Chin Chin

Chin Chin is situated in Vasant Kunj at A/1203. It is a residential area, so things are a bit quieter here than in the big markets. We run this small food business mostly as a takeaway and delivery service. We don't have a big sign or a row of tables for people to sit at. It’s basically just a functional kitchen where we prepare various meals. We started this because we liked cooking and noticed that people in the complex often wanted a quick meal without having to drive out. We do a lot of the work ourselves, from buying the vegetables in the morning to cleaning up the pans at night. The kitchen isn't very large, so we have to stay organized or things get messy very quickly. We use standard ingredients that we get from the local vendors. Sometimes when there are a lot of orders at once, the wait time gets a bit longer, and we have to explain that to the customers. Most of the people who order from us are neighbors we recognize. It’s a very personal way to do business. We don't have a marketing team or anything; people just find out about us by talking to each other. We focus on getting the food right and making sure it's packed securely so it doesn't spill on the way to someone's apartment.
