Mann Vihar Restaurant

Patna gets really hot in the summer, and our spot on Industrial Estate Road in Kurji is usually humming with people coming and going. We are right in the Saraswati Chandra Market. If you walk towards Sadaquat Ashram, you can’t miss us. Being near Loyola High School means we see a lot of families and teachers. Mann Vihar Restaurant isn't one of those places with a menu you can't read. We just serve what people like to eat every day. The morning starts early here with cleaning and getting the stoves lit. The street outside is always a bit noisy with rickshaws and cars honking, especially during school hours. We have been in this part of Patna for a bit now. Sometimes it feels like everyone in the market knows each other. We sit and have tea when it's quiet. Our tables are sturdy and the floor is swept as much as we can manage. It’s a practical place for a meal. You won't find any fancy decorations hanging from the ceiling. Just a simple room where you can sit down and get away from the dust on the road for a while. We know the neighbors and the shopkeepers around here pretty well. It’s just us doing our thing day in and day out near the ashram. We keep the fans running full speed when the humidity hits. The kitchen is always busy with someone chopping onions or washing dishes.
