Hotel Cafe Deluxe

Hotel Cafe Deluxe is located in Andheri West, right where Mirza Galib Road meets Veera Desai Road. It is a very busy spot near Azad Nagar P. The traffic around here is really something else, especially during the morning rush. I work at Hotel Cafe Deluxe and I see the same commuters every single day. The shop has these old-style tables that have seen a lot of use over the years. We keep the tea brewing almost constantly because that is what most people ask for. The walls have a few marks here and there, and the paint is peeling a bit in the corner near the kitchen door. Andheri West is always loud, so we have the radio playing softly in the background to try and cover the noise of the horns. Mirza Galib Road is famous for being crowded, and our spot near Veera Desai Road is no exception. At Hotel Cafe Deluxe, we don't really have a lot of space, so people often share tables. It’s funny how strangers will just sit next to each other and not say a word. I spend my time wiping down the surfaces and making sure the glasses are clean. The fans on the ceiling spin fast but sometimes they just move the hot air around. It’s a simple place to get a quick drink or a snack before heading back out into the chaos of Azad Nagar P.
