About Anand Sweets

Anand Sweets is an Indian sweets shop on Harehills Rd in Leeds, set in a small, compact space with clean interiors on a main road. The menu runs from savory plates to sweets, with chana masala and bhatura, dhokla served as one plate of two pieces, samosa, dahi wada, and masala dosa alongside paneer paratha, bendi aloo, garlic naan, and pakoras. Gulab jamun arrives hot, paired with ice cream or cream, and chai is poured into a large glass mug, with mango lassi also on offer. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis at the counter, and waits can build during peak hours such as lunch. Takeaway orders, including bendi aloo, have on occasion come across as oilier than the same dishes eaten in.

Customer Review Summary

Gulab jamun with ice cream draws repeated praise, called "a must have" and "fresh and delicious," while chana masala with bhatura and the mango lassi also stand out to regulars. First time visitors highlight the pakoras and a tangy sweet and sour curry, and bhelpuri is described as crunchy and tasty. Oil recurs as the main complaint: bendi aloo arrives in a container reviewers call saturated with it, paneer paratha is joked about as artery clogging, and a veg momo order came back replaced with an oily paneer version instead. Dahi based dishes disappoint more than once, described as soggy with poor quality curd. One reviewer under new ownership reports a shrunken channa bhatora portion and a blander daal compared to previous visits, and prices are said to keep creeping up. Staff are mostly called courteous though overworked, though one reviewer describes a specific staff member treating several customers rudely during a visit.

    “The food and overall service were good, and most of the staff were polite, calm, and respectful. However, one new staff member named Simaran, who wears a head covering, was very rude and treated customers poorly. During my visit, I noticed that she behaved the same way toward several other customers as well. I was at the restaurant for about half an hour, and her attitude negatively affected the overall experience. I hope the management addresses this issue to ensure all customers are treated respectfully.”

    “It was my first and last ever visit to this place, been there to eat samosas which were average no great taste. Next thing surprised me alot which i ordered Dahi Ballai and it was only included Dahi and Ballai , no potato or anything else . Moreover, Ballai tastes like they are not freshly made. It was purely waste of money, not recommended.”

    “Harehills shop is compact and clean. Licated on busy main street, parking is easy to find in one of many small streets leading to neighbourhood area. Ordered masala dosa and chai to have in-store, with Bendi Aloo,paneer paratha and garlic naan rakeaway. Dosa and chai in store were lovely. Space was clean and efficient. 2 issues experienced : door to store not closed or heavy enough. With kept blowing and door would open, cold air blow in(not nice) Takeaway food: bendi aloo VERY oily. Takeaway container SATURATED with oil. Very unnecessary amount of oil. Please feedback to restaurant so less oil in cooking. My partner couldn't eat the dish because of this :( Overall, as a South Indian, Anand Sweets tastes like authentic Indianveg food. Could improve state of venue with better door( maybe seal better or put heavy decor on door) so its not easily pushed by wind. And less oil in food would be great”

    “We visited this place in Watford, United Kingdom a week ago for evening snacks and Tea. We had Bhelpuri, Samosa, GulabJamun and Chai. Bhelpuri was crunchy and tasty and Kala Gulabjamun was fresh and delicious. Samosa was hot but just Ok. Chai was much in quantity and served in a large glass mug and was just average but much welcoming for the cold. The place is small, cozy and easily accessible as it's located on the main road. Interiors are clean well maintained. Prices are very reasonable.”
