Kusum Catering Service

Kusum Catering Service is based in the Kusum Building on Car Street in Mangalore. We have been in this building for quite some time and it has become a second home to us. Car Street is always full of people, especially in the mornings when the shops are opening up. Our setup is pretty basic. We have the stoves, the prep tables, and the storage area for all our grains and spices. We do not go for anything modern or high-tech. The old ways of cooking still work best for us. Usually, the day begins before the sun is even up. We have to get the fires going and start the slow cooking processes. It is a lot of physical labor, standing on your feet for ten or twelve hours at a stretch. The Kusum Building is an older structure, so it has a bit of character to it. We know every creak in the floorboards. Sometimes the plumbing gives us trouble or the lights flicker, but we just fix it and carry on. We do not have a dedicated sales team. If someone wants to talk to us, they usually just walk into the building and find us in the back. We prefer it that way. It is more direct and less complicated. Mangalore is a place where word of mouth matters more than anything else, so we just focus on the food and the work we do every day.
