Pakistani Catering in Los Angeles

Paratta

Coming July 2018. Paratta nourishes both desi food lovers and those unknown to desi street food culture with the khalis (/k·haw·lis/ adjective: pure) taste and exotic aura of the South Asian subcontinent. Our name comes from the flaky, buttery paratha (/puh·raw·tuh/ noun: flatbread) that we use to wrap all our rolls. It’s a staple side in Indian subcontinent cooking, regardless whether you spell it paratha (Hindi/Urdu), parontay (Punjabi) or porota (Bengali). We provide our fellow desi food lovers with traditional kabab rolls, pairing them with chatpata (/chutt·putt·tuh/ adjective: combination of spicy, sour and sweet flavors) sides and wholesome drinks. Aside from nearly a thousand years of proven recipes, Paratta only uses the freshest of ingredients and live grill our kabobs. We pride ourselves in where the food is from and how it gets raised, and that’s why we only use halal-certified meat. Food is both important to Paratta and to those who are desi (/des·ee/ adjective, noun: “one from our country,” usually refers to people from India, Pakistan or Bangladesh). Color is also a cultural backbone. From spices to desi clothing to artwork, everything in the subcontinent is full of color. In fact, truck drivers in the region, who transport everything imaginable to every corner of their country, often paint their own trucks in vibrant, colorful patterns and designs. They often cover their trucks with animals, geometric shapes and shairi (/shy·ree/ noun: poetic verses) written in Urdu or Hindi script. The imagery reminds them of the homes they’re often away from for months at a time. Paratta too will serve as a reminder of our culture and will also bring that culture to you. Paratta is our attempt to combine the two staples of desi culture into one. We call Los Angeles our home and are based in DTLA, but we serve the entire metro area of LA and Orange County. From a glass of cardamom chai and paratha to start the day to a thick lassi to get through the afternoon. None of it can be done without sharing the goodness with close friends and family. Locate us today, keep an eye out for us at a festival or reserve us to cater your next event or wedding. Get immersed in the color and tastes of the subcontinent with Los Angeles' halal desi paratha roll food truck.
