We ordered a chicken biryani and mutton biryani. The portion of the rice was massive, but only includes a small part of meat…not exactly enough. The mutton was very tough and I ended up leaving half of it because it was not edible. The mutton biryani was also VERY oily. Like I took the box out of the bag and it was dripping with oil. The chicken one was fine. The only saving glory is the rice itself had good flavour. Not enough for me to return though.

I got Kaju Katli and Ghevar to give to my landlady in London and my British friends. Everybody was disappointed because the Kaju Katli and Ghevar were extremely sweet—no one could eat more than one or two bites. It was like eating pure sugar. Such a bad experience! I had always spoken highly of Indian sweets to my British friends, and this turned out to be a complete disaster.😭😭

Old is gold, famous for samosa since last several decades, now caters to number of sweets and chatpate items, small sitting for diners is also available, normally always crowded, quality of food is of very high standard and also the prices are bit on higher side. Good to visit if you are doing purchasing in burra bazar area

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in Kolkata. I wanted to take some sweets back to Bangalore, and after checking Google reviews, I decided to visit this Sweet shop. Based on the ratings, I expected good service, but it was completely disappointing. When I politely asked the staff to show some of their best sweets since I had to carry them back, their behaviour was extremely rude. The staff member simply said, “Whatever you see, everything is good,” without any interest in helping. I then requested a small piece for tasting, but they even charged me for that. This feels like they are just exploiting customers. I sincerely request the owner to train the staff to behave kindly and professionally. If anyone is planning to visit this shop, I strongly recommend not going.

Tewari Sweets is one of those rare places where the hype is actually deserved. The first thing that stands out is consistency—whether you visit on a busy festival evening or a random weekday, the taste, freshness, and presentation of the sweets remain reliable. The quality of ingredients is clearly superior; the ghee doesn’t taste artificial, the sugar level is balanced, and nothing feels overly processed or reheated. Their rasgulla, kaju barfi, and samosa are easily among the best in the area, and you can tell they put effort into maintaining traditional flavors rather than blindly experimenting. Service is surprisingly efficient for such a crowded shop. Staff members actually pay attention, respond quickly, and handle orders without unnecessary delay or confusion. You don’t have to beg for assistance, which unfortunately has become normal in many famous sweet shops. Packaging is neat, clean, and secure—ideal for gifting or traveling. The atmosphere isn’t luxurious, but it’s clean, organized, and well-maintained. Counters, trays, and display sections look hygienic, and the place doesn’t smell of stale oil like many sweet stores. They clearly take cleanliness seriously, which builds trust. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but at least you’re paying for real quality—not just branding. If someone wants cheap sweets, this isn’t the place, but if taste, purity, and hygiene matter, then it absolutely feels worth it. Overall, Tewari Sweets sets a benchmark—great taste, professional service, and dependable quality. It’s the kind of place you confidently recommend to others without worrying about embarrassment later.
