Ayodhya Restaurant

Being located at Grant Road in Mumbai means there is never a quiet moment. Our restaurant is in Building 409 on Dr D B Marg, right opposite the YMCA. If you know this part of Mumbai, you know how the Grant Road East area stays crowded from morning until late at night. The station is close by, so we see a lot of people rushing to catch trains or coming back from work. The space we have is humble. We have the usual chairs and tables that have seen a lot of customers over the years. We open up and start the day by cleaning the floors and setting the counters. The noise from the street outside, the honking and the shouting of vendors, is just part of the background here. Being across from the YMCA brings in a mix of people, some locals and some just passing through the city. We don’t do anything too complicated. It’s just about cooking and serving. The kitchen is small but we manage to get things done. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when everyone comes in at once during the afternoon, but that’s just how it is in this part of town. We just keep our heads down and focus on the orders. It’s a plain place for a quick bite without any fuss. We just do our thing here every day for whoever walks through the door.
