Pooja Sweets & Savouries

Went there yesterday they were not busy two people in front of me who were being served and one person behind me. There were 5 staff members. One of the staff finished serving one of the customer then I waited for my turn but the staff were not bothered yapping amongst themselves. I think either the owner or the son was there as well but not saying anything to the staff about making customer wait.I waited 10 minutes then I just left. This happens a lot in Pooja they just make the customers wait while they are chatting away amongst themselves. When Naella ji was there she was very good and always ensuring the customers are served properly. It's such a shame now they just don't bother about customer service. The owners should really train the staff and show them some etiquettes.

Wide variety of traditional Indian sweets and snacks. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting exposure to Indian sweets.

The worst Laddoos from Pooja sweets ever, had always enjoyed Sweets from them but not from this branch, very pushy service and not the same taste as other Pooja branches.

We visit often to buy sweets. The selection is great and the taste of most of the sweets is very good. Service can sometimes be poor and also items do not have a price ticket. I go there mainly for the taste. Some of the staff are very good but the consistency should be across the board. My favourite is the motichoor ladoo.

This is an amazing place to have breakfast. Such a refreshing environment with delicious Samosa. A man Rihan a well behaved stuff, provided me a great service.

Extremely Disappointed!! We live far away so online delivery is best option. Have placed order 3rd time spent around £80 during this transaction. Most products stale. This happened last time as well. They didn’t pay any attention even after mentioning how stale the products were. I will definitely never order any farsan or sweets with them. Poor products & no accountability!!

Pooja tooting broadway sweets 1/2 kilo £4.50 for mixed ladoos, 1/2 kilo £4.70 for yellow chum chum (Indian sweets). Total price £9.20 Paid by card. This is the best Indian sweets you will ever find at a good value price in Tooting. Everything is halal. The customer service is just great, the customer attendant helped me choose indian sweets to choose as gifts as I Have no idea. Just truly wonderful and super polite with a smile helpful customer service. Keep in mind there is at least 20 customers in the shop at 6pm. They are open from 9am-9pm The place was packed and they had at least 5 staff on hand to help you with anything. Such a polite guy and helped me so smoothly choose which Indian sweets is great within a budget and as a small gift. Always go here for the best Indian sweets. Definitely kept me as a longtime customers.

Happened to visit Pooja Sweets Tooting on Diwali. Despite being super busy, the service offered was outstanding and they’ve got the best Samosa’s in London. It’s my go to sweets and savouries place now.

On a recent visit to our favorite city of London (one of many favorites), we took the tube to Tooting Bec station and started walking South along Upper Tooting Road. After stopping by other desi stores, we got to Pooja Sweets on our Right, with Pooja Cakes (they looked so tempting notwithstanding their gaudy and brightly colored appearance) shop across the street. As a big fan of Indian chaat and street food, I love these places and was eagerly anticipating the joy of treating my taste buds to some terrific snacks. The store has a busy counter that serves savory snacks and mithai on one side and a counter on the opposite side to order chaat. I ordered pani puri, bhel puri and I think, dahi vada. One taste and I felt let down as did my wife. She refused to eat any more and went off to the other counter to buy some take away samosas, kachoris and other stuff to eat on the long flight home the next day (anything better than airline food) while I valiantly kept taking more bites of all my dishes hoping to change my mind. But this was not the case. What was interesting was that the other customers were consuming their orders with great relish -- I guess to each their own and who knows if they or I know better. I walked out, while my wife was still waiting in line, to check out the cake shop across the street along with what seemed like a nice though smaller snack and sweet place next to it. Crossing the street again, I went to to what seemed like a great bakery that sold different types of naans and appeared to be very popular. Too bad I was not looking for cakes and did not have a home to take back naans for the evening (though whenever in London I always wish we had a home there except my wife has enough with all our current locations and will only consider an additional home in either Dubai or Singapore). The trip to Tooting would have been disappointing but for the absolutely amazing Multani Halwa we picked up from Nirala Sweets as we walked further South towards the Tooting Broadway tube station, and the success my wife had in finding some desi clothes to buy. We also had dinner at what claimed to be Mayor Sadiq Khan's favorite restaurant in what happened to be his neighborhood, that is perhaps going to be the subject of a future review. Regarding Pooja Sweets, I thought of the many times that I have read glowing reviews and built expectations that were shattered when I finally got there -- I am sure all of you can relate to that.

I had spied Pooja while driving through Tooting recently and returned to gaze through the window at the wonderous assortment of Indian sweets and savouries on offer. I love trying new tastes and the row upon row of unknown goodies was too tempting to pass up. Business was brisk this Saturday but the staff were patient enough to recommend things. I have more of a savoury tooth and ended up with bags of 3 different types of gathia, lovely crunchy noodle-shaped snacks. I also had some chum chums and gulaab jamun, both recommended and yummy if a little sweet. A treasure trove whether or not you're familiar with Indian sweets and savouries.

Choosing a path of vegetarianism has the potential to be a little boring on the culinary side of things. Entering Pooja will provide you with a world of tasty options though: it's a place with a wonderful smell and all sorts of Indian foods and sweets. Everything is completely vegetarian, though not vegan. evident in their egg-less cakes. So if you have a lively Indian wedding to cater for, or a Bollywood themed party, Pooja is your one stop shop. Everything is completely authentic and very well-priced, and for your enjoyment, they have a complete on-line ordering system too which includes a delivery service to your home address.

Really decent Indian sweets and for the vegetarian amongst us...it makes a massive difference. They are super clean, efficient, very helpful and the quality of the sweets are blooming brilliant. For the picky amongst us, there's enough on offer to keep you buzzing. The cashew barfi are pretty much my favourite but I always try something different just to keep abreast with what's on offer. They also do lots of festival specific sweets too. And they've also got a mini street food takeaway section. What more could you possibly want? Better question, why aren't you there yet??? Go, go, go!

Pooja's brightly lit white tile and chrome interior showcases oh so many tiny tasty things made of pastry. There are stacks, pyramids, rows and piles of the things to gorge your eyes upon. A veritable treasure trove of Indian savoury dumplings/pastries/parcels/rolls (all veggie), baklava and Indian cakes. Then there are the achingly sweet and brightly coloured Indian sweets, just as abundant and thrilling to look at. Business is always booming when I go in, and it is a bit intimidating because I am completely ignorant of what it is that's on offer, and I've had to decide quick because I am in a queue. But the staff are always happy to recommend things, and it's fun to just go with it and get a paper bag filled with New Things To Try. I haven't had a dud item yet, and although the pricing is a mystery as I've yet to spot any labels, it seems to end up being cheap.

As a child gowing up on the shores of the Indian Ocean, the food from Pooja was what I grew up with. This place is a triumph of 'good taste', in the truest sense of that expression! The range of foods can seem bewildering at first, but fear not. Ask the staff, they might seem hassled but they really don't bite and are in fact really happy to tell you all about the food, offer samples and make recommendations. On one occasion I remember being there and hearing one of the staff conduct three transactions simultaneously, and very politely and nicely, in English, Gujarati and German . . . . some feat! You'll find familiar savouries like Samosa here (only Vegetarian food here as this is a Gujarati Brahmin owned business) but three different types, with onion, without onion, or Punjabi; this distinction matters to Orthodox Hindus and Jains in particular, or even people who just don't like onions. Other savouries include at least six different types of Chevda (commonly referred to as 'Bombay Mix' by some), puris, sev, pakora, halva and a myriad other ingenious constructions from gram flour (made from chick peas) and spices and water either steamed or fried. They even construct Bhel Poori - a mix of puri, spiced yoghurt, chick peas, sev, tangy tamarind, coriander leaves, nuts and spices. The sweet counter is a wonder to behold. A myriad of colours, from pale cream, through yellows and light greens to vivid reds and oranges heralds a vast range of Indian sweets (or Halwai) that you'd find hard to beat. Some, the more refined sort, are topped with silver or gold leaf - yes, real gold and silver. In the main, these sweets are made from milk leavened with ground nuts and soft, sweet spices like cardamom, cinammon or clove. Other sweets come drenched in rose syrup which is almost heady in its fragrance and flavour. If you ever get the chance to go to Tooting, please do try to make Pooja one of your destinations, if only to find out what real Indian food tastes like. On the same strip you'll also find some great vegetarian Indian restaurants like Kastoori and North Indian (meat eaters note!) restaurants like Mirch Masala - all excellent.

A great indian sweet shop to visit in the heart of tooting! It has over 100 varieties of both Sweets and Savouries on the menu and the list is growing as Pooja try to cater to all their customers unique requests. Its Sweets are made using Pure Butter Ghee, Milk Products and Khoya. If you want to try real delicious indian desserts (especially those with a sweet tooth) I recommend to visit this place, you'll become hooked, guranteed,lol. Prices varies but are reasonable.

Excellent, no frills, good value, excellent food. Vegetarian. I love chaat!

If I could 0 then I would have given. on two consecutive occasions, 1 of items were missing with no compensation or return of money. Cheater. Also no tracking note of delivery, you don't know when they are going to delivery, that's what happens when using cheap delivery courier. Very unsatisfied.

This is a true gem. I first went there for their sweets, but now I go back every week to get their savouries: chaat, curry, and all the starters. This is all proper South Indian vegetarian food, fresh and cheap - not your usual takeaway!

So cheap it is crazy! Excellent and unusual Indian food - not only sweets, but great chaats, curries, samosas etc etc.
