New Little Chef

Down in Narayantala West, specifically at Prafulla Kanan, you can find us on the ground floor. We are pretty close to the Utsav Marriage Hall, so we see a lot of wedding guests and families wandering around on those busy nights. New Little Chef is a small place, but it keeps us on our feet. The kitchen gets hot, especially during the humid Kolkata summers. We do a lot of chopping and stirring throughout the day. The smells of spices usually fill up the space by noon. People from the nearby houses in the 700101 area stop by quite often. We aren't doing anything revolutionary here, just making food that people like to eat when they don't want to cook at home. Sometimes the fridge makes a weird noise or the delivery guy is late, but that's just part of the routine. We know the neighbors by name and they know us. The marriage hall nearby brings in a lot of life to the street, and we are just a small part of that local scene. We don't have any corporate slogans, just a menu and some tables. It’s a lot of work to keep things clean and the ingredients fresh, but we’ve got a good rhythm going. Most evenings are a bit of a blur of tickets and plates. It’s just how it is.
