Visit to Satluj Valley Restaurant

Today I want to share simple but very relaxing experience of my day. It was not something big but still it gave me peace. I went to Satluj Valley Restaurant with my friend. We both were feeling tired from routine life. Same work same pressure same thinking every day. So we decide go out and eat something good. In this way we will spend some time together.

When we reached Satluj Valley Restaurant first thing I noticed was open environment. There was green grass and open sitting area. The air felt fresh and place was very calm. It was not noisy like city restaurants. I felt relax there. Sometimes environment matters more than food and this place really had good vibe.

We talked for some time before ordering food. Normal talks about life, work, future plans and small jokes. No stress talk only friendly conversation. After that we ordered Afghani Handi with special naan. Honestly, we were very hungry and waiting for food. When food arrived, smell was really amazing. The handi was hot and creamy. Steam was coming out from it. Ginger slices and fresh coriander were on top which made it look more tasty. The naan was big, fresh and very soft. It looked perfectly cooked.

I took first bite and I really liked it. The taste was outstanding. Not too spicy and not dull. Chicken was soft and gravy was rich and creamy. It felt like comfort food. My friend Awais also like this very much. We both agree that taste is admirable.

We ate slowly and enjoy every bite. We were not in hurry. In eating time we kept talking and laughing. I looked around and saw families sitting together, friends enjoying food and kids playing on grass. That scene made the place more beautiful. This felt peaceful and alive at same time. The naan was very fresh and warm. We kept dipping it into handi. Simple food but full of taste. Sometimes simple desi food gives more happiness than fancy meals. I really enjoyed that moment.

While sitting there, I started thinking about life. Life moves very fast. Work, responsibilities and stress never end. We forget to enjoy small moments. But days like this remind us that happiness is simple. We do not need expensive places and big plans. We only need good company, good food and a calm place.

After finishing food, we did not leave immediately. We stayed there for some more time. Weather was pleasant and light was soft. The Sun was slowly setting and environment felt peaceful. I felt relaxed from inside. When we finally left restaurant, I felt very satisfying. Not only because of food but because of time spent. My heart felt light. This visit was simple but meaningful.
That is why I am writing this diary game today. Small moments like these deserve to be remember. My today was not special in calendar but it was very special to me. A calm place, good food and a good friend made my day better.
