Shai Laxmi Kichen Centre

Shai Laxmi Kichen Centre is situated in Ashok Vihar. It is a straightforward shop where we keep a lot of kitchen items piled up. You can find things like heavy pots, pans, and different types of stoves. We have been in this part of Ashok Vihar for quite a while. The shop is often crowded with stock because we try to have whatever a home cook might need on short notice. It is mostly a family-run operation. We spend our time dusting the shelves and helping people find the right size of container or a replacement part for their mixer. There is no air conditioning, so it gets pretty warm in the summer months, but we are used to it by now. We do some repair work in the back corner, mostly fixing pressure cookers that have stopped working right. You will hear the sound of metal clinking all day long. We don't spend money on fancy lights or decorations. We just want the shop to be useful for the local families. Some days are very quiet and we just sit and talk to the regulars who walk by. Other days, like before a big holiday, it gets very hectic and we barely have time to eat. We just keep going, day after day, keeping the shelves stocked with stainless steel and aluminum. We try to keep things organized but with so many small parts, it gets messy fast.
