Diwali sweets for the discerning palate
You cannot miss this list of unique mithai, chocolate, and patisserie ideas for the festive season
The festive season is upon us which means one thing: it’s time to indulge your sweet tooth and share the love with friends and family. Whether you’re looking for something sinful and artisanal or a treat that’s wholesome and natural, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of dessert makers crafting sweets that tick all the boxes, from fusion mithai to specialty chocolate.
1. Bombay Sweet Shop, Mumbai
• USP: Reimagined mithai and namkeen
• The Menu: Bombay Sweet shop is run by Hunger Inc, the good folks behind culinary hotspots The Bombay Canteen, O Pedro, and Veronica's. They have a vast menu of sweets, namkeens, and chocolate, all inspired by childhood favourites and infused with their signature touch of whimsy and unique flavours. Choose from Biscoff barfi and dark chocolate kaju katli or the crunchy-salty-sweet Bombay Bhel peanut chikki that is sprinkled with chakli, salli, sev, and more.
• Must-try: Bombay Sweet Shop’s hybrid candy bar (aptly named the Indie Bar) is a real standout and blends chocolate and mithai for a melt-in-your mouth creation that tastes like a combination of Twix, Bounty, and flaky soan papdi, in the best way.
Shop: Pan-India delivery available
2. Manam Chocolate, Hyderabad
• USP: Indian craft chocolate with signature infusions
• The Menu: Manam has changed the game for artisanal chocolate in India, with a keen focus on cacao fermentation and unique infusions to craft award-winning confections. Their bars range from white chocolate to 100% dark, so there’s something for every kind of chocolate lover. Their Diwali menu of “haute” chocolate creations includes raspberry chilli popcorn, roasted nuts coated with maple syrup and curry leaf, hazelnut and cherry dessert bars, and a collection of bonbons, truffles, and more.
• Must-try: To experience Manam's chocolate at its best, opt for the chocolate bars or “tablets.” The Diwali Tablet Library gift box has a 10-piece assortment with varying cacao percentages, from 67% dark to white as well as infused, malted, and oat mylk chocolate.
Shop: Pan-India delivery available
3. Vanilla Miel, Mumbai
• USP: Indian-inspired entremets, patisserie, and chocolates
• The Menu: For dessert lovers who want something more than your average mithai, Vanilla Miel in Mumbai won’t disappoint. They marry the best of both worlds, with artful pastries and cakes that are infused with the flavours of Indian mithai. This year’s specials include a gajar halwa, boondi, and rabri tartlet and a motichoor laddoo with a pistachio praline centre.
• Must-try: For a dessert with drama and elegance, definitely try the Thandurro: a thandai-churro fusion layer cake that comes with a bottle of thandai, to be poured over the cake just before serving.
Shop: Tea cakes, chocolate bars, cookies and bonbons ship pan-India; entremets and patisserie ship within Mumbai.
4. Patasa, Mumbai
• USP: Artisanal mithai, chocolates, and desserts; 100% eggless
• The Menu: Patasa specialises in traditional mithai with a modern twist, along with decadent chocolates, bonbons, cakes, and pastries. Everything is eggless, preservative and additive-free, and made with high-quality ingredients. Choose from their festive hampers, seasonal specials, or visit their cafe in Navi Mumbai for some rich gelato.
• Must-try: The artisanal mithai box inspired by flavours from around the world: Snickers, hazelnut, gulab, coconut-mango, and more. For a sleek gift, the nine-piece bonbon box is ideal.
Shop: Delivery in Mumbai & Navi Mumbai
5. Pistabarfi, Mumbai
• USP: Traditional mithai in retro-inspired, design-forward packaging
• The Menu: The founders of Pistabarfi took over their grandfather’s sweet shop during the pandemic and revamped it into a cloud kitchen to save it from shutting down. Today, they make the same traditional sweets using their grandfather’s authentic recipes. Their design and packaging are what make them stand out, with Gond artwork, old-school glass jars, and mithai wrapped in muslin cloth.
• Must-try: The Mithai Bar, Pistabarfi’s take on a chocolate bar. It’s kaju katli that has been reshaped as a rectangular bar for on-the-go indulgence.
Shop: Pan-India delivery available
6. Gur Chini, New Delhi
• USP: Luxury mithai that is naturally sweetened and refined sugar-free
• The Menu: Gur Chini’s mithais look almost too good to eat and the best part is they are all refined sugar-free. Everything is made using stevia, organic natural honey, Manuka honey, dates, jaggery, and dry fruits. Their mithai menu is extensive, with classics like kaju-pista roll and paan peda, as well as sugar-free options like walnut laddoo and Italian Brut pistachio laddoo. Their hampers come in beautiful boxes that are ideal for gifting.
• Must-try: For an all-natural treat, opt for their luxe stuffed Medjool dates that come in a circular box. If you’re looking for something maximal, the “Hot Pink” box with matthi, namakpara, and mithai is a safe bet.
Shop: Pan-India delivery available
7. Bhawan, Delhi-NCR
• USP: Handcrafted fusion Indian mithai
• The Menu: Bhawan in Delhi is known for their modern take on regional Indian cuisine and cocktails. Their Diwali hampers have been crafted with the same attention to detail and have a mix of sweet and savoury treats: think traditional mithai like motichoor laddoo and Mathura peda with contemporary mithai like sea salt milk cake and Nutella peda. For namkeen lovers, there’s the chilli cheese namakpara and chatpata pudina walnuts, available in limited-edition tins.
• Must-try: Health nuts should definitely try the popped amaranth, cranberry and jaggery laddoos. And from their specialty mithai list, the apple-cinnamon barfi and salted caramel Mathura peda are treats you won’t find anywhere else.
Shop: Delivery in NCR
8. Meethi Kahani, Pune
• USP: 100% vegan mithai; refined sugar-free
• The Menu: If you are looking for vegan options this festive season, they make all the traditional mithai you can think of but in a healthier vegan avatar. They also have a dedicated “protein & calcium” menu with flax seed, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed and ragi laddoos. Everything is dairy and gluten-free and suitable for special diets.
• Must-try: The rose peda, which tastes like a rich marzipan with a touch of rosewater, and the coconut paan laddoo that’s a burst of textures and flavours.
