Shree Ram Sweet Centre

Shree Ram Sweet Centre is at Vasant Kunj, in the Basant Arcade, Shop No. 24, B7. We have been here for quite some time now. Our day starts at four in the morning when the fresh milk is delivered in big cans. We spend hours standing over large iron pots, stirring the milk until it thickens for the sweets. It’s heavy work and the kitchen gets very hot, especially in the summer. By the time the shop opens, we are already tired, but then the customers start coming in. We make all the usual sweets like laddoos and barfis. We don’t use any big machines, mostly just our hands and a few simple tools. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be organized with how we display the trays in the glass cases. People come in for a quick snack or to buy boxes for weddings and festivals. We don't have a marketing department or fancy flyers. We just put the food out and hope people like what they see. Vasant Kunj has grown a lot, but our little shop stays pretty much the same. We have a few helpers who have been with us for years. Sometimes we make mistakes with the orders when it’s really crowded during Diwali, but we try to fix it quickly. We don't have a fancy mission statement. We just make sweets every day and try to keep the place clean. It is a lot of sugar and hard work.
