Poonam Bhel House

You can find Poonam Bhel House at Vishnukamal Complex on Kelkar Road. The area code is 41307 if you’re looking it up. Vadgoensheri is a lively place to be. Our shop is inside the complex, so you have to walk in a bit. It’s not right on the street front. We spend a lot of time chopping onions and chilies. It’s a lot of prep work before we even open the doors. The puffed rice comes in big bags that take up half the storage room. We try to keep things organized but it gets messy when we’re busy. Kelkar Road is always full of people. We get a lot of office workers in the evenings. They’re usually in a hurry. We try to mix the bhel as fast as we can. Sometimes we get the spice level wrong if we’re rushing, but we try to fix it. Vishnukamal Complex is an okay building, though the lights in the hallway flicker sometimes. We’ve told the manager but nothing changes. That’s just how it is. We’ve been at this for several years. Poonam Bhel House isn't anything special to look at. Just some steel bowls and jars of chutneys. But it’s our living. We like the people in Vadgoensheri. Most of them are friendly. We stay open until the last customer leaves, which is usually late. Then we clean up and do it again.
