Nepa Restro & Cafe Private Limited

Nepa Restro & Cafe Private Limited is right in the middle of Bazar Lilmatha in Lucknow. We are set up at C/O Ajai Singh Arjun Singh’s place. Being in a bazaar means it’s never quiet. There is always someone shouting or a bike honking outside the door. We run the restro and cafe from here, and it’s a lot of work to keep up with the crowd. Lucknow people know their food, so you can't really cut corners. We spend most of our time in the kitchen or out front talking to people. It’s a family-run kind of thing, so there’s always an argument about something small, like who forgot to order the milk or why the floor isn't swept yet. We don't have a big corporate team, just us and a few helpers from the neighborhood. The building is old and has its quirks, like the lights flickering when it rains hard. We just keep going anyway. It’s a living, and we enjoy seeing the regular faces who come in every day. Sometimes the stove acts up and we have to scramble to fix it before the lunch rush. It’s not a polished operation, but we put in the hours. We like being part of the Lilmatha community. It’s a tough business, but it keeps us busy and pays the bills. That’s really all we were looking for when we started this whole thing.
