China Inn Restaurant

Our restaurant, China Inn Restaurant, is located at 8/1A on Sarat Bose Road. We are right opposite Basanti Devi College in the Hindustan Park area of Kolkata. It is a very busy street with a lot of people walking by all the time. Being near a college means we see a lot of students every day. They are usually in a hurry. Our place is quite old and the building has a lot of character, even if it is a bit worn down in places. We don't have a big budget for decorations so we just keep things simple and clean. The kitchen is in the back and it is always busy with the sound of chopping. We don't have a lot of staff, so we all do a bit of everything. Sometimes I am at the counter and other times I am helping with the dishes. We don't have any formal training in hospitality. We just learned by doing it every day for years. The noise from Sarat Bose Road never really stops, but you get used to it after a while. We don't have a website or any social media pages. We just rely on people seeing us when they go to the college or walk through Hindustan Park. It is a local business and we are just happy to be part of the neighborhood. We keep the doors open until late evening and then we go home to rest up.
