Shanker Mukesh Caterers

Shanker Mukesh Caterers is based out of our space in Parasnagar-1, which is over in the Juna Wadaj area of Ahmedabad. We have been doing this for a long time now, mostly handling the cooking for various gatherings around this part of the city. Our kitchen stays pretty busy starting from very early in the morning when the vegetable supplies arrive. It’s not some big corporate operation, just a group of us who know how to handle large pots and get the food ready on time. We do a lot of local events and the neighborhood knows where we are located near Naranpura. The work is mostly about physical labor, like chopping onions and moving heavy crates of plates back and forth. It’s noisy and hot in the kitchen but that’s just how it is when you’re making food for hundreds of people at once. We don't really do much advertising because most people just hear about us from their neighbors or see us working at someone else's party. We try to keep our equipment clean and our recipes consistent, which is what keeps us going through the busy wedding seasons. Sometimes things get a bit chaotic when we have two orders on the same day, but we usually figure it out. Being in Juna Wadaj means we are close to the markets, which helps us get what we need daily. It is a straightforward life and we just focus on the cooking part.
