Heritage mithai, halwa and bakery — from Mumbai to the world.
Abdul Gafoor Suleman Usman Mithaiwala has been hand-making mithai, halwa and Bombay bakery favourites and continuing the legacy which began in 1926. Owned and run from our Mumbai head office, the brand today operates seven outlets across India and the Gulf, with franchise opportunities open to committed partners.
A hundred years of one family's recipes
What began as a small sweet shop outside a Bombay mosque in 1926 has grown into a name recognised for its mithai, halwa and bakery specialities. The recipes have not changed — only the number of people who get to taste them.
Today, Abdul Gafoor Suleman Usman Mithaiwala is owned and operated from our Mumbai head office, with outlets running across India and the Gulf. Every item on our menu is still made to the family's original recipes for Aflatoon, halwa and Bombay bakery favourites.
