Allana Foods

Allana Foods is tucked away at 7-2-19 on Rashtrapati Road, right in the Old Bhoiguda area. It’s an old part of town with a lot of history, and you can feel that when you walk down the street. Our place is pretty basic, just a ground floor setup where we handle all the food items. The mornings are usually the busiest time because that’s when the fresh stuff comes in and we have to get it sorted before it gets too warm outside. There’s a lot of heavy lifting involved, moving sacks and containers around the storage area. We try to keep things as tidy as we can, but when you’re dealing with food, there’s always something to clean or organize. The staff here has been with me for a while, so we have a rhythm down. We don’t spend money on fancy decorations or big advertisements. Most people find us because they’ve been coming here for years or they heard about us from someone else in the neighborhood. It’s a busy road, so parking can be a bit of a nightmare for the customers, but they still manage to make it in. I spend a lot of time on the phone making sure our suppliers are on time. It’s a lot of pressure sometimes, but it’s what we do. We just want to make sure the stock is good and the orders go out.
