Hotel Spice Garden

At Kothrud 104, we have Hotel Spice Garden. It’s a basic spot, really. We focus a lot on the kitchen because that’s where everything happens. You can usually hear the pans clattering and the chefs talking from the front. The seating area is just simple tables and chairs that are easy to wipe down. Kothrud is a busy neighborhood, so we get a lot of people coming in for a quick lunch during their break. We don't have any fancy tablecloths or dim lighting. It’s bright and functional. Sometimes the delivery bikes parked outside get a bit crowded, but we try to keep them organized. The menu is just printed on some thick paper that gets a bit oily over time, so we have to replace them every now and then. We have a regular crowd that comes for the same dish every day, and we usually have it ready for them almost before they sit down. It gets pretty hot in the kitchen, so we keep the fans in the dining area going at full speed. It’s a local business run by people who live nearby. We aren't trying to be a five-star place, just a spot where you can get a meal that tastes like it was made in a real kitchen. The walls are a bit plain, but they are clean, and that’s what matters most to us at the end of the day.
