What started as a modest food stall on a Rawalpindi street has turned into something truly special. Mama’s Kitchen, lovingly run by a mother and her daughter Mishi, isn’t about food, it’s about family, struggle, and the joy of building something meaningful together.
The mother, often called “Aunty” by locals, is the heart of the kitchen. Her warm smile and no nonsense work ethic draw people in before the food even does. She began cooking on the roadside to support her family, turning her love for homemade food into a livelihood. Her daughter, Mishi, brought a whole new energy to the stall. She started showing their story online and people listened.
While Mishi is only physically present at the stall on weekends, she proudly calls this venture her own a way to earn with dignity, doing something meaningful and creative, her presence is felt every day through the content she creates, the community she’s built, and the inspiration she shares. Her personal motto, “Be a girl who lives by herself,” reflects not her independence, but her desire to uplift her family and prove that women can lead, create, and thrive.
Together with their younger brother who helps behind the scenes, this small but mighty family has made Mama’s Kitchen more than a food stall it’s a symbol of teamwork, love, and resilience.
