Scary! See The Restaurant In A Cemetery Where Customers Dine With DEAD People

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.
