Belgrave Mithai House

Belgrave Mithai House turns out barfi, ladoo and seasonal boxes from a counter that has served wedding orders for three decades. Weekends are busy; weekday mornings are for browsing.

The story

The shop stayed in the family when the founder’s children came home from university and refused to let the recipes leave Leicester.
