Zaaika Catering Services

Zaaika Catering Services is located in the Priyay Yashovidya Residency, Building No 1, in Tarabai Park. We’re right across from the Residency Club, which is a pretty well-known landmark in Kolhapur. Our kitchen is where everything happens. It gets hot and loud with the sound of knives chopping and water boiling. We’ve been doing this for a long time, so we’ve seen all kinds of food trends come and go. Kolhapur is famous for its taste, and we try to keep that tradition going in our own way. We don’t have a fancy office with a receptionist. Most of the time, our hands are busy with spices or dough. If the phone rings, someone wipes their hands on an apron and picks it up. It’s a family-style operation where everyone chips in. Sometimes we run out of gas or a delivery bike gets a flat tire, and we just have to scramble to fix it. We aren't looking to become a massive chain. We just want the food we cook to be decent and for people to be full. The work is hard on the back and the hours are long, especially during wedding season. But there’s a certain satisfaction in seeing the empty plates at the end of an event. That’s why we stay in this business, even with all the heat and the constant stress.
