Bombay Mirch Masala

We’ve been here at 38/4 on Haines Road for quite some time now. Shivaji Nagar is always busy, you know how it is with the traffic and people everywhere. Most days we just open up early and get things ready before the sun gets too hot. People come in looking for something specific, maybe some spices or a quick bite, and we do what we can. It is a small place, nothing fancy at all. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we spend most of our time in the back anyway. My brother and I started this because we needed something to do and we knew a bit about food. It’s loud out on the street with the horns honking and the buses passing by constantly. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming, especially on the weekends when everyone is out shopping for clothes or groceries. We don’t really have a big team, just a few of us who have lived in this part of town for years. You get to know the neighbors after a while. The guy at the hardware store nearby stops in sometimes for a chat. We just try to keep things moving and make sure the food is okay for whoever stops by. There isn’t a whole lot of story to tell besides that. We are just a regular shop on a regular road trying to get through the day like everyone else. If you are walking down Haines Road, you’ll see our sign, though it’s a bit faded now.
