Moghul Sweet Shop

We came after dinner and there was no queue. The boss with an American accent was very friendly and helped us select the different types of sweets. Ended up with S$50 worth packed in 2 beautiful boxes. He even separated the dairy ones so we can keep inside the fridge. Top service! And yes, they were delicious. Saw a man illegal parked his Tesla just to grab something off the counter!

Moghul is a small, bustling shop offering some of the best traditional sweets in town. We tried their motichoor laddu, gulab jamun, kaju katli, barfi, and besan laddu—all incredibly fresh and delicious. Their aloo samosas are a must-try, easily the best in town, but they sell out by 3 PM, so get there early! The shop is quite congested with no seating—it’s more of a “shop and go” experience. You can also place bulk orders with them, which is perfect for events or celebrations. Online orders are available with a minimum of $50 and a $10 delivery fee, though online prices are slightly higher per piece than in-store. Fast service and great taste make this a favorite spot!

The shop is compact and bustling, exuding an old-school charm that adds to the authenticity of the experience. While it’s not a sit-down eatery, the friendly staff and inviting aroma make it an enjoyable stop. The variety is impressive—ranging from rich, syrupy gulab jamuns to delicate peda and burfis. Each sweet is crafted with care, offering the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The savory items, like samosas and kachoris, are fresh and flavorful, making it hard to leave without sampling both sweet and savory options. I would suggest to taste the sweet before you buy it. Also check your order before billing and leaving.

I had been buying sweets from Moghul for last 10 years ,they have not compromised on quality. Waiting time to buy sweets is between 1 to 2 hours during Diwali. Payment is by cash only and POSB and DBS bank counters are next to the shop only. I bought half kg Motichur laddoo, 3 half kg assorted types of sweet boxes and 3 samosas for gifting purposes for $90. Though they tried to organise queues during festive seasons but many people were trying to join the queue without taking the queue number and some tried to enter from the other side of the shop. As it rained ,they had difficulty managing queues as people were not cooperating. I pray that their business flourish and hopefully they move to a bigger space as I love Moghal sweet shop for it's quality stuff. Thank you and Happy Diwali to those who are celebrating.

Jalebi (SGD $2) @ Moghul Sweet Shop. . Established in June 1996 and said to be the first and oldest Indian mithai / sweet shop in Singapore, they're known for a vast variety of colourful dessert confectionaries, made daily with fresh cow's milk. . Their rendition is the largest and most intensely coloured, with a firm crunchy texture that melts slightly with a soft chew, carrying floral sour sweet spice flavour. . Only available for takeaway, as there's no seating at this kiosk.

If you are a diabetic, and want to mend your sugar addiction, please get these. They are very effective in kicking the habit. Quality of the sweets have fallen precipitously. The kaju katli is the size of a burger. To justify their high prices, they have made some sweets in unsightly sizes. Their packing is whole another mess. The wet sweets leak out and spoil the dry, and you get a poor quality plastic box for every type of sweet. The taste is also very average, and I had to throw away the rest, as a few bites were enough.

Went here for this traditional Ghevar sweet that is only available once a year! Delicious and satisfied the cravings, strongly recommend this and it would be better if this could be made with ghee instead.

Over-rated and over-priced. Well atleast that's my opinion. Taste, nothing to shout about, certainly not as authentic as I would expect it to be especially with their Premium pricing.

Housed in the almost a century old building known as Little India Arcade, lies an Indian dessert specialty shop. Moghul Sweet Shop sells many different Indian sweets and savouries and sure seemed popular. There was a long line of customers waiting to be attended to when we got there. Their samosas are nothing like the triangles you normally see. They're made with dough, not pastry skin and are huge. The takoras are pretty good. Ladoos, jelebi, halwa, rasgulla and other milk-based sweets are available too. The sugar content is so high, you'll get sick of them after just a few bites. Best to share the sweets and break down the calories.

Big Hype, Lesser Reality! When they get a chance take advantage of it at the earliest. I bought SAMOSAS, they gave the burnt ones while fresh ones were available :-( Bought Kaju Barfi in Deepawali and it was ordinary. A way better buy is Haldiram from Mustafa.
