Mithai Indian Cafe

"What a cool little place! I came in last night looking for sweets and was the only customer at the time. The owner seemed happy to see me and when I asked for his suggestion he explained every sweet that he had on display to me which was an awesome experience. I ended up getting the raabri and the assorted Indian Mithai and even though I had never tried Bengali/Indian sweets before, I was very pleased with how each one tasted. Now I'm excited to go back and try other things on the menu! The price for the two items that I got was to be expected - I feel like I got a good value considering the fact that you wouldn't find sweets of this quality anywhere else for cheaper. I feel like the owner and his chef are passionate about their business/work and that Mithai is a great and unique addition to the community!"

"Had a stop over to have Chole Bhatura. It is a bengali shop so the style of recipe was different. Unlike punjabi chola bhatura, chola was bland and bhatura was more lucchi. However, vegetable cutlet was really good. We didn't try any sweets. Masala tea too was OK."

"I was searching for good Bengali sweets for a long time, finally I found it here in Raleigh. We ordered a Thali & a box of Bengali assorted sondesh for to-go. Both were amazing, we loved it."

"Visited Mithai after a recommendation but for me it wasn’t the best experience or possibly we didn’t order the right ones…First of all the sweets we wanted were all pre-packaged in big boxes so we couldn’t customize it in small quantities as per our liking. My husband loves Bengali sweets and the Assorted Bengali Mithai box that we had was kinda okay, nothing exceptional. Besides that, I have seen small businesses charge card fee & it’s waived off for purchases above $10, mine was $15+ including tip, so was kinda surprised to see the fee (3.99%) on the receipt, just my observation, it wasn’t a big amount. The attendant was friendly though & good service. Having said that, we’ll be back sometime in future to try some savory items on the menu."

"This place is a nice hole in the wall for vegetarian and vegan chats and treats. They have quite a selection of sweets and while we were seated at the restaurant many folks dropped by especially for the sweets. The bhel puri was fire! As were the samosa chats. The chole bature though, was a bit of a let down. The mango and rose lassis were really watered down and lacked any flavor. The restaurant has limited seating (up to 2 parties of 4) but is clean and cosy. It's pretty pricey for a casual chat dinner but that's the price you pay for a local small business serving ethnic food. The place is good for an occasional chat fix and has stood the test of time."
