Wait, what is weird about the lucky restaurant? Let me tell you! The Lucky restaurant, located in the Lal Dawaaza area of Ahmedabad, Gujarat is one of the popular hangout places amongst the locals. The bun-maska and tea is the most popular combination, loved by the customers visiting this restaurant.
That’s it? Bun-Maska and Tea? How is that weird? Well, what if I tell you that people have this bun-maska and chai while sitting just beside a grave? Now is it weird enough?
What sets the Lucky restaurant apart from others is its extraordinary interiors – the 12 graves around which the restaurant was built. It is believed that these graves belong to the followers of a 16th-century Sufi Saint. Yes, you heard it right; you actually dine in a graveyard!
In many cultures, this concept of having a meal amongst the deceased seems to be gruesome. However, the Lucky restaurant in Ahmedabad, totally disagrees with this, even more, they consider that dining in the Lucky restaurant with these dead people brings people good luck and prosperity.
This concept is now deeply rooted in the city’s culture, as the locals too have started to believe that dining with the dead at this Lucky Restaurant Ahmedabad will bring them good luck. The restaurant owner himself strongly believes in this claim and says that all the employees, who used to work here are doing pretty well. Consider it as just a matter of luck or a very rational belief.
This concept has also influenced the locals, so much so that, people visit this restaurant to have a cup of tea before starting an important day in business, personal life, or before an important exam. This has now become a tradition here. People believe that having a cup of tea here before an important day will bring them good luck.
While many people fear death, this restaurant has set a true example for celebrating death in a harmonious manner. It promotes the concept of treating the deceased with equal respect, as you treat living beings!
