Kanaiya Pan Coldrinks

We are located at number 6 on Varachha Road, right in the Snehmudra Shopping Centre. It’s a busy little corner near Gayatri Society and Jawahar Chowk. Kanaiya Pan Coldrinks is usually a hub of activity, especially in the evenings when everyone is out for a walk. We spend our time mixing up pan and keeping the fridges stocked with cold drinks. The ice machine makes a lot of noise, but it’s a sound we like because it means things are working. The counter gets sticky sometimes from the syrups, so we are always wiping it down with an old cloth. It’s a small space, so things can get a bit crowded when a group of friends stops by all at once. We know a lot of the faces that come through the door because they’ve been coming here for years. We don't really have a set routine other than making sure the soda is cold and the betel leaves are fresh. The street outside is always loud with scooters and people talking, but that’s just Varachha Road for you. We keep a small stool behind the counter for when things slow down, but those moments are rare. It’s honest work and we enjoy being part of the local scene here at Jawahar Chowk. We don't try to be anything we aren't, just a place to get a pan and a drink. The nights can be long, but the crowd keeps us busy.
