Tandoor Home Restaurant

Down here on Southern Ave in Kalighat, things move at a slightly different pace. We are at number 24, which is an old spot that has seen a lot of history. Tandoor Home Restaurant is what we call it, mostly because we want it to feel like a place where you don't have to dress up or act special. We have been here for a bit, and the walls probably need a new coat of paint soon. The kitchen is tucked in the back and it stays quite warm. We have a couple of big windows that look out onto the street, so you can watch the people walking by while you wait for your order. It is a simple life we lead here. We buy our vegetables from the local market every morning to make sure they are okay to use. Sometimes the delivery truck is late and we have to scramble, but that is just part of the business. The staff is mostly family or friends of the family, so we bicker sometimes, but we always get the work done. It is a small operation. We don't have a website or a marketing person. We just have our sign outside and the door is usually open. If you are around Kalighat, you will find us easily enough. We are just a group of people making food and trying to keep the place running year after year, through all the rains and the heat of the city. We hope to stay here as long as the neighbors keep coming in.
