Hi, I heard from someone that there is a very well-known mithai shop in Devon area of Chicago which also ships mithai over. Does someone what is the shop's name or it's website? Also, any other website that ships mithai to Toronto but only if you have had any good experience with it?
Much thanks!

I usually go there, but if youre living in Michigan or adjoining states, they deliver via UPS Ground (dirt cheap), and it takes just ONE day, unbelievable! I wonder if anyone else has ordered online from tahoora?

I have many times. Service is good. There are certain items they do not ship though such Shahi tukra.

I loved their sweets and salty treats too when we were in Chicago. A desi store in our city was ordering them in bulk and selling them at reasonable prices but his experiment flopped and he stopped ordering them.

Then its not UPS Ground, its air. That costs more so its actually UPS who ate your money not Tahoora.

Of course for the quality and taste it is worth every penny. It is costing me about 8 dollars a pound after even delivery via UPS , here in this city Raj Bhog an Indian Chain opened a store they are selling 3rd grade mithai for 8 dollars a pound.
I get it on the third day still it is not bad timing. Most stores sell more than one week old mithai which is no where near Tahoora.
