Ajwaah Sweets is one of the best spots for fresh mithai and desi snacks. Everything tastes authentic and full of flavor, especially the gulab jamun and barfi. The service is quick, and the staff is friendly. The shop is always clean and welcoming, making it a go-to for family gatherings or when you’re craving something sweet. Highly recommend if you want a true taste of desi tradition.

Ajwa Sweets Chicago is a paradise for anyone craving authentic Desi sweets and snacks! Their mithai is always fresh, rich in flavor, and perfectly balanced in sweetness.
Beyond sweets, their selection of savory snacks is equally impressive crispy samosas, flavorful chaat, and other traditional treats that remind you of home. The quality and authenticity of their food truly set them apart. I love their burgers (simple yet yummy). They have chicken tandoori pizza also which is very good.
The staff is friendly, the shop is clean, and the service is quick. If you’re in Chicago and looking for top-notch South Asian sweets and snacks, Ajwa Sweets is a must-visit!

I loved the marbled tables so much. But the sweets were below average. I had way better and fresher gulab Jamun. Maybe because I’m not native so I didn’t know what to order. But I was with my friends and we ordered more than seven items. All of them were disappointing.

Halwa Puri, not recommended at all. I had it today and got sick very badly. I complaint when I was inside the shop but they didn't take seriously. So much oil and chick peas were not soft. Puri were burned. Highly not recommended Halwa puri. Bath room was extremely dirty as well. More

Food: Overpriced, Little and not much, and mid. Takes so much time to make a bag of fries. Keeps changing all their popular foods
Service: Customer service is really bad. They complain about customers. When we want to call on the phone and inquire about something, they talk rudely. They have an attitude. They don't provide whatever is on the menu sometimes and things are not updated. For example, we wanted fries we would call, they would say to us (rudely) that they don't have fries. Atmosphere: Removed the water place. Less seats, if it's full you would have to stand or just walk out with your order. Overall, very rude to people.

Stopped by AJWAAH SWEETS for lunch last week. Grabbed a chicken tikka burger, samosa chaat, and mango lassi. The burger was decent—juicy but nothing to write home about. The chaat was tasty and refreshing, but the samosas were a bit limp. The lassi hit the spot, though. Service was quick, spot’s clean but felt kinda grab‑and‑go—not much seating. We spent around $20 total.
