Afreen Juice

If you are walking down the Main Road in the Belbag area of Jabalpur, you’ll probably see us. Afreen Juice isn’t a big place, just a small shop in Galgala where we press fresh juice for anyone passing by. The traffic on the main road is always loud, and there’s a lot of dust from the street, but we try to keep our fruit clean and the counter wiped down. Most days it’s just us cutting up oranges or pomegranates and cleaning the machine. It gets very busy in the afternoons when the sun is hitting the pavement and everyone wants something cold to drink. We don’t have fancy menus or anything like that. We just have whatever fruit is good that season. Jabalpur can be a tough place to work when the humidity is high, but the juice helps everyone feel a bit better. We’ve been here for a while now, right in the middle of Galgala. People stop their bikes right on the road and shout for a glass of juice. It’s a bit chaotic, but that’s how this part of town is. We don't have much space for sitting, so most people just stand around and drink quickly before moving on. It’s just a simple juice stall, nothing more. We start early in the morning to get the fresh fruit from the market and stay open until the road gets quiet.
