Visited Mithai after a recommendation but for me it wasn’t the best experience or possibly we didn’t order the right ones…First of all the sweets we wanted were all pre-packaged in big boxes so we couldn’t customize it in small quantities as per our liking. My husband loves Bengali sweets and the Assorted Bengali Mithai box that we had was kinda okay, nothing exceptional. Besides that, I have seen small businesses charge card fee & it’s waived off for purchases above $10, mine was $15+ including tip, so was kinda surprised to see the fee (3.99%) on the receipt, just my observation, it wasn’t a big amount. The attendant was friendly though & good service. Having said that, we’ll be back sometime in future to try some savory items on the menu.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said…I have multiple problems with this place. Came here on a recommendation from my friend, the owner is, let’s say, a character. The owner brought up topics that are not suitable to discuss with customers and frankly made me feel uncomfortable. After the pushy, unhinged conversation, we felt pressured to buy some of the desserts. While the deserts turned out to be alright, I have a serious issue with the way the owner conducts both in-person interactions and his responses to reviews. Calling people snowflakes and weak men is such a boomer way to avoid actual criticism and makes me wary of recommending this place to anyone else. Prices were a bit high which is fine…but I will not be coming back here. Avoid at all costs!
Edit: Well as expected, the owner just demonstrated exactly what I was talking about in my review. Good luck man, such a narrow worldview.

This place is authentically delicious nothing too good to be true. My stomach feels happy and content after eating the chats , the sweets are perfectly subtle not overly sweet, just really great quality ; and I love the subtle differences :) I’ve been all over North India. And yes I understand the difference but these treats are uniquley delicious. This chef and desert maker man has been there for over 20 years and the owner is co owner Keeping the business float for all of them to continue. God bless these small businesses and Craig, the owner , and his amazing chef that he always gives credit too. Thanks for making things that are digestible with real ingredients and no bad fats much obliged from my digestive track. Thanks you for all that you do !

This place is a nice hole in the wall for vegetarian and vegan chats and treats. They have quite a selection of sweets and while we were seated at the restaurant many folks dropped by especially for the sweets. The bhel puri was fire! As were the samosa chats. The chole bature though, was a bit of a let down. The mango and rose lassis were really watered down and lacked any flavor.
The restaurant has limited seating (up to 2 parties of 4) but is clean and cosy. It's pretty pricey for a casual chat dinner but that's the price you pay for a local small business serving ethnic food. The place is good for an occasional chat fix and has stood the test of time.

The arrogance when a customer gives you a feedback was ridiculous not once not twice.I asked him two questions and he tried to describe as if we don't know what the sweets are.I am definitely not coming back as the food was exactly like the attitude*BAD*.I am aware that rabri is supposed to be sweet, but that was overly sugary. I SAID THAT IN A NICE WAY, BUT HE WAS VERY DEFENSIVE. Recommend this place to people who like bengali sweets, but be careful. Do not talk. Just buy and leave, or else you will be upset when you walk out.
Update****
We did eat the chat in the car as we paid for it.Other people may like it i did not...
