Asfee Masala Store

If you are looking for us, we are right on Mira Bhayandar Road. We’re directly across from the Ration Card Office, which is a good landmark because people are always going in and out of there. The shop is small and filled with bags and jars of different spices. We spend most of the day weighing things out for customers who live around Mira Road. It’s a busy street, so there is constant traffic and horns honking outside. Inside, it’s a bit quieter but it stays cramped with all the stock we have to keep. We get a lot of people stopping by after they finish their business at the government office across the way. I usually spend my time refilling the bins and making sure nothing is getting stale. It’s a simple business. We don’t do any fancy marketing or have a big website. People just know we are here and they come when they need some cumin or coriander. Sometimes the rain comes down hard on Mira Road and we have to pull the shutters halfway to keep the water out. The shop smells like a mix of everything, which I don’t even notice anymore. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of the regulars by name. It’s just a normal part of the neighborhood. We stay open until late evening most days. It’s a lot of work but it keeps us going.
