The Secret’s Out: What Really Makes Anmol Sweets So Special?

Have you ever taken a bite of a sweet that instantly transports you? A single piece of Barfi that reminds you of a festival back home, or a warm Gulab Jamun that feels like a hug in a bowl?

Here at Anmol Sweets & Restaurant, we see that look on our customers’ faces every day. It’s a look of pure joy, of nostalgia, of finding a genuine taste of home right here in Stockholm. People often ask us, “What’s your secret? Why does your mithai taste so different, so… real?”

Well, we think it’s time to share. The truth is, there isn’t just one secret. It’s a combination of a few very important promises we made to ourselves, and to you, when we first opened our doors.

Made with Love, Every Single Day (No Exceptions!)

Take a peek into our kitchen on any given morning, and you won’t see machines churning out sweets from a packet mix. You’ll see our master sweet makers (Halwais) crafting everything by hand. This is a promise we will never break: we make our sweets fresh, every single day.

That perfectly coiled, crispy-yet-syrupy Jalebi you’re enjoying? It was likely fried just hours ago. The delicate, melt-in-your-mouth Rasmalai? It was prepared this morning to ensure the paneer is perfectly soft. This dedication to freshness is what has helped us become one of the biggest and most trusted sellers of authentic sweets in all of Sweden. You’re not buying something that’s been sitting on a shelf; you’re buying a piece of culinary art, fresh from the artist’s kitchen.

It All Starts at the Source: A Journey for Flavour

You can’t create extraordinary sweets with ordinary ingredients. It’s that simple. While others might look for the cheapest option, we look for the best. Our journey for flavour begins thousands of kilometers away, in the fields and markets of India and Pakistan.

We source rich, creamy cashews for our famous Kaju Katli, pure, fragrant saffron for our desserts, and the highest quality gram flour (besan) for our ladoos. We believe in using real, pure ghee (clarified butter), not substitutes, because it provides that unmistakable rich, nutty aroma that is the soul of good mithai. This commitment means every bite is bursting with authentic, uncompromised flavour.

A Tour Through Our Sweet Counter: Meet the Stars

While we love all our sweets, some have a special place in our customers’ hearts.

Gulab Jamun: Our undisputed champion! Soft, spongy milk-solid balls, deep-fried to a perfect golden-brown and soaked in a fragrant, light sugar syrup.

Kaju Katli: The definition of elegance. A smooth, diamond-shaped cashew fudge that is delicately sweet and melts in your mouth.

Barfi: A classic milk-based fudge that comes in many varieties, from plain to pistachio and almond. It’s dense, creamy, and utterly satisfying.
Chum Chum & Rasmalai: These are for the true connoisseurs of Bengali sweets—delicate, spongy, and soaked in sweet, creamy milk.
Gujiya: Come festival time, especially for Holi and Diwali, our kitchen is filled with the aroma of these sweet dumplings, stuffed with a mixture of sweetened khoya (milk solids) and dried fruits. They’re a taste of pure celebration!

You’re More Than a Customer; You’re Part of the Anmol Family

The final secret isn’t an ingredient or a recipe—it’s you. From the moment you walk into our shop at Fagerstagatan 13 in Spånga, we want you to feel welcome. Whether you’re a student missing home, a Swedish local trying mithai for the first time, or a family picking up a box of sweets for a celebration, our team is here to help. Our excellent customer service comes from the heart. We love helping you choose the perfect selection, explaining what each sweet is, and sharing in the joy that these little treats bring.

Because at the end of the day, Anmol is more than just a sweet shop. It’s a place where traditions are honoured, where quality is everything, and where everyone can find an affordable taste of home. And that, we believe, is what makes us truly special.
