From a market stall to Woodridge.

Satinder usually works in the kitchen while Sarah greets customers, takes orders and runs the front counter. The trailer works because they run it together.

They are also raising twins and building Punjabi Bytes with their children’s future in mind.

Satinder remembers marinating chicken and cooking it over a wood fire on his family’s farm in Balon, India. That is where his love of charcoal cooking began.

He started working in restaurants in 2009 and spent more than a decade learning the pace, preparation and consistency needed to run a busy kitchen.

After moving from Melbourne to Queensland, Satinder and Sarah began trading from a small market stall. They later moved into the food trailer at 118 Compton Road in Woodridge.

The trailer gave them room to expand the menu and serve more people. Local customers have helped turn it into the business it is today.

Punjabi cooking is the heart of the menu. There are curries, tandoori dishes, loaded favourites and naan, with vegetarian and meat options.

Satinder and Sarah choose the dishes together and keep the menu practical for the trailer without losing the flavours they grew up with.

Their goal is to grow Punjabi Bytes into a restaurant and catering business while keeping the food and service personal.

They hope it can become something their children may one day choose to carry forward.
