Super Haji Biryani

You can find Super Haji Biryani on the ground floor over at Atghara Chinarpark. We are right on Rajarhat Road in the Rajarhat Gopalpur area of Kolkata. Being near the Chinarpark More means it is almost always busy outside. There are so many people moving through this part of town heading towards the airport or into the city. Our shop is quite simple, really. We have the big pots of biryani going, and you can smell the spices from a block away. It gets quite hot in the kitchen, but we are used to it by now. The floor is usually a bit damp from cleaning, and the walls have a few marks where we've moved things around. We aren't trying to be a fancy restaurant with waiters in uniforms or anything like that. It’s more of a place where you get your food and sit down if there’s a stool free. We see a lot of office workers during the day and families in the evening. Most of the staff live nearby, so we just walk or take a rickshaw to get here. We spend a lot of our day prepping onions and rice. It’s a lot of manual work and we don't use any fancy machines for it. The noise from the Rajarhat Road traffic never really stops, but it’s just the background sound to our day. We just keep serving until the pots are empty and it’s time to go home.
