A Leeds takeaway owner has spoken about the challenges of running a street-food business while raising kids and maintaining a marriage. While nursing her youngest, she couldn't fit inside her own trailer and had to shout orders to her staff from outside.
Rita Prasher, 38, is a mother-of-two, Aryan, six and Esha, three, and she currently runs an Indian-street food trailer with her husband Vik. Rita’s Indian Kitchen currently operates in Leeds Dock, the city and Kirkstall Abbey.
The business started out as Rita’s “side hustle which became my main hustle”, she left her previous 15-year career as a maths teacher to bring her traditional and adapted cuisine to the public’s hungry mouths. However, it wasn’t all plain sailing admits Rita.
