H K Paratha House

Very unprofessional and unhygienic.

This kitchen is operated by a single family and all of them are not friendly, None of them has any realization that they are doing anything wrong, All the owners start treating every customer as if they are eating for free. Their mindset can be clearly seen that they are favoring their customers and society by doing this business.

While cooking, the old lady frequently itches her hair and cleans her runny nose, She cooks with the same hand without washing it, and sometimes the old lady's hair is found in the paratha (non of them use a cap as well).

If there is no customer, the old lady and the old man start eating together, and suddenly if any customer comes, the lady starts cooking with the false hand (without washing it).

They serve in a small size cheap disposal plate, where there is no place to put the chutney, and it is very inconvenient to eat on it, They do not provide even a separate paper cup for chutney, and some of their customers start eating from the main chutney bowl and take the spoon (provided to pour the chutney) inside the mouth, as the hotel doesn't provide any separate spoon, all the customer coming later have to take from the false bowl of chutney and false spoon. Their chutney is stale and its bowl is very dirty (can be seen clearly)

They do not provide a spoon if you don't buy curd from them, the curd is not complementary and they charge separately for it.

Here paratha cutter is common for all which lies down on a dirty mate, sometimes it falls down to the ground and you have to cut your paratha with the same cutter, you have to use the used one only, dirt can be clearly seen on it.

Neither do they clean nor do they make their waiter clean the table or table mate (On which to eat food, you have to eat at the unhygienic, dirty table and table mate), nor do they make their waiter put away plates, they all start instructing customers simultaneously, where to place the plate and how it to segregate from a spoon.

Not only the old couple but their son and daughter-in-law are running the hotel and they feel shame about putting away the plates and cleaning the table or table mate, they are comfortable with people eating in a dirty and unhygienic place. They should have some arrangements for it.

They have not made any arrangements for drinking water, one is bound to buy a water bottle.

my observation:
It is a student predominant area and it is a compulsion for veg. students to buy food from this family, as the other two vegs. food joints in this area are surrounded by non-veg hotels only, customer should mention their review, as customer reviews are helpful for new customers and open the eyes of the owners as well.

I pray FSSAI, to have a check on their workplace.

Kharghar is a place full of delicacies and we were lucky enough to locate the yummiest parathas in the town. Located close to Utsav Chowk this place has been serving its customers since last 6 years and been popular amongst the students living in nearby hostels.
The place is run by a 70 year old couple and family. Salute to Daadi has got great skills to cook amazing parathas at great speed. She is great in multi tasking, cooking 3 parathas at a time. They do charge extra for butter curd but the complimentary green chutney also tastes amazing, might be spicy for some. Small place with limited seating but great on taste. We went for 2 parathas and ended up eating 4 which was completely worth. Try Methi Paneer and the evergreen Aloo Paratha.
Highly recommended if you are craving for homemade parathas at less price, giving you a homely feel.

Family run place.. The son & wife manage customers, the mother is the cook & the father helps around as much as he can..Typical college student restaurant.. Don't expect anything fancy except a yummy & hearty meal at dirt cheap prices.

And to top it off you can't help but leave inspired after you see how the family runs the place. Must visit & it's now a favourite of my family.
