Bamiyan

We are over in Laxmi Bai Nagar in New Delhi 110023. This is a government colony area, so it is quite green and organized compared to other parts of the city. Our place, Bamiyan, is where we spend all our time. We started this because we wanted to have a spot for people to get something to eat. It is not a huge place, just enough tables for the locals and people working nearby. We spend the morning getting the kitchen ready and cleaning the floors. The smell of the food starts around noon. We have our regulars who come in every day and we know exactly what they want without them asking. It is a simple life of cooking and serving. Sometimes we run out of ingredients and have to send someone to the market quickly. The kitchen gets really hot in the summer, but we are used to it by now. We don't have a big menu, just stuff we know how to make well. Laxmi Bai Nagar is a quiet neighborhood and we like being part of it. We just open the doors, do our best with the cooking, and close up when the food is gone. It is honest work and it keeps us connected to the people around here. Every day is pretty much the same but we like it.
