Shree Mahakali Farsan

If you find yourself on Brigade Road in Vadodara, you’ll likely pass by Shree Mahakali Farsan. We are right there where the traffic is always moving and there’s always someone walking past. It’s a loud spot, but we like the energy of it. Our day starts before the traffic picks up. We’ve got to get the savory snacks ready because people expect them to be fresh. The smell of frying usually fills the air around our bit of the road by 8 AM. We don’t have a lot of space, so we have to be organized. Everything has its place, from the big bags of gram flour to the containers of oil. Customers come in quickly and leave quickly. It’s a fast-paced kind of life here on Brigade Road. We don’t spend much time talking about what we do; we just do it. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, like when it rains and everyone crowds under our small awning, but we manage. We aren’t a big corporation or anything like that. It’s just us making farsan for the people who live and work around here. We’ve had the same regulars for years, and they know what to expect. There’s no need for anything extra. Just simple food in a busy part of town. That’s how Shree Mahakali Farsan has always worked and probably always will. It’s a lot of work, but we like it and the people who visit.
