Pradeep Sweets Shop & Caterers

Naraina Industrial Area Phase I is a tough place to work. It's all dust and heavy trucks. We are located at C-169. Our place is a bit different because we do catering too. This means some mornings we are cooking for hundreds of people. The kitchen is always full of steam and the sound of large ladles hitting the bottom of pots. I spend a lot of time on the phone coordinating where the food needs to go. It’s not always easy. Sometimes a van gets stuck in traffic or a burner stops working. But we manage somehow. When we aren't doing big catering orders, we serve the local workers who come in for a quick bite. They want something filling and they want it fast. We don't have any fancy decorations on the walls or anything. It’s just about the food and getting it out on time. I’ve been in this line of work for a long time. I started out as a small helper in a different shop and now I run the show here at C-169. My clothes always smell like oil and spices at the end of the day. That’s just the life of a halwai, I guess. We try to keep things honest and simple. If the ingredients are good, the food will usually be good too. That’s really all there is to it. No need for big words or marketing or any of that stuff.
