buses and people going to the temple, but inside it’s just the smell of fried fish and spices. Our floors get scrubbed every night after the last customer leaves. It’s a lot of hard work, especially on weekends when everyone wants a table at the same time. The staff is local, mostly guys from nearby villages who know how to handle a busy crowd. We just keep the doors open and the stove hot from morning until we close up at night. This is just a regular place for people who like fish.
