Shree Siddhivinayak Sweet Farshan

Walk down M G Road in Borivali West and you'll probably smell the frying long before you see us. We are at Shop No 8 in the Duparc Trinity building, right on Plot 109. Shree Siddhivinayak Sweet Farshan has been our life for quite some time now. Every morning starts very early because the snacks need to be fresh before the morning rush hits. We make a lot of different sweets, and the farshan is usually what people come in for when they want something salty to go with their tea. It gets really crowded in here during the festivals, sometimes so much that we can barely move behind the counter. The shop isn't huge, but we make use of every inch of space we have. We keep the glass cases cleaned as much as possible, though the kids always leave fingerprints looking at the laddus. We aren't trying to be a five-star restaurant or anything. We just want to make stuff that tastes like it should. Our family works here, and sometimes we have a few extra hands when things get really busy. The neighborhood has seen shops come and go, but we’ve managed to stick around because people know what they're getting when they walk through the door. It’s a bit noisy with the traffic on M G Road, but that’s just part of life in Borivali. We’ll be here as long as people keep wanting sweets.
