Cafe Muskaan

Cafe Muskaan is located right near the Bhori Colony in the Marol Pipe Line area of Andheri East. If you know this part of the city, you know how busy it gets. There is always something happening on the street outside. The dust from the road and the constant noise of rickshaws is just part of our daily life here. We open up the shop and the first thing we usually do is wipe down the counters because of the soot from the traffic. It is a small place. We do not have much room for anything extra, so every inch of the cafe is used for something. The neighbors from Bhori Colony stop by sometimes, and we know most of them by name now. It is a very local vibe. We do not really bother with fancy decorations or anything like that. Most of the furniture has been here since we started, and it shows its age, but it is sturdy enough. Working in Andheri East means you are always in the middle of a rush. Even when it is supposed to be quiet, there is a hum from the pipeline area. We just keep things moving. We are not trying to be the most popular spot in town, just a place that stays open and does what it is supposed to do. Some days are longer than others, especially when the monsoon hits and the street gets messy, but we stay through it.
