Reception and the restaurant is on the floor above. There are a dozen tables with either low sofas or straight-backed chairs around them. Large windows cover two sides of the room so it is very sunny and offers a fine view of the street below. The best seats are always occupied by robed men talking in Urdu. Basic Pakistani food is served, usually chicken or mutton in a pile or rice with a few vegetables or greens.
Prices are reasonable and quantities generous because the clientele is mostly local.
At lunch time each man seems to get the same thing - a small metal bowl of meat goo and a stack of chapattis. With his right hand, he tears the bread apart, wads a piece up and then mops and smears. To photograph the kitchen would require a powerful flash but the food which emerges is clean and good. Pakistani dishes are nicely spiced but can be rather oily. When the Unit and I want a break, we know where there is a deli with roast beef sandwiches and chocolate donuts.
