Sevak Restaurant

We started Sevak Restaurant right here in Badasankha on Station Road in Puri because we live here and know the area. It gets pretty busy around here with the trains and everything. We mostly just focus on getting the food out on time and making sure the kitchen is clean. There’s no fancy decor or anything like that, just tables and chairs for people who need a meal. Most of our regulars are folks working nearby or people just getting off the train looking for something to eat before heading to the temple. It’s a lot of work every day. We open early to get things ready and sometimes the mornings are a bit of a rush. My cousin helps out with the serving and I usually stay near the counter or check the supplies. We buy our vegetables from the local market nearby every other day. Sometimes we run out of things if it's too crowded, but that's just how it goes in a small place. The fans are always running because it gets quite hot in the afternoons here in Puri. We don't really do much advertising. People just see the sign on Station Road and come in. It’s a simple setup. We try to keep things quiet so people can eat in peace. If you're walking toward the station, you'll see us. It’s not a big place, but it works for us and the people who come by. We’ve been here for a while now and know many faces.
