Kareems

Pune City 3 is where you can find us. It’s a bit of a mixed area with some shops and some houses. We’ve been running Kareems for a while now and it’s mostly just us doing the daily chores. We don't have a massive menu or anything like that. We just focus on a few things and try to do them okay. The kitchen area is small, so we have to be very organized or we end up bumping into each other. It gets smoky sometimes when the stove is going full blast. We have a few tables out front but they are usually full during the lunch hour. Most people just take their food to go. I handle the money and sometimes help with the serving when it gets really packed. The locals are good people and they don't mind waiting a bit if we are busy. We buy our ingredients from the market nearby every couple of days. I like to see the fresh produce before I buy it. It's a lot of hard work and the hours are long. We usually don't get home until late at night. Sometimes we forget to change the lightbulb or the door squeaks, but we fix it eventually. We aren't a big chain, just a local spot that people seem to like visiting. It is a simple setup but it gets the job done for the hungry folks in our part of town who want a quick meal.
