Shri Ram Khiladi Halwai

If you walk through Sitaram Bazar in Delhi, you will eventually find us. Shri Ram Khiladi Halwai is located at 3193, near Lal Darwaja. Specifically, we are in the lane they call School Wali Gali. Being in the 110006 area means we are right in the heart of old Delhi’s busy streets. It is very crowded here most of the time. We are halwais, so our day revolves around the large kadhais and the smell of sweets being made. The school nearby means there are always kids and parents passing by the shop. It is a very old-fashioned way of doing business. We don't have fancy signs or a big glass storefront. It is just the shop in the gali where we have been for a long time. The street is narrow, and sometimes it is hard to move around when deliveries come in. We start very early in the morning to get the first batches of sweets ready. By the time the sun is up, the stoves are already hot. People in Sitaram Bazar know us just as the local halwai. We don't use any modern machines for everything; a lot of it is still done by hand like it always was. It is a hot and tiring job, but it is what we do. Lal Darwaja is a landmark that helps people find this specific gali. We just focus on our daily production and serving the locals who stop by for something sweet.
