Festive Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These: 7 Places To Order Artisanal Mithai From

We recently tried Misree from The House of Haldiram’s mini ghewars, and let us tell you, it took every inch of self-control in our body to stop hogging. The taste was incredible—exactly what you’d expect from Haldiram. The modern twist with various creamy toppings like mango, pistachio, hazelnut, and Biscoff only deepened our appreciation for artisanal sweets. The packaging was exceptionally opulent, making the ordering experience that much better, a 100% recommended for making your upcoming festivities sweeter.
