Giriraj Caterers

Our shop is number 31 in Ranipura. If you know Ranipura, you know it’s one of the busiest markets around. There’s always someone moving, trucks loading, and people everywhere. We’ve been in this shop for a long time. It’s a small space, but we use every inch of it for our catering supplies and equipment. We don't do much of the actual cooking right in the shop because it’s too cramped; we usually have a bigger space we use for the heavy work. But this is where people come to talk to us and book their dates. We’ve survived here because we keep things simple. We don’t use any fancy words to describe our food. It’s just good, honest cooking like you’d get at home, just in much larger quantities. Dealing with the crowds in Ranipura every day can be a bit much, but it keeps us on our toes. We don’t have a big marketing plan or a polished image. Most of our customers are locals who have been coming to us for years. They know we’re just regular people trying to do a good job. We work long hours, especially during the festival seasons, but that’s just how it goes in this business. We like the energy of the market and being right in the middle of all the action. It is a loud place but we are used to it.
