How we work
A kitchen you could eat off
Every sweet is traced from the milk that arrived that morning to the counter it was sold from. We know which batch went where, when it was made and when it expires — which is why nothing stale ever reaches a box.
01Milk before six
Buffalo milk from Kavre arrives at the Balaju kitchen before dawn, split and drained while it is still warm.
02Kneaded by hand
You can feel when chhena is ready in a way you cannot measure. No machine has ever convinced us otherwise.
03Four hours in syrup
Rushing this is the single most common way to ruin a rasgulla. We have never found a shortcut worth taking.
04On the counter by nine
Two runs a day to every counter in the Valley. What does not sell by evening never comes back out.
“NSNemai SenFounder, and still in the kitchen at five
We have thrown away more sweets than most shops have sold. That is not waste — that is the standard.

What the Valley says
“RSRitu ShresthaLazimpat, and her grandfather before her
My grandfather would send someone all the way to New Road for their rasgulla. Fifty years on, I still go myself.
“BMBikash MaharjanPatan
We ordered sixty boxes for our daughter’s wedding. They arrived at seven in the morning, still warm. Nobody had to ask twice.
“ATAnjana TamangBaneshwor
I have been buying their sandesh every Saturday since the Durbar Marg counter opened. It has never once been different.
Dashain · Tihar · Weddings
The days that need more than a box
Half our year is festivals. We plan for them — extra hands in the kitchen, longer hours at the counter, and orders taken weeks ahead so nobody is disappointed on the day.
Dashain
Family boxes and mixed trays, made to order through the fortnight.
Tihar
Sel roti, mithai hampers and marigold-wrapped gift boxes for Bhai Tika.
Weddings
Made-to-order in any quantity, delivered the morning of.
Corporate
Branded boxes, printed cards and a VAT invoice for every order.
Before you ask
The things people ring us about
Do you deliver across Kathmandu?
We deliver bulk and gifting orders anywhere inside the Ring Road, and to Lalitpur and Bhaktapur by arrangement. Single boxes are counter collection only — call your nearest store and we will keep it aside.
How long do the sweets keep?
Chhena sweets — rasgulla, sandesh, chomchom — are at their best the same day and should be eaten within two days, refrigerated. Dry sweets like kaju katli and barfi keep for a week. Nothing we sell contains preservatives.
Can I order for a wedding or a bhoj?
Yes, and we would rather you gave us notice. Five kilos or more needs a day; anything over twenty-five kilos needs three. Call 01-5970 100 or email orders@kolkatasweets.com.np.
Is everything vegetarian?
Everything on the sweet counter is vegetarian. A few bakery items contain egg and are marked with a red mark on the menu, both on the website and on the counter card.
Still not sure? Call 01-5970 100 — someone at the counter picks up between 07 AM and 9 PM.
