Eww! SEE the Cemetery
Restaurant Where Customers Dine With DEAD People! [PHOTOS]
An
Indian restaurant is letting customers dine with the dead after they built
their business around an old graveyard.
And
the owner of the eatery in Ahmadabad, India says the graves are great for
business.
The
New Lucky Restaurant features tables scattered around real coffins which date
back to the Muslim cemetery on which the café was built.
Owner
Krishan Kutti decided to preserve the graves rather than ripping them out to
make way for his restaurant.
But
despite the ghoulish interior, the restaurant has become a popular hang-out.
Kutti
said: "The graveyard brings good luck. Our business has been flourishing
because of these graves. It gives people a unique experience.
"We
have maintained the graves as they were. Our customers don't seem to
mind."
But
Kutti has little idea who the graves belong to.
Some
locals claim they contain the remains of followers of a 16th-century Sufi saint
whose tomb lies nearby.
Around
a dozen graves lay inside the restaurant, and have been sealed off by iron
grills.
Every
morning, when the shutters of the restaurant are pulled up, waiters spend some
time wiping the gravestones and decorating them with fresh flowers.
"We
begin our day by paying respects to the graves. We wipe them and cover them
with cloth and also shower flowers on them. It is important to respect the
dead," said Kutti.
Customers,
on the other hand, don't seem to concerned about the presence of the dead. They
just come to relish tea and butter rolls.
