The owner of this restaurant averted the idea to rip off the graves for his establishment. Rather, he designed the whole set up around these graves. It was a deliberate effort to pay homage to these souls resting in peace and make this place a perfect hangout that can be total fun.

Graves are located quite randomly inside the restaurant and you may literally have to find the way to table. But from staff to customers, no one seems to be complaining about the same.

As per Krishnan Kutty, owner of New Lucky Restaurant, The graves have made this place auspicious and given the desired boon to his business. Since the customers are okay with the idea of dining with dead, what else can he ask for? Every morning, he wipes them clean and adorns them with flowers.
