New Khana Khazana

We have been here in North Delhi for a while now at New Khana Khazana. It is just a regular place where we cook every day. The kitchen gets hot, especially in the summers, but we keep at it because people need to eat. We start early in the morning, getting things ready before the rush begins. Sometimes the street gets crowded outside. It is not fancy here. We have some tables and chairs that have been around for years. We just make the food like we would at home. Some days are busier than others. You see the same faces coming in for lunch or picking up dinner on their way back from work. We don't really have a big team, just a few of us making sure the pots are stirring. We don't spend money on big signs or fancy decorations. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but the stove is always going. People ask us how long we have been here and we have to stop and think because the years just blend together. It is a lot of work, washing dishes and chopping onions all day. We try to keep things simple. North Delhi has a lot of places to eat, and we are just one of them sitting on the corner. We don't do anything special, just the usual stuff you find in a kitchen. That is pretty much who we are, just people working in a food shop. We take the orders as they come and try not to get too stressed when things get loud. It is a life we chose and we just keep moving forward with it.
