Tushanth Hotel

Tushanth Hotel is over in Andheri East, tucked away in the Vasudev Arcade at IBI House. If you know Mumbai, you know that Andheri is never quiet. We are right in the middle of all that hustle. We call it a hotel, but it’s really more of a place to eat and grab a quick tea. We started this because we saw all the workers in the arcade needing a place that felt a bit more like home. The space is small, and when it’s busy, you might find yourself sharing a table with a stranger. That’s just the Mumbai way of doing things. The fans stay on all day to keep the air moving, but it still gets warm when the kitchen is in full swing. We don't have a fancy menu printed on thick paper. Usually, we just tell people what we’ve cooked for the day. It’s mostly simple stuff like dal, rice, and some vegetable dishes. We get the milk delivered fresh every morning for the chai, which is probably the most popular thing we sell. The floor is made of old tiles and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we are too busy to worry about that right now. We just want to make sure the food is ready by the time the lunch break starts for the offices nearby. It is hard work but we enjoy the talk.
