Hamsafar Restaurant

If you find yourself in Mandi, you might come across us at the Hamsafar Hotel in Bhojpur. The restaurant is part of the building there. We are located near Sukhdev Vatika, which is a pretty well-known spot around here. Working in the Bhojpur Bazar area means there is always someone looking for a bite to eat or a place to sit for a minute. The bazar is usually crowded, especially on the weekends, but we just keep doing our thing in the kitchen. We serve the people staying at the hotel and those who wander in from Sunder Nagar Bhojpur. It’s not a very big staff, so we all end up doing a bit of everything—cooking, cleaning, and taking orders. The weather in Mandi can change pretty fast, but we stay busy inside regardless. We have been in this 175002 zip code for a bit, and it feels like home now. The plates are heavy and the kitchen gets hot, but that is part of the deal. We don't have any complicated systems; we just write things down and get the food out as fast as we can. It’s a simple life running a restaurant in a hotel, meeting travelers and locals alike. We just try to keep the place tidy and make sure the stove stays lit for the next order.
