Well, we can go on and on, but when we asked our customers, they said:
"Freshly made desi wraps delivered in super quick time. That’s Faaso’s. We
haven’t spotted any beautiful waitresses there though,just so that you know what
to expect."
Faaso’s was born in Pune circa 2003 out of a late night
conversation (not dry, of course, and hence we didn’t remember the next morning
why we had called it Faaso’s). As you can see, we are lousy writers, our
pedigree in food was nothing better – we looked back 5 generations and did not
find anyone who had ever run a restaurant in our family tree.
Probably it helped, as we made just the stuff that we liked and kept it like
that all the while – fresh and desi kebab rolls/wraps. Today we have more than
30 different types of wraps flying off our shelves (read Tawa). No artificial
flavours, no artificial colors, no frozen stuff (we saved some money on
freezers), no cutting corners (we never learnt it). Everything freshly made to
your order, every thing hot. A typical order for a wrap at Faaso’s sounds like:
"A chicken tikka wrap with no onions, extra cheese, no mayo, double egg , medium
spicy, cut in half" – and you thought only cappuccinos are made to order.
We are now 40 outlet strong. Recently we ventured out to the crazy world of
Mumbai. But since we too are a bit crazy, Mumbai welcomed us with great warmth.
Now we spend most of our time on the expressway. See, we have started babbling
like always. Point of the matter is, you wonderful Puneites and Mumbaikars, we
remain ever thankful to you for loving us, forgiving our mistakes and in
general, giving us a chance."
