Kiran Foods

Being located right on Doodh Bowli Road near Charminar means things are always loud. There is always a lot of traffic and people walking by our small door at 4/57. Kiran Foods isn't a big factory or anything like that. We just have a small space where we prepare everything every day. The smell of the food usually spills out onto the street, which I guess helps people find us among all the other shops in the Charminar area. We started this business because we live nearby and wanted to work for ourselves. The walls here need a new coat of paint, but we haven't had the time to stop and do it. We get our supplies early in the morning before the sun gets too hot. Dealing with the crowd near Charminar is just part of the job. Sometimes the delivery rickshaws get stuck in the narrow lane, and we have to carry the boxes ourselves. It’s hard work, and our hands are usually tired by the end of the day. We don't have a website or fancy brochures. People just come in because they know the name Kiran Foods from the neighborhood. We keep the counters clean, but the floor always gets dusty from the street outside. It’s just how it is in this part of town. We’ve been here for years and know most of the people who walk past our shop every morning. It's a hectic but good life.
