Black Coffee The Young Restaurant

We are located in Athiyalil Plaza in Mundakayam. It’s a decent spot for a restaurant because there’s always people moving around the plaza. We called it Black Coffee The Young Restaurant because we wanted something that felt a bit different for this area. It’s not a huge place, but we have enough tables for the lunch rush. Cooking starts early in the morning so everything is ready by noon. We mostly serve the local crowd and people passing through Mundakayam. The kitchen gets pretty hot in the afternoons, but that’s just part of the job. We don’t go in for fancy plating or expensive decorations. We just want the food to taste like it’s supposed to. My cousins and I handle most of the work ourselves. One of us is usually out front while the others are in the back. It’s a simple setup. Sometimes we run out of certain items if the market didn't have what we needed, but we just change the daily specials. Being in the plaza means we have neighbors who run other shops, so it feels like a little community. We’ve had some good days and some slow days since we opened. We aren't part of any big chain. It’s just a local restaurant where you can get a meal and a coffee. We are usually here late cleaning up after the last customers leave, making sure everything is ready to go again the next morning.
