J Foods

You can find us over at G-4 in the Maharaja Estate. It’s near the Sanand Chokdi area, right by Sanand Chokdi in Sarkhej, which gets pretty crowded with trucks and workers. We mostly handle food stuff here, mainly processing and packing things up. The kitchen area is where we spend the bulk of our day. It’s usually quite hot, especially in the afternoons. We don't have a big restaurant front or anything like that. It’s more of a practical setup for getting orders ready. We started out small and just stayed in this estate because the location works for the deliveries. There’s always a smell of spices or whatever we’re cooking that day hanging in the air. We have a few people helping with the heavy lifting and the packing. Sometimes the delivery vans get stuck in traffic near the chokdi, which is a bit of a headache. We don’t really do fancy branding. We just focus on making sure the food is handled right and goes out on time. The floor is always being cleaned because that’s just how it has to be with food. It’s a lot of manual work, standing on your feet for hours. We drink a lot of tea to keep going. It’s a simple operation, really. We just focus on the daily tasks and try to get everything finished before it gets dark. The industrial estate gets quiet once the sun goes down.
