Soda Stream & Rolls

Warje Naroda Road is always full of cars and people, and that is where you can find us at Soda Stream & Rolls. We have a small shop right on the edge of the road, catching everyone as they pass through. It gets really hot in the afternoons, so the soda machine usually stays running from the moment we open until we leave. We spend our mornings getting the fillings ready and making sure we have enough ice for the drinks. It is a very basic setup, nothing like the big restaurants you might see in the city. We just have our small space and we make it work the best we can. Some days the traffic is so loud that we can barely hear the customers, but we just keep at it. People pull over their bikes or cars just to get a quick roll and a cold drink before heading back into the traffic. The counter is usually covered in bits of paper or flour, but we try to keep it tidy as we go. It is just a couple of us here, making sure the fridge stays cold and the stove is hot. We have seen the neighborhood around Warje Naroda Road change a lot, but our little corner stays mostly the same. We don’t do much else besides keep the shop open and serve whoever comes in. It is a lot of waiting for the next rush, then moving fast once it starts.
