Good taste but much too expensive (one Chaat in small styrofoam container was $8.99!!)

I am a Bengali and no matter how far we are from Calcutta, we always long for those wonderful sweets back home... The closest to Calcutta style sweets that you can get in these parts, most of the sweets are pretty decent... But the real winners are the snacks... The Singara, Kochuri and the Vegetable chop are to die for and can give some of the top shops in Bengal a run for their money! Filling and insanely delicious! We keep going back for these!

I had Kachori chat here. It was decent enough. Not much oily and medium spicy. Worth to give a try!

My mom and I always stop by here when visiting the area for their delicious shingaras. By her standards, she couldn’t find such fresh vegetarian shingaras even in Bangladesh.

They have no idea about Rasmalai. We got some thing sweet and real hard Balls in a caramelized syrup. Real waste of money.

Very poor service, not friendly and do not expect any courtesy from the staff. I bought some padas from them and they tasted so horrible and they charged me premium amount of cash for these. I really do not understand how these places are in business by providing such low quality foods to their customers. This restaurant is highly priced and do not seem to provide value for the money.

This was our first time coming in but it was truly a total experience. The shop was attended by a very interesting co-owner who gave us a detailed explanation of all the choices.There are a wide range of traditional desserts on a spectrum of sweetness and cooking time to bring out the desired characteristics.The owner was fascinating too. An ex-business professor who spent 5 years teaching at American University in Cairo. He also spent time teaching in Africa and India before returning here to purchase this shop with his Indian wife.Come support local business and be blown away by the delicious food crafted with love.

Mithai is the place I bring my out of town friends for the delicious samosas and warm atmosphere. I can never manage to leave without buying a package of freshly made sweets. There isnt much room for sitting but thats ok right now. For those that can grab a seat its a nice atmosphere. Advice: bring your own reusable bags to carry your food/sweets back home. Yes they have bags but its nice to reduce waste.

Review №14

Ordered some café items and boxed sweets a couple of days ago, and the majority of it was really good! However, some of the khajuri sandesh were moldy, despite the box being sealed. I tried to call the store to let them know, but was spoken to a bit brusquely and promptly hung up upon, hence the review. Would order again, but maybe would stick to the café offerings instead of the mishti lol. Shingara was great though.Post-Response Edit: I think you may have me confused with someone else; I only called the store once. Regardless, Im glad you fixed your display case. As for the sandesh offer, thank you for your generosity, but I respectfully decline.

Review №15

Nice little place, good vegan options on sweets. Their savories/chats are not great. Kachori was VERY oily, Channa chat and cutlet were not great but good. Will buy again but will limit it to desserts

Review №16

We were looking for a place to have Fresh Indian Snacks and then landed up at this place. I really really loved the place. The owners were very friendly, it felt as if we are at our friends place. The food was fresh and yummy. We tried -- Veg Chop : It was fantastic and a must try- Mango Lassi : I will rate it 4.5/5- Masala Chai : It was decent- Bhelpuri : It was good too and can be customized as per your needs(sweet or spicy)- Sandesh : They prepare the sweets themselves and after eating the first bite only you will realise that this is the best Sandesh you can get in North Carolina. I will 100% recommend you to try it and other sweets

Review №17

Rude owner. Sits on the chair like he is the king, no respect. He thinks everyone in the area sells canned sweets. Did not like the rasmalai that I brought. None of my guests liked the it either. I will never go back there.Reply to the owner: Boss first of all spell my name correctly, first step to respecting a person.I gave a review because google suggested me to give one, you want the exact date I was there? It is October 10, 2020 - go check your sophisticated software.

Review №18

I have never met such a rude owner. I have been to the Mithai shop multiple times and every single time, the customer experience has been terrible. He is mean and does not try and understand the customers needs and wants. One time, when the owner opened the box of samosas to show us that he had packed a dozen, the samosas were all cracked. Anyone who has grown up eating samosas knows that samosas should not be cracked as that is a sign that the frying oil has seeped into the samosa. I pointed that out and kindly requested another, uncracked, box of samosas. He then proceeded to reply that it was my fault and I broke the samosas even though he opened the box.Most of the mithai is fine, but the customer service is really bad--both from the owner and the chef.

Delicious!!!!!! Ordered the vegan mathai tray-the boondi laddu and kaju kattri were so good!!! We also got the thali platter, and the vegetable chop was so yummy with the beets! The tamarind sauce was excellent. Craig was a great spirit to interact with, and was so sweet to my girls 😊

Review №22

This is a wonderful little shop full of amazing sweets and treats! There were so many fantastic looking options that we were a little overwhelmed, but Davina, the woman running the store, offered us full explanations of what every item was and explained what allergens were included in each, which was greatly appreciated as my girlfriend has celiac disease, and thankfully there were an enormous number of gluten free choices. We shared a pair of assorted treats and some great iced coffees, and enjoyed everything she had selected for us. While I dont live in the area, Id highly recommend anyone who does to stop by and try as many sweets as they can! The service was friendly and beyond courteous and everything tasted great! Theyre a little hidden in the plaza where theyre located, but its definitely worth seeking out.

Cute little eatery with vegan options. We had already had lunch si we opted for some Kaju Katari which is similar to fudge. Its made with cashews and sugar. No oil so it was a win for us. Very tasty. Will be back.

A pleasant and sweet surprise. If you have a weakness for authentic Bengali sweets Mitahi is the place to be. Don’t think you’ll find any better place in Durham/Raleigh area. Visited yesterday for the first time and got Khajoor Sandes (something my grandpa used to get when I was a kid) and freshly prepared Samosas or should I call Singhada. Loved it to the last bite!!

Great place to get Indian sweets. Owners are very particular about how the sweets are fresh and carefully made and great lengths are taken to make sure the pastries are made with whole ingredients and not just flavoring fillers.The cafe was nimble and had a great atmosphere. Kudos for Davina who was very hospitable and generous for me being new to the cafe.

Love love love this place! The chai is out of this world. LOVE the Indian sweets- especially the ones created with gluten-free and vegan options. Since Im partial to low sugar or sugar free options with my leaning to fitness, this is my go-to place for all occasions - birthday sweets, gifts and all festivals. The owner is very friendly, she makes you feel welcome as a family member than a customer.

I visited Mithai house with my wife after a cousin of mine recommended it to us. The owner, Daveena was cordial to us. She explained about the ingredients they use in each of the sweets that she let us taste. Almost all of the sweets we tasted were authentic, freshly made, very delicious. I got a glimpse of the kitchen which looked well kept and clean, and the utensils were arranged neatly. I would highly recommend this store to anyone who wants to buy sweets.

Review №57

This place is unique and authentic. This is basically as real as it can get. Devina and her husband to do a fantastic job with the sweets, the shop itself. Their heart’s in this and it is reflected in their desserts. If you want to savour real Indian (‘Bengali’) sweets this is by far the best shop I have come across here in the Triangle! I highly recommend them.

Worst Place in Cary. I recently came here on a Weekday thinking they served Authentic Mithai. The joke was on me. I caught first handed someone from the Restaurant pushing boxes of Mithai from Canada into the back of the store. - (Google Wont let me post the photo) What unethical business practice and you preach everything is fresh. I would not visit this place ever, the owner is also very condescending and will tell you that your a liar

Incredible desserts. The various types of sandesh make for a delightful sampling of different flavors while enjoying a nice cup of coffee or tea. My personal favorite was the Khajuri Sandesh. It has a soft sweetness and a rich undertone of molasses. You can tell the owner puts passion and care into everything they make.

If you havent been to Mithai Indian Cafe yet you are missing out! These sweets are truly unique and passionately crafted. I highly recommend the pista burfi, mild pedha, and the mango sandesh. I truly do not believe you could pick something bad out of these wonderful creations! Our last trip was very short to get some to go but next time we will be sure to try some of the other menu or at least enjoy chai with our sweets and enjoy the cafe awhile longer! All and all I hope everyone will be able to come here and try something truly spectacular!

This shop has been around a long time but I really only tried it 2 years ago. I’ve been a regular customer ever since!!! I was so pleasantly surprised that the sweets and chat are made in house (fresh, everyday!) and not to mention their deliciousness!! I’ve tried so many Indian places around the area and this place by far has the best/ freshest samosas and sandhesh. Love that they source ingredients locally as well! A definite must-try sweet/savory shop!P.S. please be sure to give yourself and Davina (the owner) few minutes to prepare your order especially chat, etc. You can see for yourself from where you’re sitting that she’s making your order fresh in the kitchen! Try the masala chai while you’re waiting!

Authentic Desi sweets and snacks with very welcoming owners who we talked for an hour over singara (AKA samosas), nimki and chai... All were made it to perfection... I was surprised to the quality of milk they use; they get their milk from local farm which is located closer to Charlotte (saw owner bringing milk if not delivered on time). Me and my wife definitely going to stop by in regular basis, as soon as our take home deserts finishes 😁😁
