The sweets are good but it is a little expensive by the weight. I had some chum chum and golab Jamun. Pakistani sweets a heavy with the sugar and syrup but I love it.

We came here for allllllll the desi sweets as my Gujarati fiancé loves sweets! But we were also curious about their samosas as we are samosa fanatics....Turns out, we were NOT a fan of their samosas. The flavor was okay, but the filling was very chunky - the potatoes weren't mashed but instead were large pieces throughout the samosa. We were hoping that they'd take the #1 spot on our "Best Samosas in Houston" list but alas, they did not. The sweets, on the other hand, were great! Not going to lie, we only had gulab jamin and a gulab jamin sandwich (which was a unique twist to the classic gulab jamin and I liked it a lot!). Nevertheless, we were very satisfied with the results! We'll definitely be back to try out other sweets as my fiancé has a massive sweet tooth!

Heard so many great review about raja but I don't like sweets treats so much that was why I didn't want to come.Then I was in the neighborhood so I decided to get some samosas from here.Turn out it's probably best to get only sweets treats since they are well know for it . The samosas are not good. I surely has better samosas in town.A lot of people came to buy the desserts section.

Raja SweetsKnown in our circle for their kala jamun, today we decided to taste their menu of entrees and otter snacks. We had a small appetite so a small plate of pakodas with a side of rasgulla seemed like a good idea, although what we wanted to order was the snack platter. The snack platter came with 2 samosas and a portion of pakodas for $6.50 if you want to try.The pakodas were a decent portion and hot while being crispy - thumbs up. The rasgulla was as expected but shouldn't it come with a bowl of suger syrup ?The service was wanting and thats where the stars reduce. We were waiting at the food counter, which is away from the sweets counter for quite some time. I even called out to a lady at the counter who was packing boxes, and asked who can help us as we have been waiting for more than 15 min with noone looking to us, but she just turned and walked away, I still thought maybe she would send someone but no, she just got to the cash counter as if we did not exist - that was bad feeling. But i have been there for sweets plenty times and its been pretty normal Raja sweets also has a pan counter, I have not seen him in the past 2-3 visits maybe because of covid, but he is still there.

My go-to place for chai, snacks and sweets. The aunties at the counter are just like mom figures and the service is great. I love chillaxing with my hot chai and realign my soul for a few minutes here. Only place with a huge selection of desi sweets. Parking is okay most times. This is the heart of hilcroft. Everything you desire is a stone's throw away from here.

Went for lunch with my family, and Sharan the owner took such great care of us. We had a little bit of everything and it all tasted so amazing! We had the butter chicken, naan, goat curry, saag paneer, meatballs, samosas and pakoras. This place also has the best desserts! So glad we were able to stop in!

This review is solely for their gulab jamuns! They are the BEST I have ever had, and that's saying something. Our family always picks some up whenever we're in the area. They're amazing cold or warmed up in the microwave for a couple seconds. They're even better when served with ice cream!Give them a shot. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Diwali is coming. Raja Sweets will be busy for sure. I learned about this restaurant when my foodie friend hosted video blogs during the pandemic. He featured Raja Sweet. That's how I got interested with the Indian desserts.On my first visit, I was clueless. A helpful customer offered to introduce the sweets to me. He showed me the "milky" ones. They are all way too sweet for me and my foodie friends. I ate one after the other. No time to savor the moment.Then, I started to investigate by trying few items at a time as my way to understand the beauty as Raja Sweet is. I tried every curry dish on the menu and documented each sweet by cutting them up after taking photos, one by one. So far, I have nothing but great experience. I read the description on the website to see which ones are not soaked in "sugary water overnight". Such as Rasgulla, Gulab Jamum, Kala Jamum (deep fried black), Jalebi and Rasmalai, tend to be really sweet. I also want to highlight those with lactose-intolerance folks like me: Badana, Balu Shai, Besan Burfi, Besan Ladoo, Kaju Pista Roll, Mango Pehra, Punjabi Pinni, Coconut Laddoo, Gurpara, Jalebi, LadduMesu, Patisa and Pehra. The best way to check the website rajasweets.co/menu/ for currently offered sweets. Learning from description and tasting them are more meaningful than just put them in my mouth one after the other. I drink water or tea in between each bite to reduce the sweetness. Each item has its unique flavor. Please see all of my photos for complete description.On the other side of sweets counter is the hot food counter. I have tried chicken curry, goat curry and tandoori chicken plates. Each plate comes with one vegetable and rice or naan, which is made freshly in the kitchen. It takes about 3 minutes. These are humongous in portion. I often take my leftovers home for midnight snack.I hope you enjoy this comprehensive review. The best way to enjoy the Indian sweets is to visit Raja Sweets in person for a true experience.

When my parents visited from Texas, they brought some Habshi Halwa from Raja Sweets, a shop located far from downtown. They've never tried it before, but I have. It was burnt and very disgusting. If you wouldn't eat it, you shouldn't sell it.
