Saidham Family Restaurant

You can find us in Thane East, right near the Gurudwara and across from the Kopari Telephone Exchange. We are also opposite the Shiv Society, so it’s a pretty easy spot to locate if you’re in this part of town. This is a family restaurant, so we see a lot of parents and kids coming in, especially on the weekends. The atmosphere is generally quite noisy and lively, which is how we like it. We’ve been part of the Kopari neighborhood for a while and have seen the area change quite a bit. Our space is simple, with enough tables to handle the evening rush. We don't spend money on fancy decorations or big signs. Most of our work happens in the kitchen, where we spend hours prepping the day's meals. It’s a busy life running a restaurant, and there is always something that needs fixing or a supplier who is late. We just take it day by day. The staff is like a small family, and we all pitch in with whatever needs doing. We aren't trying to compete with the big chains; we just want to provide a place for local families to have a meal. The street outside can get quite congested with cars and rickshaws, but once you step inside, it’s just a regular dining room. We keep the doors open and the food ready for whoever stops by. It’s hard work, but we are used to the routine now.
