Kajal Jhatka Mutton & Chicken Shop

If you go to the Baba Gang Nath Market in Munirka, you will find us at shop number 206. Kajal Jhatka Mutton & Chicken Shop is a pretty straightforward place. We deal with meat every day. The market is always crowded, especially in the evenings when everyone is getting stuff for dinner. It gets loud and there’s a lot of shouting from the other stalls. We’ve been here for a good while and know most of the people who live in the surrounding lanes. The floor gets wet and we are constantly cleaning up, but that’s the nature of a butcher shop. We get our stock in early and start prepping. It’s hard work and your hands get tired by the end of the shift. People come in asking for specific cuts and we do our best to get it right for them. There’s no fancy air conditioning here, just the fans going and the sound of knives on the blocks. Sometimes we run out of chicken before the sun goes down if it's a busy Sunday. We don't really do fancy advertising; word of mouth in Munirka is how people find us. It’s a small shop but we make it work. Most of our customers are neighbors we see every week. It’s a busy life in the market, but it’s what we know. We just focus on the meat and getting people what they need for their cooking. It’s a long day from start to finish.
