City Sweet Centre in Newham

Everything is amazing except due to the small entrance area, it can become chaotic and confusing but it’s not a reason not to always get my sweets from there

Excellent Indian take away sweets and savouries. Reasonable prices.

This place is an institution for traditional gujerati sweets and savoury snacks. The kachori is a personal favourite of mine, and that special sauce they give with savoury snacks is unique.

The best dhokla in London. I am a regular customer since 2010

Always used to buy pata ghatia and Dhokri from them. Got it recently and ghatia were so thin and undercooked and the Dhokri was so dense and tasted horrible. Really gone downhill and won’t be returning there anymore. Still have the tables so we cannot see the Dhokri or anything so they just put it in bag and hand us bag. Waste of money and disappointing

Bought 2kls jalebis. They were horrible. Stale and 3 or 4 days old. Not the first time. Happened to me second time. Had to travel in the heat. It was 2pm . Think they choose their customers. Serve old food to new customers n give fresh to well known faces. How stupid. Should give it to the beggers on the same day Instead of serving to the customers next day. Pathetic. Gujjus will always behave like this. No matter what!

Been going here since childhood. This family run business is the original Veg Indian sweet place in East London. Always pop in for Bhel puri. Same taste as always. All products are fresh and great taste. If you lucky, can find free parking on side streets

I have tried two items both are amazing (Kachoris and Jalebis), I will try more of their sweets and snacks.

Bhel puri is 10/10 but some of the sweet burfi can sometimes be fresher than others

Lifelong visitor of City Sweet. Standards have dropped whilst pricing has rocketed. Dhokla were tough as boots. Equivalent to red London bricks, stodgy and need a pint of water to swallow each block. Used to be super spongy. Mava Penda, sweeter than usual, no dusting of pistachios like they used to. Disappointing decline of a local favourite.

Had guests over for dinner so ordered a variety of savouries. I am a regular at City Sweet so thought I again buy from them but this time their dhokla were uncooked. Upon calling them they refused to listen to my feedback and just claimed they have sold all day. Customer service was absolutely poor.

Overrated. No matter what sweet item you purchase prices are all same idiots. How can prices of all items same? Family owned shop arrogant people. They do not refund or compensate whenever there is an issue with their products. Pathetic people.

I love the tradition of this place, i'm not of Indian heritage (chinese) so was intrigued what these sweet delicacies were. I got a mixed box that cost me £16.50, hopefully giving me a wide range of sorts. All the individual sweets tasted the same, had similar textures, and in my view, very bland. I feel bad saying this but they all had a stale consistency and taste to them. Then again, I haven't been brought up eating these so what do i know!

For an amazing selection of Indian food give City Sweets a try

Best Gujarati takeaway snacks and sweets around by far

Been visiting many years Would recommend. Friendly staff and service.

My favourite place for gujrati style jelebi

Generally the quality of the product has been better than expected, however, it is not upto the standards recently. I bought spicy Sev, Chevdo, batetawada, and kachori, a few days back, and it was NOT fresh at all. All the items were completely off, and tasted terrible. The food has to be fresh to be enjoyable. Very much disappointed.

You will not be disappointed with the savouries and the range of selections they offer. Reasonably priced and local. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent range of snacks, best tasty paneer Samosas, sweets

Outstanding food excellent service please try it yourself.

Traditional quality Indian sweets and savouries served here. Family run business in Romford Road well known to the community for over 3 decades. Highly recommended.

Great products with fantastic service

So many varieties were available.

The food is great, but the service is always slow. The staff had once forgotten to give me my entire order after paying and going home. Had to drive all the way back to pick up the rest of my order because they forgot to give it. Check your order before you leave.

Traditional Indian foods: Sweet and savoury. Always fresh and of high quality.

Best Jalebi’s in town! Great fararri (fasting food choices). Everything is fresh. There is always a queue for this place!

Sadly no setting inside anymore since COVID. Take away only. They are not on just eat. They Don't deliver. The shop is Very clean, and tidy all the time. Two small serving counters. The staff are professional and very friendly and polite and helpful. They do catering for small or large parties. They are famous for their sweet and savoury and snack food. Some of my favourites are... Sweet like Ladu, Yellow and Mawa Pera, Barfi, Jalebi and my favourite Gulub Jumbu. Savoury like Gathia, Farsi Puri, Chevda. Snack food like Bhelpuri, Special Chaat, Kachori, Patra, Dhokrs. They have a lot more variety to choose from there manu. The prices are reasonable too. This is a family run business. I would recommend this place to everyone.

My mom favorite place , love the samosas.......really love the panir samosas

I think this has gone down in quality and customer service. They refuse to remove the covid screen so they can serve stale food to their customers. They have hiked the prices up as well. £4.50 for small portion of bhel. Like seriously.

Experience is excellent especially there special chaat especially I been coming here for almost 30 yrs from childhood to adulthood lovely set of brothers and staff all welcome to see and most importantly feed them taste buds 😀.

All sweets are so yummy specially bundi laddu . All time fresh and same taste .

This is Indian place I went too very rude customer service, Indian lady and Indian man both bad as each other ATTITUDE.

Great, friendly place for Indian sweets and savoury snacks. Been going there for 40 years and they never disappoint.

Good quality Gujarati savouries.

Good variety of savoury and sweet items. Paneer samosas and jelabi are highly recommended! Value for money, customer service is good.

Bought mesu, special chevda, coconut barfi and jalebi's. Got home to find I'd been given faradi chevda instead of what I asked for. No problem, but the chevda was stale, as was the mesu and jalebi-all now consigned to the bin. Coconut barfi was excellent, but we won't be going back to CSC. Really disappointing and not cheap either.

I have been buying my favourite savouries from these guys for the last 25 years. Best pani puri in town

This place caters for pure Indian vegetarian sweets and savoryies and snacks.

I went for buying some sweets for Diwali and it takes long time for getting,even they are not doing a proper arrangements for customers que

Best jalebis in area. Service could be quicker. They try and serve more than one customer at a time but results in waiting around unnecessarily when you can see the food on the counter ready and packed..

For the second time I was Sold old rock solid gone off Methi from city sweet centre. Not to mention this was bought as a gift for a engagement party. Will never be going back!!!

Great service ...run by some lovely people who serve lovely indian food

My parents and I have been visiting City Sweets for 30 years. They still have the best jalebis! At my recent visit the serving counter was screened off for Covid prevention. A helpful man served me and the jalebis were delectable as ever.

Been coming here for over 40 years. Moved to a different part of London but always make a point of stopping by here. Food is absolutely spot on and fabulous as always ❤️

Excellent choice for you Indian sweets and savoury. Clean and family run. Its been around for decades. I have enjoyed the chaat and samosas. Very reasonably priced. Located on the busy Romford Road, Newham.

THE TASTES HASN'T CHANGED, ALL THE TASTES, BUT BECAUSE OF CORONA THEY HAVE NEARLY 3/4 OF SHOP SEALED OFF, WITH PLASTICS BARRIERS SO THE STAFF IS SAFE AND THE CUSTOMERS, THE POLITENESS IS ALWAYS THERE

Wide collection & very tasty sweets!

City sweets have for over 35 years consistently produced the best sweets and savouries. We have bought sweets regularly over the 35 years and never been let down. High quality ingredients, consistent taste, family run business. Peras and jalebis ( with slight citric taste= unique taste) the best.

Old school classic. Can't go wrong for the sweet and avoury treats.

The best, most authentic vegetarian Gujurati chaat and sweets in London. Established over 30 years and run by the same family. A truly special gem that really stands out above the crowd.

Lovely range of sweets and excellent service

The jalebi here is probably one of the best I've ever had

Pretty much everything is good here.. especially the Special Chaat is excellent though.

Best foods all Indian sweets made in store

Good to buy Indian sweets and snacks. I found sweets here of good quality with various options. Parking could be an issue as has some time restrictions but free after 5.30pm and weekends.

Very good and fresh Gujarati snacks takeaway.

Nice place for Indian sweets. There was not much space for more people to have a look at once. But taste wise it's good.

Awesome kachoris and samosas, freshly fried and they are generous with the chutneys too. Really enjoyed.

Selling out of date snacks and straight in bin! A waste of £26 and never again.

Great food for a snack also nice staff

Today (19/12/21) phoned to ask when will the jalebis ready and got a reply at 1o:30am. Went and bought five boxes of Jalebi along with other savouries. The Jalebis were stone cold. Appearance is unappetising. Extremely disappointed. Over the years the service and jalebis have deteriorated. I will not be going back there.

It would be great if you could make some Gluten Free !

Had all of my childhood sweet and savoury foods. Saved me this Diwali. Very nice staff and the quality of the food tops all the others.

Can't really eat in there. Takeaway only really. Our family has been a customer for over 45 years, though less of late. The price hikes have been ridiculous in recent times (certainly not in line with inflation) The quality of food seems to have dwindled over the years. So too, has the customer service. All the staff really. It now ranges in between pretty average to pretty atrocious. All this has meant our regular visits have now been reduced to just a couple of times a year. Diwali and perhaps the odd birthday.......... and that is ONLY for the Jalebis. The JALEBIS are really the star of the show at City Sweet Centre. When they're fresh, they are crispy and crunchy on the outside, and fragrant and sweet on the inside - probably the best in London, but only when they're freshly made - I can't stress that enough. Mawa (or Khoa) ki barfi and Khoa peray are good too. The savoury items are so ridiculously overpriced, its unreal. Considering most of the ingredients are are fairly basic, readily available and inexpensive, and the items themselves not very labour intensive. Check the price of an extra bottle of the "pani" in the pani puri and you'll see. It's 80%-90% tap water, flavoured with tamarind and spices. Samosas (and their filling) and all types of ghatia are very very average. In fact most savouries are very average and there's no knowing how fresh (or old) the stuff on the shelves is. We've resorted to making our own samosa's, dhokra and other savouries at home and hands down they're better. But like I said, if you have a sweet tooth and you like Indian sweets, then City Sweet Centre is the place to go. The clue is in the name and the Jalebis are legendary. If it's Indian savoury food you like, you could probably eat better locally and cheaper elsewhere. It would have been a very generous 3, possibly 4 out of five. City Sweet loses two stars: one for below average customer service and one for it's daylight robbery prices. But gets one star back for the best fresh jalebis around. An overall generous score of 2 out of 5.

Amazing sweets and savories, can't be beaten on taste and quality

Bought Gathia very bad smell and taste like Chemical took back asked owner to try he did not even after lenty of times of me saying they tasted not right I was made to feel like a nuisance after my whole family been coming to this Take away for Years They offered a refund but that is not the point I bought 3 Boxes to give to family members they also said same thing after tasting All:boxes went in bin This place has no Customer Service No aftercare once they have your money that's it Food very pricey compared to others in same area With attitudes like this people will not come back Very quick to take your money though Hope no one has the same problem with Pata Gantia a very angry upset customer I will never walk into that place ever again Thanks for your help

City Sweet Centre has the best papdi chaat - a real must have. Always very clean and friendly.

Great service reasonable prices. Great for Indian sweets and savouries.

Different class for nearly 50 years.

A bit more prompt service is much appreciated

I like it my family injoy docla

The food purchased quality was extremely bad had damp in the puri, Banana chips, and sev as well Only Jalebi was extremely good 👍

There food and sweets are freshly made and tasty

Only Limited Customers (2 to 3) Allowed In At Any Given Time,Great Customer Service, Value For Money and Vegetarian Takeout Business.

It's ok, fresh and delicious dhokras, chaats, sweet and savoury food

Nice selection of sweets and Tasty paneer samosa.

Indian Sweet Centre with the East African flavour mithaais. Very distinctive in taste from the Indian subcontinent mithaais. The bhel puri was excellent too. Once again east African style, as opposed to the Indian chaat. However excellent taste especially with the imli and coconut chutneys. No eat in as yet only takeout.

My favourite place for paneer samosas and dhoklas...love this place and the service

Excellent indian sweets. Highly recommended. I wish they could deliver nationwide

Has the most awesome Indian savouries in East London.

Ladoo was too sweet and jaliabi is sour doesn't taste nice 😕

The place to go to for Indian sweets in London. This family run establishment is something of an institution in East London now, having been around for many years serving tasty Indian sweets and savouries. The quality hasn't diminished at all. Their fresh and crispy jalebis and special chaat are a must have. The arrangements made for shoppers and themselves to be safe during covid are brilliant.

I love the food from City Sweet Centre I've been coming to this place over 25 years the food is tasty and fresh. The shop was COVID safe and staff were amazing. Definitely recommend this place to others to visit for quick and easy professional service. Keep up the hard work

Usually a great destination for Indian savouries and sweets. Today's bhel puri, not up to standard and the 2 portions extremely salty. Massive fail for CWC not resolving when I returned.

Their special chaat is so yummy... Oh I want to go back and have some more again now!

Vast choice of Indian sweets and savouries.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Great service. The papri chat was delicious.

Food is tasty, simplistic, and fresh. Family owned business n very welcoming.

Fantastic and authentic fresh sweet Center. Really Tasty food.

A go to place to buy Indian savoury food and traditional Indian sweets. Freshly prepared and great flavoured food. A great establishment that has been around for a long time. It can get very busy when there is religious time of the year, where the que can stretch around the block.

Nice place to get Indian snacks and sweets. The chats are particularly good.

One of the Best to get bhelpuri and other Indian Snacks as ive been coming here since i was a kid and will still keep coming as it is one of the the best

They have a nut free range too. Perfect if you have allergies to nuts. All my relatives get me city sweet mittai on special occasions. I love the chocolate barfi, plain barfi and rasmalai. All nut free which is a big deal to Indian people who have nut allergies.

Best pure vegetarian sweets and savories in east london. Dhokla & jelebis are the best.

Great quality Indian sweets and savory. Reasonable prices and great customer service

Fantastic foods and samosa was delious and fresh made hot next time I'm come back again

This place is the best ever and has been for the last 35 years I've known it! Try the Seven Pouri , Special chat or crunchy dry mixes. The Dokhra is out of this world.

Great shop for all type of sweets

Authentic India sweets! Kachori and chutney were awesome!
