Marathe Caterers

We run Marathe Caterers from E 7 11 Swapnil Homes. It is inside the Ashoka Housing Society in Arera Colony, which is a quiet residential area. We mostly handle catering for the families living around here. We do not do massive events with thousands of people. We prefer the smaller gatherings where we can actually keep an eye on everything ourselves. Our kitchen is small and we keep it very clean. We do all the chopping and spice mixing ourselves in the back. We do not like to buy the pre-made pastes or frozen stuff. It takes much more time to do it this way, but we think it tastes better. We have been in Arera Colony for a while and most of our neighbors know what we do for work. Sometimes they just drop by to ask about a menu for a small pooja or a birthday party they are having. We do not have a glossy brochure to show them. We just tell them what we can make and what the price will be. We use our own transport to get the food to the houses. It is usually just a couple of us doing the heavy lifting and setting up the tables. We do not have uniforms or a big brand name. We are just people who know how to cook food for our community. The work is steady, especially during the festive months when everyone is hosting guests.
