Satyam Sweets & Ice Cream Parlour

We are located at number 20 in Chakala. Satyam Sweets & Ice Cream Parlour is basically a two-part shop. One side has the traditional sweets we make, and the other side has the ice cream tubs. It’s a busy part of the city, so there’s always something happening outside the door. We aren’t a corporate chain; it’s just us running the place day to day. We spend a lot of time cleaning the glass cases because people are always leaning on them. The morning is usually for the sweet making, and then we spend the rest of the day serving whoever walks in. Chakala has a lot of office workers, so lunch hours and the time right after work are our busiest periods. We don’t have much room for people to hang around, so it’s usually a quick in-and-out kind of thing. Sometimes the ice cream freezer acts up when it’s too hot outside, which can be a real headache. We just try to keep things simple. We don’t use any fancy packaging or have a marketing person. If the sweets look good and the ice cream is cold, people seem happy enough. We’ve been in this exact spot for years, and the interior hasn't changed much. It’s functional and serves the purpose. We just keep our heads down and get the work done. The lights are usually on until late evening most days of the week.
