Anupam Caterers & Decorators

You can find us over at Jia Sarai, Hauz Khas, at house number 10. We’ve been running Anupam Caterers & Decorators from this location for quite some time. It’s a very busy area, so things are always a bit hectic around the office. We handle both the catering and the decorations, which means one day we’re dealing with flower arrangements and the next we’re worried about how many kilos of rice to buy. The office is usually cluttered with samples of fabric and menu cards. It’s a family-run operation, so there’s always someone around, usually talking loudly on the phone or checking a list. We don't have a fancy reception area; people just come in and sit down wherever there’s a free chair. The kitchen we use isn't far away, so there’s a constant back-and-forth of staff. We’ve done all kinds of events, from small house parties to bigger gatherings in the neighborhood. We don’t use any polished sales pitches. We just tell people what we can do and what it will cost. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until late at night. The area around Hauz Khas is always changing, but we’ve managed to stay right here in Jia Sarai. We keep a lot of extra napkins and tablecloths in the back room just in case something goes wrong at the last minute. It's not a perfect system, but it's how we've always done things.
