Brijwasi Gajak Bhandar

You can find Brijwasi Gajak Bhandar over at Dasna Gate, number 74. We specialize in gajak and other traditional snacks. It is a very specific kind of business. We have been at this location for years, and most people in the area know us by now. The shop is small and filled with the smell of jaggery and sesame. We do most of the work by hand. It’s a lot of pounding and mixing to get the texture right. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It is just the shop and the workspace in the back. Dasna Gate is a busy area, but our little corner stays focused on the craft. We aren't interested in making things look fancy with expensive packaging. We just want the taste to be right. Some seasons are busier than others, especially when the weather turns cold. That is when everyone wants gajak. We work long hours during the winter months to keep up with the demand. The rest of the year is a bit quieter, but we still keep things running. We don't use any big words to describe what we do. We just make gajak at 74 Dasna Gate. It is what our family has done, and we just continue it. It’s hard work, especially on the hands, but it’s what we know. People come from all over the city just for a small bag to take home.
