Old Bihari Samosa - Ghant Vada

Old Bihari Samosa - Ghant Vada is a small food spot in Manek Chowk. We are right near the Krishna Hospital on Santram Road. It’s a very busy intersection, and there is always a lot of foot traffic. We’ve been making samosas and vadas in this same spot for a long time. We don't have a big restaurant with indoor seating. It is mostly a stall where people come to grab a quick snack. The air around us is always thick with the smell of the frying oil and the spices we use. We start our day early to get the potatoes boiled and the dough kneaded. There are no fancy machines here; we do almost everything by hand. The Krishna Hospital is a good landmark, so people can find us easily. Santram Road is always full of vehicles and noise, but we are used to it by now. We don't have a marketing plan or any advertisements. People come to us because they like the taste of what we fry up. Sometimes it gets very crowded, and people have to wait their turn on the sidewalk. We just keep our heads down and keep the fryer going. It’s a hot and tiring job, but we like being in the middle of Manek Chowk. It’s just a simple food stall doing its thing every day.
