Suruchi Caterer

If you go to 120, Raja S C Mullick Road, right opposite the 5 No Bus Terminal in Garia, that’s where Suruchi Caterer is located. Being right across from the bus terminal means it’s always loud and there’s constantly people moving around outside our door. We do a lot of work for local families who live in the Garia area. The morning starts with us unloading crates of vegetables and meat while the buses are idling across the street. Our kitchen is functional and basic, which is exactly how we like it. We focus on getting the seasoning right and making sure the rice is cooked just the way it should be. It’s a lot of standing and stirring big pots for hours on end. Sometimes the humidity in Garia makes it tough to work near the heat of the stoves, but we just keep the fans going. We don’t have a website or anything like that; we just talk to people who come by the shop. Most of the people working here live nearby, so we know the neighborhood pretty well. We handle everything from small birthday dinners to bigger gatherings where we need to bring in extra help. It’s just a regular local business trying to do things properly without making a big deal out of it. We just show up, cook the food, and make sure the delivery gets where it needs to go.
