Balaji Mahesh Mithai Bhandar

Of the most scrumptious creations Bengalis have given the world, rasmalai is up there with Sushmita Sen and Prannoy Roy. And if you live in the general vicinity of Masab Tank, you won't need to make the trip to Madhuban Sweets - just drop into Balaji for your dose of roshogulla bosho meeta and other divine substances.

Apart from the Bengali sweets - of which the cham cham is also totally delish - Balaji's has very good kaju barfis. And some unusual sweets like Choco Kaju Barfi, rolled in chocolate sprinkles, and the Strawberry Barfi. Classic mithais like kaju anjeer roll, rajbhog and ajmeri kalakhand are very popular. And the prices range from Rs. 120 a kg for Bengali sweets to up to Rs. 350 for the richer mithais, like anjeer roll.

In all, a welcome break from all the 'pure ghee' sugar factories out there.
