Salem Sri Saravana Bhavan

Our place sits right on the North Bypass Road in the Vannarpettai area of Tirunelveli. It is a very busy spot because of all the vehicles coming through on the highway. We are situated directly opposite Galaxy Hospital, so we get a lot of people who are visiting patients or working at the hospital. It’s a large space because we need to fit in the travelers who stop their cars and buses here. The parking area outside is usually full of dust and moving cars. Inside, it is loud with the sound of plates and people talking over each other. We have a lot of staff to keep up with the pace because nobody likes to wait when they are on a long road trip. The fans are always spinning to keep the air moving. We don't do anything special for the look of the place, it is just a standard dining hall with long rows of tables. You can hear the traffic from the bypass road even when you are sitting inside. Most of the people who come in are just looking for a quick stop before they continue their journey. We open up early for the morning travelers and keep going until late at night. It is a practical location for a meal when you are passing through Tirunelveli. We just focus on keeping the food ready and the tables cleared for the next group. There is no fuss, just a lot of work to do.
