Ratan Sweet & Dairy

Every morning starts very early for us at Ratan Sweet & Dairy in New Sangvi. We are located on the Main Road in Krushna Nagar, near where the glacier stock broking used to be. The first thing we do is get the milk deliveries sorted and start preparing the fresh sweets for the day. You can smell the sugar and the frying milk from the street. The shop is quite bright because of the big display cases we have in the front. We spend hours arranging the barfis and ladoos so they look decent for the morning crowd. It gets very busy during the festival times, but on a normal Tuesday, it is just a steady stream of people picking up milk or curd for their breakfast. We have a small staff and we all take turns behind the counter and in the kitchen at the back. The floor is tiled and we try to keep it scrubbed clean, but with so many people coming in and out, it is a constant job. New Sangvi is a lively area and we feel right in the heart of it here on the Main Road. Sometimes people stay for a quick snack, leaning against the counter while they talk about their day. We don't have fancy menus or anything like that. People just look at what we have made that day and tell us what they want. It is honest work and we like it.
