About Jeevan Sweets
On Stapleton Rd in Bristol, Jeevan Sweets is a vegetarian Indian sweets shop and takeaway serving both counter orders and food prepared hot to order. The shelves hold barfi, jalebi, and kaju katli, alongside vegan sweets, while the savoury side runs to samosas, kachoris, and pakoras, plus bhel puri and dahi vada. Samosas can be pre-ordered by phone for collection, useful for picking up a batch without waiting at the counter. The shop runs on a walk-in basis with no chairs for customers waiting on an order, keeping it geared toward quick collection rather than sitting in. Everything is prepared vegetarian, with vegan options set apart on the shelf for those looking for them.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism is mixed. One reviewer found the bhel puri unbelievably spicy and too small a portion, and says they felt sick afterward. Another found the besan laddu, bread pakora and onion bhaji tasted very bad. One reviewer describes an elderly staff member touching her nose without washing her hands before handling sweets. A few note there is nowhere to sit while waiting for a takeaway order, as it can get busy.

“Great place for Indian vegetarian food: hot from the menu, lovely sweets (barfi or jelebi), and other delicatessen from the shelf. Sadly no chairs to sit down whilst you wait for your takeaway order, as it can get quite busy.”

“I visited about 15 minutes ago and bought a bhel puri and a dahi vada, paying £7.49 in total. The dahi vada was delicious, cost £2.50 and was definitely worth the price. Unfortunately, the bhel puri was a huge disappointment. The portion size was far too small for the price and it was unbelievably spicy. I had to drink two bottles of water and eat sweets afterward just to reduce the burning sensation. I even felt sick after eating it. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend the bhel puri, although the dahi vada was excellent.”

“This is by far the best place to order delicious samosas! You can pre order by phone and then arrange collection. Better than hot cakes and reasonably priced.”
