K. Lal Foods & Caterers Private Limited

If you go down Gali No-07 in Vill-Mamura, you’ll find us. We’ve been at this spot for quite some time now. K. Lal Foods & Caterers Private Limited isn’t located in a big industrial park or a mall; we’re right here in the village where we can see everything going on. The street is narrow, so we have to be careful when the supply trucks come in. It can get pretty chaotic on Saturday mornings when we’re prepping for three different events at once. The air in our kitchen is always thick with the smell of whatever is in the big degs that day. We don’t have a fancy reception area or people in suits. Most of the time, the owners are right there on the floor with everyone else, making sure the salt levels are okay. Mamura is a busy place, and being tucked away in Gali 7 gives us enough room to work without too many distractions from the main road. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years, but our kitchen has mostly stayed the same, just with more equipment as we got busier. It’s a lot of long hours standing over the heat, and sometimes we’re still cleaning up well past midnight. We just focus on the task at hand and try to make sure every order that leaves the gate is something we’re okay with. It is hard work, but it is what we know.
