Bademiya: Mumbai's 79-Year-Old Kebab Landmark Born from Rs 20 and Guru's Blessing

Imagine a tiny food stall in Mumbai that started almost 80 years ago with just 20 rupees and a dream.

The man who started it, Mr. Yaseen Shaikh, was inspired by his religious teacher.

He made delicious kebabs, and soon, even important people like the governor loved them!

He even got a special permission to sell food even though he didn't have a regular shop.

His nickname was 'Bademiya,' and that's what everyone started calling his stall.

Over the years, the stall grew bigger and bigger.

They added more foods, opened nice places to sit and eat, and now, his grandchildren are running the business.

They even plan to open shops in other cities and countries!

It's a story about how a small beginning can become something famous and loved by many people for a long, long time.
