Delhi’s Shyam Rasoi is creating a buzz among the Delhites for serving food at the rate beyond imagination.

Hundreds of people head to Nangloi’s Shyam Rasoi between 11 am to 1 pm to have their meal at just Rs 1.
According to the reports published by ANI, the shop is being run at such low price by Parvin Kumar Goyal for last 2 months and they serve meal to around 1000-1100 people at their shop every day. They also provide around 1000 parcels to the nearby areas including Inderlok and Sai Mandir.
The uniqueness of the shop is they do not take cash from anybody. It’s open for donation which is also accepted through the digital payment mode. Goyal is quoted by ANI as saying, “We get donations from people. Yesterday, an old lady came and offered us ration, another day somebody gave us wheat, and thus we are running it for the last two months. People do help us via digital payment mode also. We have the capacity to run for seven more days. Also, I request all to help us with ration and continue this service.”
