Vadilal Soda Fountain/Krishna Caterers

We've been here near Maninagar Char Rasta for a while now. It started with Vadilal Soda Fountain and then we added Krishna Caterers to the mix. People around Maninagar know where we are. It’s a busy spot but we manage. We serve sodas and do catering for local events. It’s not fancy. Just a regular place where you can get a drink or order food for a party. Sometimes it gets crowded, especially on weekends when everyone is out. We try to keep things moving. My family helps out a lot. We’ve seen the neighborhood change over the years. Some shops went away, others came in. But we stayed right here in 380008. If you're walking around the crossroads, you'll see us. We don't have a big sign or anything. Just the name on the front. We focus on getting the orders right. Catering is a lot of work, prepping everything in the kitchen and getting it to the venue on time. But it's what we do. The soda fountain part is more relaxed. Kids like to come in after school. It’s nice to see familiar faces every day. We aren't trying to be the biggest place in Ahmedabad. Just doing our job day in and day out. Most of our customers are neighbors. They know us and we know them. That’s how it usually goes here. We don't have any fancy mission statements. We just show up and work every single morning.
