Mayur Tent & Caterers

Our place is over in Mayur Vihar II, specifically J Block, East Vinod Nagar 6. We call the business Mayur Tent & Caterers. It’s a mix of two things here—tents and food. One side of the space is for the catering gear, like the big metal pots and the burners, and the other side has all the tenting supplies. It usually smells like whatever we’re prepping for the next day, maybe some spices or just the cleaning soap we use for the dishes. We spend a lot of time scrubbing those large cooking vessels. It’s hard work, especially when we have a big order for a wedding. The tent part of the business means we’re also moving poles and heavy rolls of cloth around. It’s never really quiet here. There is always someone coming in to discuss a menu or check if we have enough chairs for a hundred people. We just write it all down in a big ledger we keep on the desk. Sometimes things get a bit disorganized when we have multiple events on the same day, but we manage to get it done. We’ve been working out of this spot for a while, and the neighbors know us well. It’s a busy life, balancing the cooking and the setup, but it’s what we do. We just focus on getting the food cooked and the tent stood up before the guests start arriving.
