Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the mithai, which they describe as fresh and tasty, with Rasmalai, Ras Gullay, kheer and lassi named alongside savoury Nimko and Namak paray. Veg samosas are also singled out as delicious and fresh. Close behind is the weekend desi breakfast, which one reviewer found not too spiced and returned to the following week. Several praise friendly, welcoming staff, and more than one mentions a longtime server who greets regulars with a warm smile. The complaints are serious but come from a minority. One reviewer who uses a wheelchair describes an entrance with no ramp and curt, dismissive staff. Another describes a younger male staff member who was grumpy and impatient while a mix box was being chosen, giving strange looks that left them feeling rushed. One reviewer reports food poisoning after eating sweets bought here, and says the shop refused to accept responsibility when they phoned. Regulars, by contrast, say they come back every weekend for breakfast.

“I would like to give a special mention to Uncle Wasim at Nirala Sweets. I regularly come for breakfast over the weekends, and every time, he welcomes and serves us with such warmth, respect, and humility. Uncle Wasim is always friendly, kind, and genuinely caring. His polite and respectful manner makes the breakfast experience even more enjoyable. He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure we are looked after and served with a smile. Thank you, Uncle Wasim, for your wonderful service and for always making us feel so welcome. You are truly a credit to Nirala Sweets, and your kindness and hospitality are very much appreciated! Bilal.”
