Hotel Athvan

Hotel Athvan is over in Chandan Nagar, quite close to the Koteshwar Mahadev Temple. It is a simple spot where people come to eat after visiting the temple or just because they live in the neighborhood. We call it a hotel, but it is really just a small eatery with some tables and chairs for the locals. We keep the place clean, but it is nothing fancy or decorated. The menu does not change much; we stick to what we know how to cook well for the people who come here. Most of the work is done in the small kitchen at the back. It gets pretty hot in there, especially during the summer months when the sun is out. We have a few regulars who come in every single day for their lunch. They usually sit at the same table and we do not even have to ask what they want to eat. It is that kind of place. We do not have a big staff, just a couple of us doing everything from the cooking to washing the dishes. We are not looking to become famous or anything like that. We just want to provide a decent meal at a fair price for everyone. Sometimes it is hard when the costs of vegetables go up, but we try to keep going. The location near the temple brings in many different people, which makes the days more interesting.
