Janta Dhanya Bhandar Oil Depot

You can find us at Plot No 106 near the Sitladevi Temple road in Andheri West. Janta Dhanya Bhandar Oil Depot is mostly about the essentials that every kitchen needs. We have big sacks of rice, wheat, and different pulses lined up against the walls. The smell of oil and grains is the first thing you notice when you walk in. It is heavy work, lifting bags and filling containers for people who bring their own bottles for oil. We use old scales that have been with us for years, and they still work just fine. The floor is often a bit dusty from the flour, but we try to sweep it twice a day. Being near the temple means there is always a lot of movement outside, with people walking by and cars honking. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us handling the weighing and the billing. It is not a supermarket where you wander around with a cart. You tell us what you need, and we get it for you. Some days are slow, especially when it rains hard, and we just sit and watch the water run down the street. Other times, it is a constant stream of regulars wanting their monthly rations. We don't do anything fancy with the packaging, just sturdy bags that won't break on the way home. It is a simple way to earn a living here in Andheri.
