The chai was quite delicious! All the sweets were fresh and yummy not too greasy. Loved the Jalebis. Rasmalai liquid part was too watery (I prefer if it is thicker and more flavorful with saffron and cardamom). Also it did not have any garnish like pistachios. Owner was friendly.
I came back with a friend to try their tea. This is a great small restaurant with a casual atmosphere (a bit divey). For the convenient location and delicious yum factor, I would definitely recommend this place for its samosas, mango lassi, and masala chai. I love the idea that you can easily grab a box of sweets for as low as $6 a pound to $8 a pound (depending on what you purchase). Note: They sell vegetarian meals solely, so those who are longing for meaty goodness might be disappointed. They have patties made of veggies and also aloo and paneer. I am thinking of bringing more vegetarians to this restaurant. Paintings cover the walls, and there is a family vibe. They have traditional Indian desserts: jalebi, milky desserts, and also honey cakes. The colors really pop when you peer into the glass windows, so that helped draw me in the first time I walked by. It is really close to the train station (Roosevelt Avenue).
A pretty affordable place. I got aloo gobi, chicken keema and rice for only $7. They offer many classic North Indian dishes and sweets. The food is authentic and delicious, although to me it could be a little spicier.
A complete no frills place with some of the best mithai in Jackson heights. We had like twenty lbs of mixed mithai ordered for several occasions, wedding, engagements, etc and each time it's been priced fairly and been super fresh and tasted great. Reliable sweets store that hasn't compromised their quality in the past few years. Jalebi, chum chum, ladoo and barfi are all really good!
It's a dive for sure but they might serve the best falooda in NY. Also tried some of their colored burfi today and it was very good. Need to come back and try their actual desi food.
This is an excellent restaurant. They have nice seating and waitresses. The food has just the right spices. You can use your credit card.. which is always a plus in this neighborhood if you don't have a lot of cash(many places don't accept credit.) They have a great breakfast.
It may look like the average Jackson Heights sweet shop, but the real food here is inexpensive, spicy, and delicious. Their chicken kabobs and chicken curry is amazing and the staff is wonderful.
We were walking down Jackson Heights and saw some girls eating kulfi ice cream, my sister was just talking wanting some kulfi ice-cream so we asked them where they got it from and they pointed in the direction of this place. Kulfi ice cream is a popular dessert in India, that is very sweet and creamier compared to regular ice cream. This sweets place serves more than just dessert, they have a pretty good selection of traditional Indian food at very reasonable prices. They also have a fairly large seating area in the back if you want to stay and eat. The lady working the counter was very friendly and welcoming to us when we walked in. We were pretty stuffed from our Indian buffet so we only ordered the kulfi ice cream, we got the pistachio and malai (cream) flavors. The price was also great at only $2 per ice cream. The rest of the sweets looked really tasty and it made me wish that I had more room in my stomach just so I could try it.
