Shree Tirupathi Balaji Bhandi Bhandar Catering

Our business, Shree Tirupathi Balaji Bhandi Bhandar Catering, is tucked away in Jogeshwari West. We operate out of Shop Number 109/110 in the 1st Stage of Binnamangala Hutting Colony. It is near the Godavari Bai area, which is a very crowded and lively part of the district. We deal with two main things: renting out large cooking utensils and providing catering for various events. The "bhandi" part of our name refers to the big metal pots and pans that are stacked high in our shop. They are heavy and take a lot of work to keep clean and organized. When we have a catering order, the kitchen gets incredibly busy and hot. We might be preparing food for a hundred people or more, so everyone has to work fast. We are a local setup, not some big corporate food chain. We don't have a website or a marketing department. Most people find us because they live in the colony or heard about us from a neighbor. The streets around here are narrow, which makes loading the big trucks a real challenge sometimes. We often start our work while the rest of the city is still sleeping. It’s a lot of physical labor, from scrubbing the big pots to chopping vegetables for hours. We just focus on making sure the food is cooked through and the plates are ready on time. It is a tough way to make a living, but we’ve been doing it for years.
