Zaverivad Farsan House

If you’re looking for Zaverivad Farsan House, we’re at 3, Nandan Complex. It’s right by the Mithakhali Railway Crossing, just behind Natraj Cinema. You can usually smell the frying from a bit away. We spend most of our day making different types of snacks. It’s hot work, standing over those big vats of oil, especially in the summer. We’ve been in Mithakhali for a long time. The railway crossing can be annoying when the gate is down, but it brings a lot of people past our shop while they wait. We don’t have a big fancy storefront. It’s just a practical space where we make the food and sell it fresh. Sometimes the line gets long in the mornings when people are heading to work. We try to keep up, but good farsan takes time to fry properly. My family has been doing this for a while. We don’t really use fancy machines; a lot of it is still done by hand because that’s how we learned it. The kitchen is always busy from five in the morning. By the time the cinema next door opens for the first show, we’ve already finished half our work for the day. It’s a simple life, just making sure the salt and spices are right every single time. People seem to like what we do, so we just keep doing it and staying busy with the daily orders.
