Srija Food Products

Srija Food Products is located at 4/8, Ramkrishna Sarani in Behala. This is a narrow lane off the main road, and it’s very much a neighborhood feel. You have houses all around us, and kids playing in the street. Our workspace is small and can get very hot when we are busy. We handle various food items, so there is always a mix of smells, from spices to fried things. We don't have any big machinery; a lot of the work is done by hand. We have a few big tables where everything gets packed. The walls are a bit stained from the cooking, and the floor is concrete. It’s a very local operation. We know the people living next door, and they know us. Sometimes we have to move our delivery van quickly because it blocks the narrow lane. It’s not a corporate factory by any means. It’s more like a large kitchen that grew a bit too big for its boots. We start early in the morning when the air is still cool. By midday, it’s loud and busy. We don't spend money on fancy packaging designs or big ads. We just make the food and get it ready for the local shops. It’s hard work, but we’ve been here at Ramkrishna Sarani for a while and we’re used to the rhythm of Behala.
