Asian Catering Services

Asian Catering Services is located in Toli Chowki, specifically in the IAS Colony area. Our kitchen is where everything happens, and it’s a very busy place to be. We start cooking very early in the morning, often when it’s still dark outside. The air is always thick with the smell of spices, frying onions, and steamed rice. We have these huge metal pots called deghs that take up a lot of space on the burners. It’s a high-pressure environment because we have to get the food ready and packed into the vans on time. There’s a lot of shouting back and forth as we coordinate the different dishes. The floors are tiled but can get quite greasy, so we are constantly scrubbing them down. We have a big table in the center where several people sit to chop vegetables for hours. It’s not a restaurant where people come to sit and eat; it’s more like a food factory where we prepare large quantities for events. The IAS Colony is usually a quiet neighborhood, but our building is a hive of activity with people carrying crates of plates and giant spoons. We don't have a fancy front office, just a small space to take orders over the phone. Most of our gear is well-worn from years of use, and the walls are stained from the steam. It’s hot, sweaty work, but we are used to the rhythm of the kitchen.
