Madhuli Kathiyawadi Hotel

Over here at Madhuli Kathiyawadi Hotel, we sit right on the Godhra Lunawada Highway. We're directly across from the Khodiyar Mata Temple, so we get a lot of people stopping by after they visit the temple. Godhra is a busy place, and being in the 389001 zip code means we see all sorts of people. The hotel isn't anything elaborate. It’s a practical building designed to handle the heat of the Panchmahal district. We spend a lot of time making sure the fans are working and the benches are clean. It’s a team effort, even if there are only a handful of us. We don't have a fancy website or someone writing professional posts for us. We just handle the customers as they come. The highway brings in a lot of dust, so we're constantly wiping things down. We know the temple schedule by heart because that's when we get the most crowded. It’s a lot of standing on your feet and carrying heavy trays. We don't use any corporate jargon or talk about things being world-class. We're just a local hotel on the side of the road. People come in, they eat, and they move on with their journey. We’ve been part of this community for a while, and we just plan on keeping it that way, one day at a time. It’s a simple routine but it’s what we know best. Sometimes the kitchen is noisy, but that’s just how the work goes.
