| - You want to have a tongue orgasm? You want to know what heaven tastes like? You want to take your eyes on vacation to a place where they have the most colourful desserts on this planet?
You want to go to Apna Punjab Sweets & Restaurant.
This is how we do. Seriously, any time my family needs a mithai (Indian sweets) hook up, we come here.
Ask me how the food is, and I have NO idea. You KNOW that I'll skip ANY meal for dessert... so then you sure as hell know that if the dessert counter is what you need to bypass to get to the restaurant, then I'm sure as hell not MAKING it to the restaurant. And to this day, I never have.
When you walk in, the dessert counter is immediately to your left. It's big, it's welcoming and it's gooooood. They sell everything from Jalebis (orange pretzel-looking things, but don't be fooled, they are deep-fried sugar and RIDICULOUSLY sweet!), Gulab Jamuns (Brown, juicy cake), Laddoos (balls of goodness) and a million different types of barfi (Indian/milk-based fudge-like goods).
A couple things I have to warn you though:
#1. If you are planning on going THIS weekend, LOOK OUT. It is Diwali this weekend, which is the Festival Of Lights for Hindus and let me tell you, this celebratory day REVOLVES around these sweets! So it will be packed, it will be chaotic, and it will be INSANE. This only happens once a year, and if you're planning on deflowering your mithai virginity this weekend, then I would say prepare yourself for a rave-like, circus-type, all out gong show. Okay, disclaimer - check.
#2 - If you're planning on going on a regular weekend, ie. any weekend other than this weekend, It's best to go at around 11am. If you go in the afternoon, it is often packed and the line up goes out the door. The service can be VERRRRY slow as there is often only one young woman working the counter (she is very good though!), but prepare to have your patience tested.
#3 - If you've never had mithai (again, Indian sweets) then get an assortment. You can tell the woman at the front 'I want 1 pound, mixed". Yes, everything is ordered in the pounds... kinda ironic, isn't it?
One pound mixed will get you one pound of mixed barfi, and you can specify if you want gulab jamuns (juicy cake) in that mix or not.
Apna Punjab Sweets is my a-list sweet spot. It may not look like all that, but it definitely delivers the goods.
Happy Diwali Y'all!!!
