Shree Mithai — Restaurant in Zone 9 Teynampet

Shree Mithai made its name for its dairy products which continue to be excellent. Their freshly made chaats are tasty and prepared hygienically too. However, what many might not know is that their chaat supplies are outstanding too - bhel mix, the very thin sev (known as baarik sev), the chaat puri used for dahi paapdi chaat etc. The best part is that these are made from peanut oil and are sans vanaspati/dalda/hydrogenated oils - very rare, particularly in chaat puri. Also, they don't taste of old oil as so many do.

Another item that Mumbai purists might appreciate is that their paav is not sweet unlike most that are commercially available. I learned this from a Mumbai food aficionado, in fact, after which I spoke to the proprietor as well to confirm.

Aside from their kesar kaaju katli, their Bengali and milk sweets are particularly good. My recommendation would be their kesar kaaakand. Better than anything I have had elsewhere.

In terms of improvement, from the logistical standpoint, it can be intimidating for the first time customer to know the modus operandi of ordering. What it entails is merely finding one employee behind the counter to whom you place all your orders to. Be it food to eat in or stuff you are taking out.

They use compostible...

Iam writing this review to share a recent shocking, surprising and disappointing feedback about our one of the favourite shops till now. We have been buying sweets, chats and savouries from this renowned shop for so many years. Couple of days back we got Sangam barfi from Shree Mithai, Nungambakkam and when my kid was eating it he found a hair in the middle of the sweet and threw up immediately. It was disgusting to see this kind of hygine being maintained by such a famous shop. We have already raised a complaint to the Chetpet along with the photos taken of the sweet. What if my kid would have had without noticing the annoying hair ???? Is this the kind of pathetic food standards being maintained by Shree Mithai ??? I have also added the photos of the sweet to be checked...

One of the best places to have snacks with any age group. Though it's little costly but the taste and environment is worth. Especially the North Indian dishes are made perfectly. Dishes which can be preferred is samosa with spicy and sweet chutney, chola Puri and dahi puri. The kachoris are the best. The sweets are amazing. However the cutlets can be improved n served with sauce as in our table there was no sauce. Drinking water is available. Awesome place to go out with friends u can shout have your own fun no one will bother. It is a self service place. I went in nungambakam branch. The space is less Wen u go with a big gang of friends or family. The staffs are co operative. Overall a nice place to experience and can be visited...
