Jageswari Catering

Jageswari Catering is located in Bania Sahi in the Old Town area of Bhubaneswar. If you know Old Town, you know the streets are narrow and it feels like stepping back in time a bit. We’ve lived and worked here our whole lives. Our catering setup isn’t very big, we mostly handle the local events in the neighborhood. We don't have a big fancy storefront, just a place where we keep our equipment and do the cooking. When we have a big order, the whole family gets involved in peeling potatoes or cleaning the rice. It’s a lot of coordination to get the food delivered through those narrow lanes without everything getting cold. We use the big traditional vessels for most of our cooking because they hold the heat better. The air in Bania Sahi always smells like incense and woodsmoke, and our kitchen adds to that with whatever we are cooking that day. We don’t really have a brochure or a menu card, we just talk to people and figure out what they need for their function. It’s a very personal way of doing things but it’s the only way we know how to work. We take pride in just getting the job done without any fuss or drama. It’s been our family business for a long time and we like it that way.
