Apni Rasoi Dwaraka

Being over here in Dwarka Sector 12, specifically at Plot No 1 in MLU Pocket 6, means we stay pretty busy. This part of Dwarka has a lot of families and people working in offices nearby. At Apni Rasoi, the day starts before the sun is even fully up. We have to get the stoves going and make sure the kitchen is ready for the first orders. It’s a lot of work getting everything prepped. The space in MLU Pocket 6 is decent, but when the lunch hour hits, it feels much smaller than it is. We have delivery bikes coming and going all the time. You can hear them pulling up and taking off on the street outside. Inside, it's mostly the sound of the exhaust fan and the clinking of metal ladles against pots. We don't have any fancy decorations on the walls. It’s mostly just practical stuff we need for cooking and serving. Some days are harder than others, like when it’s raining and everyone wants food at the exact same time. We just try to keep up and keep things moving. The staff is mostly just a few of us who have been working together for a while now. We know how to get around each other in the tight kitchen space without bumping into things. It’s just a regular local kitchen where we do our work and go home. We have been at this Sector 12 spot for a while now.
