We are of the firm belief that you don’t need to have a specific occasion to indulge in sweets. And why should you have a reason to binge on mithai, anyway? They are made to be savoured and devoured. With so many sweet shops around, it can be difficult to figure out which ones are the best! So, we took it upon ourselves to look for the best sweet shops in Mumbai, and this is the conclusive list that we came up with.

Brijwasi is the place to go when sweet cravings creep in. Besides a wide range of sweets, the stores also make snack items like Samosas that taste equally good. Sweet and savoury just go hand in hand, don’t they?

2. Jhama Sweets

I have been visiting Jhama Sweets for as long as I can remember. And if there’s one mithai of theirs that always stands out for me, it’s their Motichoor Laddoo. Made with ghee, they melt in your mouth, and they taste so good that you won’t be able to stop eating them. Believe me, I am guilty of downing half a kg of it by myself.

3. Tewari Bros
