As a candy enthusiast, I’ve always found joy in exploring local sweet spots, and my recent visit to Sweety Sweets in Ring Road Parklands did not disappoint. Established in 1989, this hidden gem specializes in traditional Indian confectionery and sweets that have lured me back to its welcoming ambiance more than once.
During my visit at around 3 PM on a bright Saturday afternoon, I was greeted by the aroma of freshly made treats that filled the air. The decor was vibrant, with an inviting atmosphere that made it impossible to resist stepping inside. I was thrilled to learn that Sweety Sweets is renowned for its wide variety of Indian sweets and savory snacks; however, I had my eyes set on the classics.
Initially, I picked up a box of Gulab Jamun for KSh 600. The moment I took my first bite, I was enveloped in the rich flavors of deep-fried dough soaked in sugary syrup. Each ball was perfectly soft and melted in my mouth, proving why these sweets are a staple at any celebration. The chef’s skill was evident; even the syrup was infused with hints of cardamom that truly elevated the experience.
Next, I couldn’t resist trying their Jalebi, which cost me KSh 300. These golden, spiral-shaped treats boasted a crispy outer layer with a juicy, sweet center. I took my first bite while conversing with a delightful attendant named Aishwarya, who enthusiastically described how they prepare each batch with love and care—her passion for the sweets was infectious. She even recommended pairing the Jalebi with a cup of hot tea, and I am grateful for her suggestion as it complemented the sweetness beautifully.
For my final indulgence, I decided to grab some Samosas at KSh 200. These golden pastry pockets were filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and aromatic herbs, making for an ideal savory snack. The flaky texture and perfect crunch added another layer to the delightful experience. Each bite brought another wave of flavor that made it hard for me to stop eating!
Overall, my experience at Sweety Sweets was nothing short of delightful. The combination of low prices and high-quality sweets truly sets this place apart. Whether you are craving sweet or savory, this spot has something for everyone. From the moment I walked in till I finished feasting on my sweet selections, the staff made me feel truly welcome.
