Zaffran

Zaffran is just a spot over here in Dlf City Sikandarpur 108 where we spend most of our day around the stoves. The kitchen gets really hot by noon, especially when the tandoor is running full blast. We mostly just focus on getting the marinades right and making sure the meat is tender enough before the lunch rush starts. It is not a fancy operation or anything like that. The floor usually has a bit of flour on it by the time evening rolls around because the guys are busy making roomali rotis. Sikandarpur is always moving, so there is constant noise outside the door from the traffic and people walking by. Some days the delivery guys are late and it gets a bit hectic, but we manage. We have been in this specific unit for a while now and the walls have that smell of spices that never really goes away even after we scrub everything down at night. It is just a regular place where a few of us work hard to get the food out to the tables. We do not have a big corporate team or anything. It is just the cooks and a couple of us helping out. Sometimes the air conditioner struggles when it is forty degrees outside, but people still come in for a meal. We just keep the tea brewing and keep the orders moving as fast as we can.
