EATERIES

What is Eateries?

• Eateries means a restaurant or a café. In our area Bandra which is also known as the 'Queen of suburbs"there are many international standard restaurants / cafeterias like Hard Rock, KFC, Mac Donalds etc most of the people enjoy eating in these restaurants. However, there are still many local / traditional roadside dhabas / canteens some of which maintain clean and hygienic surroundings.

• In some of these canteens, there are only few old wooden benches for the customers to sit, floor is just Earth / ground smeared with fresh cow dung paste with rangolis (floor designs) and even the roof is not concrete but thatched ones or of tiles. These canteens open early in the morning where mostly fresh foods are offered. In some of the roadside canteens, there is even no provision for sitting inside but you just have to sit on a rock / raised platform under a tree in a local / village atmosphere with cool breeze. Even some of these canteens do not provide steel / molded plates but use eco-friendly plates / bowls made of dry leaves which can be disposed easily.

• Most importantly, these canteens provide fresh and tasty food which is comparatively much cheaper. To add to the point, in these canteens only radio is played in which you can listen to the old golden hits which takes you to a completely different world. Though such local canteens are dying, yet these are still existing.
