Vad Patraka Restaurant

Vad Patraka Restaurant is sitting right on Elphinstone Road in Vadodara. We are directly opposite Nehru Bhavan, which is a big landmark that helps people find us. The restaurant has been in this spot for a while, and we get a lot of people coming in from the nearby offices during their lunch break. It’s a busy street, so there is always a lot of movement outside our front door. Inside, it’s a bit more relaxed, though it gets crowded around 1:00 PM. We have simple wooden tables and chairs that have been around for years. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we’re usually too busy to get to it. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us running the floor and a couple of people in the back. The kitchen isn't huge, but we managed to get the food out pretty fast most days. You can hear the sounds of the city through the windows, but most people are just focused on their plates. We don't do any of that modern decor stuff you see in the new malls. It’s just a place to eat lunch or grab a quick dinner before heading home. The location is the best thing about us, being so close to everything in the center of town. We just keep the doors open and wait for the regulars to show up every day.
