A Mixed Box of Sweets from $13.00 to $38.00, or build your own by the kilo from 34 varieties of mithai. Sold at 116 Beaumont Street, Hamilton, for Diwali, weddings, births and the office.
Ask for the Mixed Box of Sweets. It runs from $13.00 to $38.00 depending on the size you want, and it is the simplest thing to hand over when you are walking into someone else's house. If you would rather choose the contents yourself, every sweet in the range is also sold by the kilo, so you can make up a box of exactly what you want.
If you are feeding a room, mithai is the end of the meal rather than a side note. A tray of sweets after the curries and rice is what most guests are expecting, and it is the part people remember on the way out.
We can put sweets on alongside the rest of the food when we cater a function. What goes out depends on what is in the counter that week and on how many people you are feeding, so this is a phone conversation rather than a tick box. Call (02) 4962 1827 or send the enquiry form on our Indian catering page and we will work it out with you.
Spices for the kitchen come from Raj's Spice and Groceries, the family's Indian grocery next door on Beaumont Street. Nothing on the savoury menu is cooked with MSG, and nothing arrives frozen.
Any sweet in the range can be bought by weight, so a custom box is just a matter of picking what goes in it. Here is the honest price band.
The cheapest per kilo in the range. Bright orange coils, sticky with syrup, best eaten the day you buy them.
The two laddus that sit just under the main price. Round, easy to hand out and the traditional choice for a festival.
Besan, plain, malai and carrot barfi, besan laddu, peda, gulab jamun, black jamun, rasgulla, kalakand, milk cake, chum chum, mysore pak and balushahi all sit here.
A step up from the plain barfi and still not the dearest thing in the case. Good when you want the box to look considered.
Kaju Katli, Kaju Choco Roll, Kaju Pista Roll and Kaju Costa. These are the premium end of the counter and they are priced that way.
The Mixed Box of Sweets is $13.00 to $38.00 and saves you standing at the glass deciding. See the full range on our Indian sweets in Newcastle page.
Add sweets to an online order, or call ahead if you want a large box put together.
Mithai is a gift before it is a dessert. What you take depends on who you are taking it to.
Take the Mixed Box of Sweets. It covers milk sweets, syrup sweets and barfi in one go, so there is something in it for everyone at the table and nobody has to be polite about a flavour they do not like.
Kaju Katli or Kaju Pista Roll. Cashew sweets are the ones people notice, which is why they are $39.00 a kilo. This is the box for a wedding, an engagement or a boss.
Laddu. Boondi Laddu and Kesar Laddu at $30.00 a kilo are what most families expect at Diwali or a religious occasion, and they travel well in a box.
Barfi. Firm, milky, not too sweet and easy to cut into small pieces, which makes it the one that always disappears at an office morning tea.
A small mixed box or a kilo of peda. Traditionally you turn up with something sweet, and nobody has ever complained about too much of it.
Rasgulla, chum chum and kalakand are all in the counter at $32.00 a kilo. Read more about the Bengali sweets we stock in Newcastle.
The Mixed Box of Sweets runs from $13.00 to $38.00 depending on the size you choose. If you would rather pick the contents, the sweets are also sold by the kilo, which is $29.00 a kilo for Jalebi, $30.00 for Boondi Laddu and Kesar Laddu, $32.00 for most of the range, $34.00 for Almond Barfi and $39.00 for the cashew sweets.
Yes. Every sweet in the range is sold by weight as well as by the piece, so you can make up a box of exactly what you want. Prices sit between $29.00 and $39.00 a kilo. Tell the person at the counter what you want in it and they will weigh it out.
Laddu is the traditional answer, and Boondi Laddu or Kesar Laddu at $30.00 a kilo is the usual choice. If you do not know the household well, the Mixed Box of Sweets is safer because it covers barfi, milk sweets and syrup sweets in one box. Kaju Katli is the one to take when you want it to look like an effort.
Yes, and we can put sweets on alongside the rest of the food when we cater. Stock in the sweets counter varies by day, so ring (02) 4962 1827 before you plan a big order rather than turning up on the day. For a function, the enquiry form on our catering page is the quickest way to start.
Both work. The sweets are sold at the Beaumont Street counter and you can also add them to an online order with the rest of your food. For anything large it is still worth calling first, because what is in the case changes from day to day. The rest of what we cook is on the Raj's Corner menu.
We are at the Hamilton end of Beaumont Street, with the Indian grocery next door. Come in and look at what is in the case, or call ahead and we will have a box ready. Our second shop, Raj's Corner Newcastle at 126 Darby Street in Cooks Hill, runs its own menu and prices.
