Amritsarian Di Hatti

You can find Amritsarian Di Hatti right near Pindi Street in Chaura Bazar. This is a very crowded part of the city, and it is always full of life. There are carts and people everywhere you look. Our shop is tucked in there, and we have been part of this market for quite a while. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else’s business. We open up the shutters early and start setting things out. The noise from Chaura Bazar is constant, from the calls of the street sellers to the bells of the cycles passing by. We don't have a lot of space, so we have to make do with what we have. Everything is kept within arm's reach. Pindi Street is just a stone's throw away, so we get a lot of people wandering over after they do their shopping there. It’s not the cleanest or quietest place to work, but it has a lot of character. We spend our days mostly preparing the food and talking to the regulars who have been coming here for years. The walls are a bit old and the paint is peeling in some spots, but that doesn't really matter much. We focus on the taste of what we are making. It is honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until the sun goes down and the market starts to quiet. On busy days, the heat from the stove makes it hard.
