Our Legacy
Three generations.
Three generations.
One unchanged recipe book.
It began in 1926, when Sulemanbhai — a young bakery assistant from Poona — opened a tiny sweet shop outside a mosque in Bombay. His son Abdul Gafoor Suleman Usman Mithaiwala guarded the family formulas through partition, prosperity and change.
Today the third generation carries that legacy across India and the GCC — twelve branches strong, but the same brass karahis, the same slow-cooked mawa, the same hands-on technique that made the name a household word.

The ones we’re famous for.
A handful of dishes have travelled with the brand for nearly a century. These are the must-try.
Mawa Jalebi
Crisp on the outside, dense and milky inside — soaked in fragrant cardamom-saffron syrup. Best within the hour.
Made fresh through the day
Malpua & Rabdi
Pillowy fried discs in chilled, reduced rabdi — a Bombay-style ritual every Eid, Diwali and feast night.
House classic
Dry Fruit Halwa
Walnut, fig and almond, simmered low with pure ghee until glossy. A winter favourite, available year-round.
Akhrot · Anjeer · Gajar · Dudhi
Seekh & Tikka
Char-grilled chicken malai tikka, mutton seekh kabab and paneer tikka — straight off the smouldering tandoor.
Tandoor specialities

★★★★★
The best way to conclude your food crawl down Mohammed Ali Road. Their Aflatoon is the stuff of Bombay legend.
★★★★★
A 100-year institution. Soft, glistening Gulab Jamun and a Firni that quietly steals the show.
★★★★★
Walked in for Aflatoon, walked out with three boxes for the office. The Mawa Jalebi is dangerous — I cannot recommend it enough.
★★★★★
Authentic taste, fresh every day. The Mutton Khichra on weekends is something to plan your week around.
★★★★★
Catered our Eid lunch for 80 people. Everyone — from teenagers to grandparents — left raving. Will book again.
★★★★★
The variety is staggering and the staff offer you samples to try. You leave knowing why this name has lasted a century.
