Central Valley Kitchen

Central Valley Kitchen is over at Shop No-32 in Valley View Estate. It’s right there on the Gwal Pahari stretch of the Faridabad Road. If you’re coming from the MG Road side near the Bristol Hotel, you know how that drive can be with the traffic. Our little shop is right in the middle of all that activity. We spend most of our time in the back where the cooking happens. It’s a small space, so we have to stay pretty organized or we’d be tripping over each other. The heat from the burners stays in the room, so it gets quite warm during the peak hours of the afternoon. We get a lot of people who are just passing through on their way between Gurgaon and Faridabad. They stop in because we’re a convenient spot on the road. We keep things pretty straightforward here. There aren't any fancy menus or complicated setups. Just a counter, some stools, and the sound of the pans clanking in the kitchen. We wake up early to get the supplies from the market before the roads get too blocked up. Dealing with the dust from the road and the constant noise of cars is just part of the daily routine for us. It’s a hard-working little kitchen. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who know the routine and keep the orders moving as they come in through the door.
