    Bhel puri was completely soaked and mushy. Samoosa was excellent as usual, paneer roll was nice too. Jalebi was different than usual, quite thick. Service was really bad though.

    We visit often to buy sweets. The selection is great and the taste of most of the sweets is very good. Service can sometimes be poor and also items do not have a price ticket. I go there mainly for the taste. Some of the staff are very good but the consistency should be across the board. My favourite is the motichoor ladoo.

    It is a very good place for all /most kind of Indian sweets, The footfall is very high so everything is fresh. Service is attentive - you need to be in queue as the footfall is too high. In my personal opinion stuffs other than sweets like chat/ fulki may /may not be as per the expectation specially for North Indians as the only spice I observed (when asked to make it spicy) is just red chilly. One more thing : in the shop owner's kid keeps wondering here and there and eats whatever he feels like ( of course he is entitled for it) - but it gives a sense of having / creating a less hygienic environment..

    Poojas is an excellent establishment from which to purchase reasonably priced Indian sweets and savouries, such as vegetable samosas, chilli paneer rolls, chocolate topped burfi, halwa and varieties of chevda - Kenyan and Ferari are my favourite at the moment. Poojas has been around a long time (since 1996) and their quality and value for money has not diminished over that time. I often go to Poojas and sometimes are tempted to try something different - one one occasion I tried the bhel puri; and now this has become a regular purchase. Recommended.

    An Indian store where one may find the snacks which gujaratis prefer. They have sweets, dry snacks, chat, and many other varities. Its a perfect shop for those missing indian style snacks, the prices charged are reasonable too.

    Nestled in the heart of Tooting, this Indian vegetarian snack shop offers a delightful array of traditional treats that will tantalize your taste buds. From the classic vegetarian samosas to the mouthwatering somosa chats and crispy pakoras, there's something for everyone craving authentic Indian flavors.Among their impressive selection, the paneer roll stands out as the star of the show, with its savory filling and perfectly crispy exterior. Additionally, the shop boasts a variety of Indian sweets, refreshing ice cream, and creamy Lassi, although the mango Lassi fell short of expectations compared to other local options.Perfect for those seeking quick and budget-friendly snacks, this establishment provides a convenient stop for satisfying your cravings. However, it's worth noting that the bustling nature of the shop can lead to occasional challenges. The staff, overwhelmed by the constant stream of customers, may come across as a bit moody or rushed at times. Furthermore, the shop's small size often results in crowded queues, with some customers attempting to jump ahead.Despite these minor drawbacks, the quality and variety of snacks available earn this establishment a solid 4 out of 5 rating. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on the go or indulging in a sweet treat, this Indian vegetarian snack shop is sure to leave a lasting impression on your taste buds.

    Food and sweet is good, and the staff is very friendly, but one staff used an old plastic glove from the bin, which was thrown by another staff. I was surprised. Sorry I have to raise this issue which is unsuitable for customers who trust your food. She might mistakenly as it was busy, but I am tall that I can see over the counter.

    Fresh sweets & savouries are a must buy from Pooja. Whenever I'm in Tooting, I have to buy a box of sweets from Pooja.

  • 5/5 London Guy T. 5 years ago on Google • 105 reviews
    Pooja tooting broadway sweets 1/2 kilo £4.50 for mixed ladoos, 1/2 kilo £4.70 for yellow chum chum (Indian sweets). Total price £9.20 Paid by card. This is the best Indian sweets you will ever find at a good value price in Tooting. Everything is halal. The customer service is just great, the customer attendant helped me choose indian sweets to choose as gifts as I Have no idea. Just truly wonderful and super polite with a smile helpful customer service. Keep in mind there is at least 20 customers in the shop at 6pm. They are open from 9am-9pm The place was packed and they had at least 5 staff on hand to help you with anything. Such a polite guy and helped me so smoothly choose which Indian sweets is great within a budget and as a small gift. Always go here for the best Indian sweets. Definitely kept me as a longtime customers.

    Best jalebi I have tasted in the world, always fresh and crispy. Samosa are delicious, nice Indian sweets and savory vegetarian dishes, so many different flavours of barfi it's just a delight. I have to come here every time I'm in the area, and I have been coming here for over 30 years.

    I love the samosas and chilli paneer roll from here. The taste is always the same and it’s always delicious. They’re a busy shop so food is always fresh and made instore. They sell a wide range of sweets and savoury snacks. I have noticed that who I’m guessing is the child of the owner picks up whatever he likes and eats it but from a public hygiene point of view it’s not clean. Shop can bet very busy but staff deal with it well. Located near Tooting Broadway station.

  • 4/5 Sammi H. 6 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    A tasty selection of spicy, savoury vegetarian and dessert snacks with a prompt, friendly serve and great decor; a seating section would add a great communal atmosphere to this delightful and nicely situated Tooting store.

    Boondi Laddu was sickly sweet and thick (I think something went wrong with the mixing). I'm a regular customer and it was very disapppointing. The Kalakand is usally very soft but for some reason today the texture is like sweet play dough. Very bad customer service from short skinny lady today.

    I recently picked up a variety of sweets, but I found that the Baadusha and Jhangri had an unexpected spicy and sour taste instead of the usual sweetness. Based on my experience, I would advise against buying any sweet items that are fried in oil.

    Happened to visit Pooja Sweets Tooting on Diwali. Despite being super busy, the service offered was outstanding and they’ve got the best Samosa’s in London. It’s my go to sweets and savouries place now.

    Best samosas ever :) Friendly staff & extremely helpful. Poojas is definitely my go to for traditional Indian sweets, savoury snacks, and takeaways etc. Great opening hours, opens late until 9pm. Prices are very competitive, the food is always fresh & tastes amazing.

    Unprofessional, Unreliable and unapologetic. Don’t use their website. We placed a large online order for an event and the website guarantees next day delivery by 6pm. They charge for delivery. At 6pm, the order hadn’t been delivered. We called the website telephone number and without apologising, were told: it will be with you in 2 hours. We rang them again at 8pm and were told the order is on its way and will be with you in 5mins. It came at 8.35pm because the “driver had gone to the wrong address.” This time we were given a quick apology but no offer to refund the delivery fee. They also didn’t think to ring us when they knew they wouldn’t meet their 6pm delivery deadline. We will never use their website again.

    Overrated Indian Sweets.. Didn't feel like Indian specially the kajukatli n regular things. Realised it's Pakistani sweets not gujrati. Even the Savouries not like gujrati chapati, thepla, paratha different to regular gujrati food... Not bad it's just different to what I would have expected similar to Wembley.

    Alot of mixed reviews but all my visits have been good so far. It's usually busy all the time but the queue does go quickly so you aren't waiting around to long. Staff are very friendly and the food items are nice and tasty

    Went their for kulfi Falooda, it tasted awesome. Just that you have to wait more than expected for your turn.

  • 5/5 Ashvin G. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time visiting this shop, normally it's so busy that I always think I will enter next time. I found a gem, though, so many different indian snacks, reminds me of everything my dad makes me when I'm home. I grabbed some Barfi, Migage (no idea how to spell this), Chana Dal, Cornflake Chewda, and some samosa pastry. Everything was great! Next time I'll go with the hot Chewda though, I don't really like sugar on it. The person that served me was super friendly too 😁

    Lovely Indian food on the go. The chilli paneer rolls are delicious. Samosas are also worth the trip. Never had any of the sweet stuff but the savory is amazing.

    Pooga has a selection of sweets and savoury snacks. I didn't try the sweets, but the samosas were nice. I like the decoration and the service was good.

  • 1/5 Hadia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered Gujrella and khoya barfi and mithi. Food was so smelly and tastes very weird khoya is basically milk powder in oil. I have had to bin complete order. It caused me very bad diarrhoea only tasted a bit of each box. Such a shame these kind of low quality food businesses still up and running in the UK. These scammers are taking people’s hard earned money. I wish I could give them zero stars.

  • 5/5 Maryam W. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been buying both sweet and savoury items from pooja for as long as I can remember and they never compromise on their quality. I love their chilli paneer rolls and samosas and can always trust that their standards are high and staff are committed 100% to good customer service. Highly recommend for anyone vegan and vegetarian (among others) especially as I have confirmed from staff absolutely no cross contamination takes place for plant based items- which is so rare with any other place!!

  • 5/5 Khilna K. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a package of sweets and snacks from Canada to be delivered to my sister in the UK. The process online was seamless and the package arrived promptly. The food was fresh and tasted great. Highly recommend for people internationally looking to send their loved ones treats in the UK.
