Maharaja Catering Service

Maharaja Catering Service is tucked away in 5 Mahavir Darshan Apartment. This is on Kala Mehta Sheri, right across from the Jain Temple in Sagrampura, near Manjura Gate. It is a very crowded neighborhood, especially on festival days when the temple is full of people. We’ve been operating from this apartment for a long time. It isn't a big flashy storefront. Usually, you’ll see us carrying crates of vegetables or big bags of rice up the stairs. It is honest work. The kitchen is almost always loud with the sound of chopping and the hiss of the gas stoves. We have a small team of guys who have been with us for years. They know exactly where everything is kept. Sometimes the traffic on the main road makes it hard for our delivery vans to get close, so we end up hauling everything by hand to the corner. We do all sorts of functions, but mostly it is just local families who know us. There isn't much time for sitting down when a big order is due. We just keep our heads down and get the cooking done. The smell of oil and spices is something that never really leaves your clothes. It is a bit of a messy business, but it keeps us busy every single day. We don't really do any advertising; people just walk in or call us.
