Machan The Family Restaurant

Machan The Family Restaurant is located on the Kakarmatta Diesel Loco Motive Works Road, right near the DLW Gate in Varanasi. Being so close to the railway colony means we see a lot of the same families all the time. Varanasi is a city that never really stops, and this road is a good example of that. We have a simple dining room where families can come and sit without any fuss. It is not a place with dim lights or expensive decor, just plain tables and chairs that work for everyone. We start our prep work in the late morning so we are ready for the lunch crowd. A lot of our customers work at the DLW and they come in for a quick meal during their break. We have a small team in the kitchen and a couple of boys who help with the tables. My desk is near the entrance so I can see everyone coming and going. The noise from the trains and the traffic is just part of the background here. We don't have a complicated menu, just the standard dishes that people in this neighborhood enjoy eating. It is a family business and we take pride in just being a reliable spot for people to get a meal. We stay open until fairly late at night because the road stays busy with people coming home from the city center.
