Jay Gurudev South Corner

If you find yourself in Raopura near Wilson Garden, you might come across Jay Gurudev South Corner. We specialize in South Indian style food, though we keep it pretty straightforward. The shop isn't very large, so it can get crowded during the breakfast hours. We get up early to start the batter and get the sambar going. It takes a lot of time to get the flavors right, but we’ve been doing it long enough that it's just a routine now. There is a lot of steam in the kitchen and the smell of spices is always in the air. We don't have any servers in uniforms or anything like that. It is just us in our regular clothes, handing out plates to whoever comes in. Sometimes the line gets a bit long and people have to wait on the sidewalk. We appreciate that they stay. The neighborhood has changed a lot over the years, but we’ve stayed in the same spot. We use the same recipes that we started with. It’s nothing groundbreaking, just the kind of food we like to eat ourselves. We try to keep the prices fair so everyone can afford a meal. It's a simple life running a food stall. You meet a lot of different people from all walks of life. We just stay focused on the pans and the customers. We don't have a website or any fancy business cards, just the shop and the stove where the work gets done.
