"On a commercial street in Jamaica, Queens, sits a tiny Indian and Pakistani sweets kitchen cooking up daily, made-to-order batches of exceptional mithai confections. Find golden motichoor laddoo made of chickpea besan pearls, a nutty and aromatic habshi halwa, a syrupy gulab jamun with rosewater essence, and the sweet cream-filled kheer mohan. Owner Tariq Hamid still has his grandfather’s mithai recipes handwritten in a box in the shop since launching their family business in 1973. Order 24 hours in advance for pickup." - John Tsung, Liza de Guia
