Isha'S Cuisine

We are tucked away at No.5 Kanniyamman Nagar 4th Street in Vanagaram. It’s a small kitchen setup where we spend most of our hours. The day starts early with the sound of knives hitting cutting boards and the smell of spices being toasted. It gets quite hot in here once the stoves are going, but that is just how a kitchen is. We aren't a big fancy restaurant with waiters in suits. It’s mostly just us in the back making sure the food is ready for whoever ordered it. The street outside is usually quiet compared to the main road, which is nice when we need to take a breath of air at the back door. There are always containers stacked up and bags of onions sitting in the corner. We don't really have a lot of decorations on the walls; it’s mostly just stainless steel and tile that we scrub down every night. Sometimes the delivery guys have a hard time finding 4th Street, so we end up standing out on the corner to wave them down. It’s hard work and our backs usually ache by the time we finish up, but we like the routine of it. We just focus on getting the cooking done and making sure we don't run out of ingredients before the day is over. It is a long day but we keep at it.
