Nagori - Indore

The famous Sarv Falahari Mishthan Bhandar in Indore is well-known among the locals for its calorie-rich Shikanji. After enjoying the unique Malwa Delicacy Dal Bafla Thali at Hotel Rajhans, we made our way to this confectionery shop located opposite the hotel. The spicy dal bafla thali left our mouths on fire, so we decided to try the sweet and cooling Shikanji priced at Rs 55 per glass. However, the Shikanji here is not the traditional lemon summer cooler from North India made with sugar, cumin, and lemons. Instead, it is a thick drink made with sweetened and thickened milk, almost resembling a dense mix of condensed milk, thick curd, and flavors like cardamom and saffron. It bears resemblance to the popular Gujarati dessert Shrikhand. We only ordered one glass to try a few sips. We also sampled the Kaju Katli, which we found to be average in taste. The menu also includes other items like Malai burfi, kesar burfi, milk cake, kaju parwal, aam malai, ras malai, rasgulla, cham cham, ras kadamb, kesar bhog, barfi kheer, and malai sandwich. The shop is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and closes at 2 p.m. on holidays.

This restaurant is popular for its Shikanji, but it's worth noting that their version is actually a milk-based drink. It's rich, high in calories, and quite sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, give it a try. However, if you're watching your calorie intake, it's best to avoid it.

If you like it sweet, you'll love it. It is not actually a Shiikanji, but its like a half thick paste of Peda (sweet). Must try once (although his very sweet). Just go to the Sarfa-Bazar and ask someone for nagori shikanji. 1 glass is enough for 2 persons (Currently Rs. 55/per glass). Although the Kaju Barfi is here to die. It is perfectly sweet and tastes almost like with raw Kaju.

Best Shiikanji in Indore. You will find such Shikanji nowhere in India. Just try it. Best... best... best... best...

Indore's best shinkji can be found at Sarafa in Indore. The taste, sweetness, and overall flavor are exceptional. Shinkji is available from around 3 or 4 o'clock at Sarafa.
