“I was in india punjab one of my friend from Chennai came to visit me in punjab. He bring some sweets from Chennai for our family. That's my 1st time when I taste this saravanaa bhavan sweets. After that i become fan of saravanaa bhavan sweets. But my nearest shop was in Delhi 350 km from my hometown. so I was not able to visit Delhi. But now I live in manchester and I got chance to visit london and I found that my favorite saravanaa bhavan is near where I live. i visited there i eat different foods and I eaten many sweets. and i bring many sweets for my friends too. i heard that thay will soon going to open one branch in manchester to. i m so happy when I heard this news.”
