Ghantewala, the iconic sweet shop from the Mughal era, has made a triumphant return to Chandni Chowk after a decade-long hiatus. Renowned for its ghee-intensive 'sohan halwa' and 'Karachi halwa,' the shop now also offers health-focused treats like ragi laddus.
Founded in 1790 by Lala Sukh Lal Jain, Ghantewala shut down in 2015 due to declining sales. The shop's resurgence in 2024 comes as a response to rising online demand, marking a new chapter in its storied history.
Despite modern updates, the outlet retains its traditional charm, drawing both loyal and new customers with the rich aroma of desi ghee-based sweets and savory snacks. Owner Sushant Jain and his son Aryan Jain proudly showcase their family's enduring legacy through this beloved culinary landmark.
