Aggarwal Sweet Corner & Caterers

Shop A 12 in Acharya Niketan is where we spend most of our day. We start very early in the morning, usually before the sun is even up. The smell of frying starts around 7 AM. People in Mayur Vihar Phase I know the spot quite well. We’ve got the glass counters filled with whatever sweets or snacks were made fresh that morning. Sometimes the floor gets a bit sticky because of the sugar syrup used for the sweets, but we mop it whenever we get a break. We also do catering for small parties in the neighborhood. Usually, it's just local families asking for a few platters for a birthday or a small gathering. We have a couple of big iron kadhais in the back that have been with us for years. My uncle started this place and now we just keep it running. It’s a very busy corner. You’ll see people standing outside eating snacks even when it’s hot outside. We don’t have much seating, just a few high tables where you can stand. The fans run all day but it still gets quite warm near the stoves. We use traditional ways of cooking that haven't changed much. If we run out of something, we just wait until the next batch is ready. It's a simple operation. We know many customers by name since they’ve been coming here for years. We just focus on getting the food out to the people.
