Vishal Pan Bhandar & Chicken Center

Our shop has a bit of a strange name because we do two different things here on Juhu Tara Road in Manimajra. At S 2238&19, we have the pan side of things and then the chicken center. It makes for a busy day because you are dealing with very different types of customers. One minute you are folding a leaf with lime and betel nut, and the next you are handling the meat orders. The smells are definitely mixed, with the sweet scent of the pan fillings and the savory smell of the chicken. We have lived in this area for a long time and know the streets of Manimajra well. The shop is small and can get crowded quickly if more than three people are standing inside. We have to keep things very separate to make sure it stays clean. The counter for the pan is right at the front so people can just reach out from their scooters. In the back, we have the space for the chicken prep. It is a lot of work to manage both sides, and we are usually tired by the time we close the shutters at night. The sidewalk outside is often uneven, so people have to watch their step. We don't have a big staff, just family mostly, helping out wherever it is needed throughout the day. We just try to get the orders right and keep everyone moving along the road.
