Hyderabad is bursting at the seams with iconic sweet shops that offer everything from Telugu pindi vantalu, mishti and iconic Hyderabadi sweet dishes. Whether you're stocking up your home for guests or are looking for gift packs for when you go visiting your friends and family, these iconic sweet shops in town are tried, tested and loved. 

Hameedi Confectioners & Co.

Want a taste of authentic Turkish sweets and that too a royal favourite? Then head to Hameedi Confectioners, a 105-year-old shop in Moazzamjahi Market and tuck into some interesting kinds of halwa. Its speciality dish, Jouzi Halwa (a dish made out of milk, saffron, ghee, nutmeg, sugar, dry fruits, and some secret spices from Afghanistan) was a favourite of the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad and continues to be the one-stop shop for Hyderabadi desserts like Ande ka Louz, Badam ki Jaali and many more dishes. 

Pulla Reddy Sweets

Pulla Reddy Sweets has been synonymous with Hyderabad for decades, and has been the go-to place for traditional ghee-based sweets. It started off as a small cart selling barfi in Kurnool in 1948 to now having several branches, even in the USA. When you're here, be sure to pick up their Milk Mysore Pak, Son Patti, Kaaju Paakam, and all varieties of Khova.

Tewari Brothers Mithaiwala

Whether you are looking for sweets or namkeen like pakora, dhokla, samosa, Tewari Brothers is where you must go. Located in Khairatabad, this sweet shop is popular for its kajur barfi. On Sundays, they also have specials like club kachori, jalebi, and you'll find people queuing up for them. 

Almond House

This 30+ year old store that makes the most decadent sweets and ice-cream. We love their almond bisticks, pista barfi, till chikki, ras malai and ofcouse, the kaju katli. You could also gorge on some amazing ice cream (which also has vegan options) or stuff your face with the Chaat from Gappe Vappe when you visit. We recommend the Pani Puri and Pav Bhaji fondue here. 

Delhi Mithaiwala

One can never have enough cham cham, rasgulla, and ras malai from Delhi Mithaiwala. This shop at Ameerpet is almost always crowded and you'll find sweet lovers taking home boxes of rasgulla and moong dal barfi. Several folks travel from different parts of Hyderabad to pick sweets from Delhi Mithaiwala for festive occasions, and that's a reason good enough to not miss out on this spot. 

Dadu's

Festivities in Hyderabad aren't complete without sweets from Dadu's. Their pretty corporate sweet boxes and gift packs are some of the most loved in Hyderabad. If you're planning to order more than 50 boxes, we recommend placing an order in advance (you might score a discount too). Their motichoor ladoos and samosas (with the sweet chutney) are to die for. 

Emerald Mithai Shop

Emerald Mithai Shop is known for their high quality organic dairy products including A2 ghee among several other bestsellers. Aside from authentic Telugu sweets, you could also pick up some Bengali favourites including sandesh, rasgulla, and raj bhog along with some savoury snacks. While they have a couple of branches across Hyderabad, we recommend their OG store at Lower Tank Bund. 

Olive Mithai Shop

Olive Mithai Shop is one of the best sweet shops around the Kukatpally—BHEL neighbourhoods offering super high quality pure ghee sweets, namkeen and chaat too. Don't miss trying their motichoor laddoo when you visit. They also have aesthetically packaged gift boxes ideal for gifting on special occasions. 

Jaggu Mithai

This 100+ year old spot near the Mahankali temple in Secunderabad is primarily known for its amazing chaat. They also serve freshly made sweets including Rabri-GhevarMalai Kalakand and several other melt-in-your-mouth varieties. Visit this iconic spot to gorge on the chaat and take home some sweets. 

Meethe Miya

From Sheer Korma to Qubani ka Meetha, this spot serves iconic desserts local to Hyderabad. Their Double ka Meetha and Lauki ki Kheer are must-trys too. You can pick up sweets here in single serve jars, ideal for gifting as well.
