Jyoti Decorators & Caterers

Our kitchen and storage are located at New Bhupalpura 5A. Most mornings start with the smell of spices being ground or large pots of water being put on to boil. Jyoti Decorators & Caterers is a family-run thing, so there is always someone arguing about where the napkins went or how much salt to put in the dal. We have a lot of stuff stored here, from big cooking vessels to rolls of decorative cloth. New Bhupalpura is a quiet area mostly, but we make a bit of noise when we are loading the vans for a big party. It’s a lot of coordination. We have to make sure the food is ready and the decorations are up before the guests arrive. We don't use fancy titles for anyone here. Everyone just rolls up their sleeves and does what needs doing. Sometimes we are decorators, sometimes we are servers. The floor at 5A is usually a bit slippery from all the washing up we do. We’ve had some long nights where we don't get back until three in the morning. Then we sleep for a few hours and start all over again. It’s a tired kind of life but it’s what we know. We just focus on getting the food cooked and making the place look decent for whoever hired us. No big secrets to it, just a lot of cooking and carrying things back and forth.
