Shree Sadguru Krupa Ice Gola

We are over at Plot No. B-101 in the Vinayak Co-Operative Housing Society. It's right in the Gokul Township area on Agachi Road in Virar West. Being near the Oriental Bank means we get a lot of people stopping by while they are out doing their errands. We specialize in ice golas, which is a bit different from your standard ice cream shop. We have the big ice blocks delivered, and we use a manual machine to shave it down. It’s a lot of physical work, turning the handle and pressing the ice. The sound of the ice being crushed is something you can hear from down the street. We have rows of colorful syrup bottles on the shelf. My fingers are always stained with different colors by the time evening rolls around. It’s a small space, so most people just take their gola and stand outside the society gates. We have a few regulars who come every single day for the same flavor. It’s nice to have that kind of connection with the people in the township. We don't have a polished business plan or anything. We just make golas when people are hot. The drain in the back gets clogged with ice sometimes, and we have to clear it out. It’s just a normal, everyday shop run by people who live right here in the area. We always have plenty of ice ready for the school kids.
