Indian Sweet Shop - Abbeydale Road

[brianthedog 10]

Does anyone know what the Indian sweet shop on Abbeydale Road is called? I drove past it today, and noticed it has a website, but I've completely forgotten it's name! It's in the unit in between the picture house, and Shah Supermarket. Pictured here, before the sweetshop opened...

Ayilah or similar?

[brianthedog 10]

It's definitely something similar; beginning with an A and with a Y in the middle. Tried loads of combinations and keep getting adverts for holidays in Turkey!

Could it be Alyan?

[brianthedog 10]

Bingo. Thanks Katya - now I just need to find the website!

 

EDIT - found it, http://www.alyansweets.com, if anyone's interested. Poor website though; wanted to know what they sold but guess I'll have to go down in person.

They do all sorts - I don't know anything about south Asian sweets, but they've got a huge display, and when I tried a few, they were very tasty! They also do a selection of savoury food.

Savoury is what I'm after! I noticed a banner listing all the foods. In particular, I'm looking for something called bakawadi which I've never managed to find in shops in Sheffield!

what you are looking for is bhakarwadi or bakarwadi. The tastiest one is made by Chitale bandhu mithaiwale in Pune, India. Unlikely you will get it in Sheffield, Leicester perhaps. I usually get my stock whenever anyone is coming over from India, that is all I ask for! Now you are making my mouth water!

I read this as SWEAT shop at first

 

Is Alyan pronounced-alien??

Ah, Pune. What memories. Confined to the hotel room, squirting bum gravy for about 4 days after that ill-advised potato salad in Goa. Oddly, the first thing we ate afterwards was a Picnic bar and it was heaven.

 

Had some lovely sweets in Port Blair though. Ooh, yes!
