Patel Sweets & Caterers

We are located on A K Road, specifically near the Santhi Hospital Road area, numbered 41337. Patel Sweets & Caterers is where we spend our whole day. It’s a dual kind of setup because we have the shop out front and then the catering part which takes up a lot of space in the back. When someone has a wedding or a big function, our kitchen turns into a very loud and busy place with lots of people chopping vegetables and boiling huge vats of food. It gets pretty chaotic, honestly. We don’t have fancy uniforms or a polished office; we’re usually just in our aprons trying to get the orders out on time. The shop side is a bit quieter, where people just drop in for a quick box of sweets or some snacks. Being near the hospital means we see a lot of people coming and going at all hours. We try to keep things simple and just focus on the cooking. Sometimes we make mistakes, like forgetting a small item in a big order, but we always try to fix it quickly. It’s a family-style operation where everyone chips in with whatever needs doing, whether it’s washing the big catering pots or sweeping the front step. We also have to keep an eye on the delivery van to make sure it's loaded up correctly for the morning runs. It’s just how we live and work here on A K Road.
