Surati Farsan
Surati Farsan Mart can feel a little chaotic when you first walk in. It’s always packed with people drinking tea and eating chaat, which means you’ll probably have to wait in a long line and fight for a table. But the South Indian sweets and snacks here make the whole experience worth it. They serve hot, spiral-shaped jalebi coated in bright orange sugar syrup, saffron-dusted spheres of deep-fried ladoo, and our favorite pan puri in town. When you finally reach the counter, they’ll price everything by the pound. We usually get a tray of Indian street food to eat on the sidewalk patio and a gift box full of chocolate rose coconut rolls to take home.
