Ramashraya Parcel Kitchen

This is a small setup we have on the ground floor of Krishna Nagri, Gala No 5/2. We are tucked away on Godrej Hill Road in the Khadakpada area of Kalyan. It is mostly a parcel kitchen, so we don't really have space for people to sit down and eat. Most of the action happens in the back where the stoves are. The kitchen is always full of steam and the sound of someone chopping something on a wooden board. Being near the circle in Khadakpada means we get plenty of delivery guys coming in and out all day long. Their bikes are always parked out front. We focus on getting the food packed up tight so it doesn't spill while they are riding over the bumps on the road. It is a fast-paced way to work. You have to keep track of all the tickets coming in from the phone and the apps. Sometimes it gets a bit chaotic when three orders come at once but we manage. My cousin helps me with the packing while I handle the cooking. We don't have any big signs or flashy lights. Just a door and a counter where the food goes out. Kalyan is growing fast and there are always new buildings going up around Godrej Hill Road. We just keep our heads down and keep the orders moving as fast as the fire allows. It is not glamorous but it keeps us busy from morning till night.
