Kausal Kachaudi Bhandar

You can find Kausal Kachaudi Bhandar tucked away in the 1st Lane of Nishatganj. Lucknow is a big city, but our little corner here in Nishatganj feels more like a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone else. We are located right on Balda Road, which is a busy part of the 226006 area. Most of the time, our mornings start well before the sun is even fully up. We have to get the kachaudis ready because that is when people are looking for something to eat before they head off to work or school. It gets quite hot in the kitchen with the big vats of oil, but that is part of the job. We don't really have a fancy office or a marketing department. It is just us in the shop, frying things up and putting them on plates. Sometimes the lane gets a bit crowded with bikes and people walking, but that is typical for this part of Lucknow. We have been in this spot for a bit and we have seen the area change around us. People come in, grab their food, and usually stand around chatting for a bit. We don't use any fancy words to describe what we do. We just make kachaudis and serve them to whoever walks in the door. If you are wandering around Balda Road, you will probably smell the frying long before you see the sign for our shop. It is a simple life and we just keep at it every day to keep things going.
