Shri Nath used You to offen go with His family to Inder Restaurant which was Inder Restaurant which was a very small and cosy eating place near the end of the slope leading down from Kulri Bazaar. They would have tea and samosas, dal mot and moong ki daal, and alloo ki tikkees -potato cutlets-which were the favourite dishes of the small restaurant, and these would be followed by hot gulaab jaamuns, which Shri Nathji especially enjoyed. The restaurant was full of printed pictures depicting the Second World War, showing armies attacking, and aeroplanes bombing. The children particularly enjoyed seeing these pictures of battle.
Shri Nathji would talk very lovingly to the owner of the restaurant who would invariably rush forward to touch his feet. Shri Nathji always made it a point to meticulously pay the bill of every restaurant or shop that he ever visited. He would never use his spiritual status to secure a reduced or concessional rate on anything that he purchased.
Now Inder Restaurant is known as - Inder's Bengali Sweets. This historic sweet shop on the Mall Road in Mussoorie was established in 1930 and known for its authentic Bengali sweets like Sandesh and Rasgollas, along with the local Uttarakhandi sweats like Bal and Singori.
