unfortunately for me i dont think there is a trip to chicago in this lifetime. but inshallah i'll remember the name just in case. i did look it up online but they arent listed.

i believe the desi grocers keep ' shaheen sweets' mithai, i tried looking for that too online but no luck. maybe its am sign from God reminding me to keep my sweet tooth in check.

'shaheen sweets' is located in Jackson Heights, NY. Their mithai is as famous here as Nirala is in Pakistan, and yes it is authentic Pakistani style mithai. I don't think they have a website or if they deliver but heres their number, u can ask: 718-639 4791. now im craving mithai!
