‘Baba ka Dhaba’ owner opens new restaurant in South Delhi, becomes talk of town again

New Delhi: ‘Baba ka Dhaba’ elderly owners who shot to fame via social media have again become the talk of town, this time for their new restaurant in South Delhi.

Kanta Prasad, owner of small eatery in Malviya Nagar had driven many to tears after a food vlogger named Gaurav vasan posted their video requesting people to visit the small roadside outlet to pull them out of penury. Pandemic and subsequent lockdown had pushed them into extreme conditions and they didn’t have enough savings to make both ends meet.

“A chef and his helper whom we have employed are busy cooking Indian and Chinese food. We will start serving it as soon as they are prepared.
