The Salt N Pepper Garden Restaurant

The Salt N Pepper Garden Restaurant is located in Bikshandarkoil, which is a bit of a drive out from the main part of Trichy. We are at Rayar Thoppu, quite close to the Gurusakthra School. Having a garden restaurant means we spend a lot of time looking after the plants and making sure the outdoor area isn't too messy. It’s a lot of sweeping leaves and watering things in the early morning. The air here is a bit fresher than in the city, which is nice. We aren't some polished corporate establishment with a bunch of rules. We just open up and see whoever comes down the road. The school nearby means there’s often a bit of noise from the kids, but it’s a pleasant kind of sound. Our tables are spread out under the trees, and sometimes a stray cat might wander through. It’s all very casual. We don’t have a marketing plan or any big goals. We just want to provide a place where people can sit outside for a bit. Some days the weather is perfect, and other days it’s too hot to even move, but we stay open regardless. It’s just a small garden spot in Bikshandarkoil, run by people who live right here in the area. We’ve had to fix the garden fence a few times because of the local goats, but that’s just life here.
