Raj Restaurant & Catering

You can find us over on Sodepur Road in Madhyamgram. We are right opposite the State Bank of India, which makes us pretty easy to spot if you are looking for it. The area of Bireshpally is always moving, with people going to the bank or catching buses. We do a mix of things here, serving people who walk in and also doing catering for events around Kolkata. The kitchen is almost always busy, especially when someone orders a big batch of food for a family gathering or a party. We spend a lot of time hauling large pots and making sure we have enough spices in the pantry. It gets really hot near the stoves, but we are used to it by now. Sometimes the delivery guys are late because of the traffic on Sodepur Road, and we have to manage that stress. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just make food that tastes like it should. We’ve seen many families grow up in this neighborhood, and they keep coming back to us for their big occasions. It’s a lot of work to keep a catering business going, especially with the planning and the transport, but we just take it one day at a time. We clean up the kitchen at night, lock the doors, and then start the whole thing again the next morning without much delay.
