Shrima Caterer

Shrima Caterer is up on the second floor at 88/A, Vivekananda Road. Being on the second floor means we have to carry everything up and down the stairs, which keeps us in shape I guess. Vivekananda Road is always humming with traffic and horns, so it’s never really quiet here. We’ve been in this spot for a good number of years. It’s a simple setup. We have our cooking area and a small place to sit and talk to people who want to hire us. We don’t have any fancy decorations or a reception desk. Most of the time, we’re too busy checking on the pots to worry about how the place looks. We do a lot of local catering for small parties and some larger ones too. It’s a lot of manual work, peeling potatoes and stirring big vats of curry. We don’t use any corporate talk here. If the food is ready, it’s ready. We try to be honest with people about what we can do and what we can't. Sometimes the kitchen gets really hot, and we all get a bit grumpy, but the work gets done. We aren’t looking to become a giant chain. We just want to keep cooking from our second-floor spot and making sure our customers are satisfied with what we bring to their tables. It’s just a regular life for us and we take it one order at a time.
