Sardar Ji Bakhsh Lucknow and The Story Behind

27 Feb, 2023 | 🕐 Reading time: 5 minutes 

Dr. Meena Moorthy endorsed the franchisee of Sardar Ji Bakhsh Coffee and Co in Lucknow in 2022, the much-needed place that serves good coffee. Dr. Moorthy originally is from Bangalore, now settled in Lucknow with her family. She is working as an Anaesthetist for the last 20 years and more, currently in Apollo Hospitals and also running the coffee house, an inspiration to many women out there. 

Sardar Ji Bakhsh is a Delhi-based company with various outlets in Delhi, Noida, Haryana, and Chandigarh, and now one in Lucknow. The coffee house is known for its great taste and authenticity in coffee. Through mutual friends, Dr. Moorthy got to meet the owners and finally decided to start this outlet in the city. Opening a cafe was originally her son’s idea, but she never thought she would enter restaurants and cafes being from a medical background.

She learned a lot about coffee and brewing since she met the owners of Sardar Ji Bakhsh coffee and co, Sanmeet Singh Kalra and Rohit Kamboj. Dr. Moorthy managed to serve the purpose of Sardar Ji Bakhsh, which is to enhance the whole and sole coffee experience for people that too with a warm environment. The place also adds up a touch of nature and knowledge with plants and books that make the ambience vibe along. 

The coffee house at Lucknow keeps organizing various events and also promotes artists, writers, and anyone and everyone who wish to explore art and life together. The evenings at SJB Lucknow are never out of melodies and warmth with an everliving aroma of good coffee. It has been proven a welcoming place for people with the combined effort of the owners and the staff. Not just confined to occasional events and get-togethers, this place is a perfect combination of minimal ambience which suits the best for work meetings or work from a cafe. 

Another noticeable thing seen here is their accessories and groceries quoted with the label “Hope and Kindness”, which tells a lot about the brand itself. The interesting thing is that a few of them are for sale and you can get them for yourself. In the era today, where life is so fast-paced, it is really important to stop for a while and be kind to someone in need. It is another beautiful way of making people feel important, excellently pursued by the brand and is carried out well in Lucknow. The place is not just for people who have the privilege to visit there, but Dr. Moorthy also provides the same luxury to the people and children who actually cannot afford these experiences. As they say, “ sirf apne liye jiye to kya jiye?”. 

Miss Moorthy also made an effort to renovate and maintain the park which is right in front of the coffee house. The premises are taken care of by her, which were previously not in very good condition. It is open for people to sit or walk around, get their pets if they want and spend some time in nature.

Dr. Moorthy mentioned that she loves meeting people and admires good causes and hard work. 

Having asked about the influence of the place in her life, she mentioned, “ I like to socialise so this place feels to me as a labour of love and warmth where I get to know a lot many good souls each day and it feels great to see people getting coffee and positivity, both served in their mugs.” 

Bursting out the curiosity at how as an anaesthetist she manages to run the place excellently, she had a very beautiful answer to give. She mentioned that her family support makes it smooth for her to manage both things in her life. She also mentioned that she has always been a keen kid, learning music, and dance forms, knowing about Hindu mythology and many other things to keep herself busy. She also learned pottery when she was in the US, tells us how beautifully she has had balance in her life for her work and hobbies both.

It is inspiring how she was never just confined to one thing but has also invested her time and energy in little special things which add flavours and fragrances to life. She always had ways to make the best use of time and continued the same in her 50s, inspiring people around. She believes and quoted the thoughtful saying, “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty” by Anne Herbert and also lives a life based on the same. Her beautiful aura not only makes us feel warm but also inspires a lot of us to learn how little things we do can touch people in ways we can never imagine. 

To know her more and to experience the real taste of coffee in Lucknow, you must visit SJB and do not forget to try their bestseller, Cranberry Black. The place is also open for artists to showcase their work.
