Sanjay Sweets Restaurant & Caterers

Sanjay Sweets Restaurant & Caterers has been part of Sardar Sabzi Mandi for years. Being near the Post Office in Meerut Cantt means there is always someone passing by. We started small, mostly just making sweets for the neighbors, and then we added the restaurant part. Catering takes up a lot of our time now, especially during wedding season in Meerut - 250001. It gets very hectic in the kitchen when we have a big order for a party. The shop at 42a is where we do most of the daily business. It smells like sugar and ghee most mornings. The sabzi mandi area is always crowded with trucks and vendors, so it's a noisy place to be. We handle everything ourselves, from picking the ingredients to packing the boxes. Sometimes we make mistakes with the timing, but we try to fix it. It is a family business, so my cousins and brothers are usually around helping out. We don't have fancy menus or decorations. The tables are basic and we just want people to have a decent meal or some sweets. Working in Meerut Cantt is interesting because you meet all sorts of people. We stay open late most nights because that's when the local crowd comes out after work. It’s hard work, standing all day and dealing with the heat from the stoves, but it’s what we do and we stay busy.
