chaikhana the tea houses along the legendary silk route

Mixed Appetizer Platter @ Silk Route

If I were to own a restraurant I would call it chaikhana, in honour of the tea houses along the legendary silk route from china to middle East.

These chaikhana’s historically offered weary travellers tea and meal before the advent of formal restaurants.

I see visions of youngsters having brainstorming sessions over wallet friendly traditional cuisine. Middle aged intellectuals working the inspiration of a revolution which would of course be carried out by the adoring young uns. Travel wary families stopping for a nourishing break.

Hmm the waft of tea, snacks being fried along with loud volumes of open debate drifts in.
