Sri Venkateshwara Sweetmeat Stall (original) — Local services in Bengaluru

SRI VENKATESHWARA SWEETMEAT STALL.

I visited a sweet chain which has 100 years of history near Balepet, Bangalore. The owners of the enterprise are very kind and explained the history of Sri Venkateshwara sweetmeat stall. Venkateshwara sweetmeat stall was started by the owner's great grandfather. According to the localites they have maintained the same taste throughout and that is because of the same old recipe and materials they use. Their speciality is their Mysore pak and the ghee used in it is customized according to their needs from the manufacturer. I was lucky enough to watch the making of their tasty Mysore pak.

The bright golden Mysore pak was served on a banana leaf, like a golden brick on a plate. I was told not to bite the Mysore pak, but just place it in my mouth and press it against your tongue as you can feel it melted away. The rich flavor of the ghee and cardamom was perfectly blended with a perfect sandy texture of the flour. The Mysore Pak was just addicting.

I also tried dumroot, a dish made with a huge wax gourd . These wax gourd weigh around 15 kg each. They are grated, boiled, sweetened and then baked in the oven for several hours. The first look at the dish was amazing, it had a brown outer layer, yellow inside layer and was garnished with cashews and raisins. My first bite was a festival of textures. The crunchy brown part of the dish just complimented the soft parts of the dumroot, giving it a texture of halwa. It was just perfect and not to forget the delightful flavour of their ghee Overall It was a wonderful experience.

MYSORE PAK...

Best in taste and typical mysore pak better than guru sweets who started the recipe

Known for their rich Mysore Pak and Dumrot, this 100-year-old sweet shop in Bangalore is a must-visit if you’re looking for regional sweet treats!

Although almost as iconic as the sweets they serve, Sri Venkateshwara Sweetmeat Stall’s store on Balepet Road looks unassuming. However, step in and you’ll be overwhelmed by the rich aroma and sight of sweets. Opened in 1954, the popular sweets shop is often the go-to option for regional sweets. However, what many might not know is that the brand originally started in Chikkaballapur, exactly a century ago! No, we aren’t kidding.

While the display counter is bound to make you want to try everything you see, we suggest you pick their Mysore Pak first. Laden with ghee and literally, melting in your mouth, their Mysore Pak is a hit among patrons as well. We aren’t surprised this is considered the best in the city. In fact, they claim to be the ‘King of Mysore Pak’!
