Moghul Sweet Shop

Traditional Indian sweets. Delicious but comes with a price of over sweetness. Although the prices are cheap and the ingredients for each piece of sweet are solid, it’s difficult to tell their differences as 90% of flavors are covered by sweetness. I am a Chinese so that’s all I can say as a foreigner tasting it for the first time, but still I believe there are a lot of underlying stories and theories under these simple sweets that I don’t know. Anyway, definitely worth trying👍

Kind of disappointed with first Deepavali purchase experience. A box of half kg is $30 while a 1kg is $60. Got them to choose a mix of sweets as it would be too tedious and time consuming to pick 5 boxes of half kg and 1 box of 1kg myself while there’s a queue behind me. I got all burfis for the first box and only got some ladoos after I intervened. And it seems more worth to get 2 boxes of half kgs instead of a 1kg since none of the boxes are weighed and the number of sweets for each boxes are based on their gut feel. My 1 kg box as pictured ($60!). I would likely stick to my usual Komala’s after this as they kept to $1.50-$2 per sweet even during Deepavali and I can choose them nicely though the variety of ladoos may be limited. :(

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!

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!

The lady at the shop is extremely rude. I’ve experienced this on multiple occasions. I don’t understand why the samosas are kept hidden, and you have to ask for them before she reluctantly takes them out with a strange attitude. Another time, when I asked if the sweets were halal (as we were buying for a corporate event), she rolled her eyes and replied sarcastically that they’re all vegetarian. Not sure what the attitude is for, there are definitely other shops nearby with much better customer service.

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.

Great selection. Staff was helpful introducing different sweets. 👍

Every time when i visit i always get the best rasamalai and sweets. Have recommended to many as the best sweet shop in the island. They should consider reducing the price making it affordable for everyone.👍

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.
