Aga\u2019s restaurant isn\u2019t too familiar with the idea of down time.
It has more orders from Uber Eats than any other single location in the world, according to the food delivery company.
The Indian-Pakistani eatery sits in a Houston strip mall and doles out food en masse.
\u201cIt\u2019s a food factory,\u201d Aga\u2019s CEO Shaukat Maredia said in an interview that aired Oct. 23 on TODAY. \u201cWe do 2,500 to 3,000 pounds of chicken every day. We do about the same amount of goat. We do the same amount of lamb.\u201d
And butter?
\u201cOh my God! Thousands of pounds of butter per month. We go through tons,\u201d he said.
Maredia has engineered an impressive turnaround for the restaurant, which he and his family took over in 2010 with no prior restaurant experience. He said they struggled at first.
\u201cIt was depressing (to) be honest with you,\u201d he said while noting the eatery was \u201cvery close\u201d to failing.
Maredia and his family turned Aga\u2019s into a space with 750 seats before Covid helped its takeout business explode. Now, it\u2019s the most ordered single location on Uber Eats, with Maredia estimating the restaurant gets 1,400 to 1,500 orders per day during the week and more than 2,000 on weekends.
Making it all run seamless is a process. There are up to 100 employees working in two kitchens, one for prep and the other for assembly. There is a conveyor belt taking food from the kitchen to the counter where delivery drivers await.
Shirlenzia Williams is one of those drivers, earning about $100 a day from Aga\u2019s alone.
\u201cThey leave big tips for these ones. I guess the food is really good, and they\u2019re really quick, too,\u201d she said.
Maredia says the reason the restaurant \u2014 and, in particular, the lamb chops \u2014 has become so in demand is pretty simple.
\u201cIt\u2019s all about the quality of food. Every ingredient we use is top notch. So, the taste is always there, the freshness is always there. They get their order delivered within 15 minutes,\u201d he said.
\u201cIt\u2019s always piping hot,\u201d he added.
Maredia is also proud of how Aga\u2019s has taken off.
\u201cFor Indian-Pakistani restaurant to dominate the world, it speaks for itself,\u201d he said.
He also isn\u2019t taken aback by the response, \u201cbecause our quality is that great,\u201d he said.
