Cafe Jungli

You can find Cafe Jungli down on the lower ground floor of Shree Nand Bhawan. We are right on the Main Road in Ranchi, basically across from the Big Bazaar. Being in the basement means it stays a little cooler than the street outside, which is nice during the summer months. We started this place because we wanted a spot that didn't feel like the big corporate chains nearby. It is a bit of a climb down the stairs but once you are here, it is quiet enough. We have been here for a bit now, dealing with the usual stuff like leaky pipes or the delivery bikes blocking the entrance upstairs. It is not a perfect setup, but it works for us. Most of the people who come in are just looking to get away from the Main Road traffic for a while. We spend a lot of time just chatting with the regulars who work in the offices nearby. The menu is stuff we like to eat ourselves. We don't try to be anything we aren't. It is just a basement cafe with some decent lighting and a lot of heart. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait for the generator, but that is Ranchi for you. We keep things pretty basic here. It is just us doing our thing every day near the Big Bazaar.
