Dilpasand Sweets and Bakers

You can get almost any kind of dessert from here, cakes, sweets, ice cream and what not? The first place that comes to our mind when we think of mithai is Dilpasand sweets and bakers. They are making mithais since 1957.

Bhashani Sweets

It is love, bro! It is located at Burns Road, and I religiously eat their Kaju Barfi. I personally have an extra amount of affection towards kaju. Kaju is the best dry fruit ever and when it is transformed into a mithai… No one can stop their hands from eating for sure.

Rehmat e Shereen

This place is like heaven for the people who love “pure desi ghee wali mithai”.  Their Rasgullay and Sohan Halwa are very popular among customers.Rehmat-e-Shereen not only offers a vast variety of traditional sweets, but they also have other yummy delights like Rabri, Kulfi Falooda, and Kheer.

My personal favourite mithai is kaccha gola and if it is from Dacca Bakers, trust me I can have a dozen at one time. This confectionery shop is indeed a ‘paradise of sweets’. Situated in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Dacca Bakers and Sweets provides one of the best mithais in town.

Their kalakand is one of their bestselling items. Fresco Sweets has methai that will make you drool over them. No one can beat Fresco in their very special Kalakand ki mithai. Fresco is one of the oldest sweets’ shops in Karachi. The ras gullay and besan ke ladoo are heavenly. There is a lot of variety in the shop, available at all times.

 

Ambala Bakers and Sweets

In my opinion, their kaju halwa is the best item so far.  Ambala was founded in 1985 at PECHS, and their barfi has become the all-time favourite of their customers. They offer pleasing mithai that can be eaten at just about any time.

Baklava Palace

The one stop for best methai for any occasion. You get the best of the best Gulab Jamun, Ras gullay, kalakand, patisa and a variety of halwa, including Sohan and daal ka halwa.

They are provided with different awards and certificates for quality standard and taste. They are very famous for their halwa puri breakfast too. Dhamthal is one of the most popular choices of people to get their chum chum, Gulab Jamun, ras malai, halwa which is loved by the people of the city.

being a Karachitte, it is no more difficult now. Every single street has a shop with a variety of mouthwatering gourmet delicacies. Also, individuals like me, who have a sweet tooth, always find ways to satisfy their craving for something sugary and sweetened mithai dipped in exuding syrups.

So these were the 10 best sweet shops picked for you. The best part about mithai is that goes on every event and is very economical. Light on the pocket, but very full of flavours and sweetness is what mithai is all about.
