Chandra Tent & Caterers

Our place is over in Jawahar Park, near Shalimar Garden A/4. We handle two things mostly, the tents and the food. It’s a lot of coordination. One half of the day we might be hauling heavy fabric and the other half we are checking on the big stoves and pots. Cooking for a lot of people is always a challenge. We have large tandoors and huge vessels for making rice and dal. It gets very hot in the kitchen area, especially when we are preparing for a big party. We've been around this part of Sahibabad for quite some time now. Most people know us for the local events. We don't go for anything too flashy, just simple setups that work. The crew we have knows how to manage the crowds and keep the food coming out. We spend a lot of time cleaning plates and folding up the linens once the party is over. It’s not an easy life, working weekends and holidays, but it’s what we do. We just start early in the morning, get the supplies from the market, and start the prep. It’s about being there on time and making sure the guests have a place to sit and something to eat. We often stay until the last guest leaves so we can start taking the poles down and cleaning up the park area.
