Khawaja Carpet House

Khawaja Carpet House is tucked away at A-17/B in Okhla Vihar, which is part of the Jamia Nagar area. It’s a busy neighborhood with lots of narrow streets and people going about their business. Our shop is a bit of a maze because we have carpets stacked everywhere. We don’t have a lot of empty floor space to walk on. If you come in, you’ll probably have to step over a few rolls. We’ve been here for a good while, and most of the locals know where we are. It’s a family-style setup where we don’t stand on ceremony. We talk to people who come in, show them what we have, and spend a lot of time unrolling and rolling back rugs. It's heavy work and it keeps us fit. The lighting inside isn't always the best, so sometimes we have to take a carpet out to the doorway to see the real colors in the sunlight. We don't have a website that’s updated every day or anything fancy. Most of our work is done in person or over the phone. Okhla Vihar can be a bit chaotic with the traffic, but once you get inside our place, it’s just the smell of jute and wool. We handle things ourselves, from cleaning the floors to talking to the suppliers. It’s just a regular carpet house where we try to keep things moving and make sure the stacks don’t fall over.
