Mukesh Catterers

Mukesh Catterers is over at Ekta Appartment on CTM Road in Amraiwadi. We are in block B N 14. If you know the Amraiwadi area, you know how busy it gets with all the traffic and people moving around. Our place is tucked in there. We spend a lot of time organizing the deliveries because CTM Road can be a nightmare during rush hour. Most of the work happens in the back where we have the big burners set up. It’s not a fancy setup at all. We have old tables and wooden stools where we sit to clean the dal and sort the spices. My brother Mukesh handles the main cooking and I look after the logistics and the workers. It gets very hot in the summers but the fans help a little bit. We take our work seriously but we don't act like we are some big company. We are just local people making food for other local people. Sometimes we make mistakes like forgetting a spoon or a napkin, but the food is always what people expect from us. We have been at this address for quite a while now and the neighbors don't mind the clanking of pots too much. We start our day when most people are still sleeping so we can get everything ready for the lunch orders. It is a simple life but it keeps us busy every day.
