The Day I Walked to Apsheron Cafe - #Communityreviewchallenge.

It was one of those days when you have just been to government office, weary of endless waiting and unpleasantness of carrying files from Dept to another, you finally get things done. More so, you felt the day was not over, you still you want to accomplish more tasks. You still went ahead to building materials mall in searching of best materials for your apartment renovation. Again, you thought of seizing the opportunity to visit a nearby mall to buy groceries before heading home. finally, you are exhausted and hungry, the hunger pang become louder than ever, you cannot just hold it, you just want to eat whatever and wherever possible. This is experience describe what lead me to Apsheron Cafe on the fateful day**.**

Apsheron is a modest café, recently opened by the popular road.And, I remembered it wasn’t there last year although it has an upscale restaurant in an adjacent building. I entered the bungalow café, seated in the heavily padded Sofa typical of Eastern restaurants. It would turn out as I had guessed, I was in an Uzbekistan Cafe. A cheerful male waiter wasted to time in offering the menu. I ran my eyes through the list and among what caught my attention was this Plov . It was more of familiarity than a search for new experience. I ordered for the Plov and before I could blink an eye, the food was already on my table. The plov taste has expected nothing was unusual about it. It remains the same delicious Uzbek Plov.

My impression was not about the food but all about the totality of the café: the high quality of service, the cool interior, the suitably location and the reasonable price. I knew I want to write a review. So quickly, I had written it at the bus top while waiting for bus.

It turned out to be a good decision, the owner wrote back in appreciation but that was not the peak of it. My comment and photographs turned-out to be popular and in just 2 days, it had gathered more than hundreds of views. As a result, Apsheron Cafe has become popular and more people now patronize it. Whenever I pass by the café or heard people talking about it, my heart tingles of joy, my memory flashes back to that day I walked to the café.

Even now, I am written with feeling of accomplishment, knowing that my reviews and uploaded pictures are helping small businesses thrive. What a fulfilling ways of supporting community businesses!!!
