What Makes Bengali Sweet House Special?
Bengali Sweet House is known for its traditional Indian sweets and savoury snacks, making it a familiar destination for those looking to enjoy classic Delhi flavours. Its appeal lies in the combination of chaat, snacks and mithai that have remained popular across generations.
The establishment traces its roots to 1937, when Lala Bhimsain Ji opened the first Bengali Sweet House. The family business subsequently grew with the involvement of his brothers, Lala Banwari Lal Ji, who joined in the 1930s, and Lala Rohtas Chand Aggarwal Ji, who joined in the 1950s.

Over the decades, the name has become associated with the capital’s traditional food culture, offering visitors a taste of familiar Indian favourites. From savoury chaat to syrup-soaked gulab jamun and creamy rasmalai, the variety makes it a stop for both snacks and dessert.
Sunak was in Delhi to attend the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, which brought together business and political leaders to discuss issues shaping the global economy. During his visit, he also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 13.
