    Excellent Halwa in Tamil Nadu that you don’t want to miss. 1kg is 260RS. Expect crowd when the shop gets opened. There will be separate queue for gents and ladies. The ladies queue would usually be short, so make your decision on who gets to buy. The bad thing about this is people management, in this covid times you can see how people are piled up and even Police can’t control. Notice how many are wearing masks. Shop opens at 5PM.

    Crowded.opened in 5PM.I bought 1 Kg - 2 nos 1/2 kg Rate Rs 340 . Worth for money. Because of taste crowd , next Shanthi Halwa shop rate 240/ Kg but no one bought there. So everyone know where we get right product.. Some one buy 5kg, 7Kg .. i think very few only buy 1/4, 1/2 kg.. 4PM i saw Lord Sri Nellaiappar and Sri Kandhimathi After that i got this sweets. Priceless Gift both happen without any struggle

    Iruttu kadai halwa (dimlight halwa shop) was famous all over tamilnadu.but the over use of ghee make it grain structure so whoever expecting soft shiny reddish halwa may fail towards it. location: opposite to nellaiyapar temple

    Wow.. what a taste. Its just going smooth inside with delicious taste. Actually I gone to temple and took some time with other work and standing for an hour in the queue.. and for ladies have separate queue.. actually standing in a queue for halwa is too much.. but i did.. for bought halwa in iruttukadai we have to.. nearby so many sweet shops are there.. but no one is buying there.. just standing in front of that other sweet shop and blocking thier shop and buying in iruttukadai.. haha.. AND TILL NOW IRUTTUKADAI SHOP DOESN'T KEEP EVEN A BOARD FOR DISPLAY.. CLOSED WITH SIMPLE OLD WOODEN DOORS , whatever does it matter for us.. it's famous.. no other go.. it's simplicity.. And really the time I spent to buy this iruttukadai halwa alone .. I could say.. The BEST.. it's worth it. No where you could get this taste. It's reaaaalllyyyy delicioussssssss....

    The world famous IRUTTUKADAI HALWA SHOP since 1900 (இருட்டுக்கடை அல்வா) with the rich aroma and the traditional taste of TamilNadu Price Rs.300/Kg - Now, you can get the halwa with the new hygiene package. Landmark : Opp. To Shri Nellaiyappar Temple (Lord Shiva) on East Car Street, Thirunelveli Shop gets opened exactly at 5pm every day and remain closed on Sundays.

    Thirunelveli = Halwa Halwa = iruttu kadai halwa The shop stands for its quality without nameboard and people find it out with crowd infront of the shop..... What an amazing shop for its authentic quality of halwa in the evening time. Shop opens at 4pm and closed as soon as halwa gets over. You would really love the taste of halwa for 10rs in a banana leaf and carry few 1/2 kg pockets to home for sure. Pros-- quality of halwa, worth for money, strength of a shop without nameboard Cons- Too much crowded, no customers satisfaction interest of handling, Last but not least to add up the taste few kaaram/mixture and some variety Located in the beautiful nellaiappar temple opposite and you can park your vehicle it in the opposite parking area.

    The best halwa store in the tamilnadu.. when i visited there . There was already 100 metres line before the opening of shop . Halwa is too good .. best halwa in tirunelveli.. if u visit tirunelveli it is mandatory to eat the itukukadia halwa .. very delicious and sweet .. and perfect sweetness .. the location is next to the temple

    We have purchased halwa here during a Saturday at around 5pm after waiting for an hour. But the halwa given by them seems to be prepared at least a day before. It was not even hot. My suggestion is never waste your time at this halwa kadai. You can get hot halwa at many other different shops at tirunelveli. Their quality is no longer a wow shop.

    It's very famous but Sunday closed...so I couldn't buy here...so I can't provide rating....so I purchased halwa from Visagam store 10 to 15 shop after that, suggested by a neighbor shop keeper....that was also good....but I disappointed to missed to get from that iconic store.

    If you ever have a thought of tasting halwa, just get it from this shop. Best ever feel woth the taste of eating halwa. But bit crowded to get even 1 kg. Worth of money.

    The experience was fun to purchase halwa from Iruttukadai shop. The queue started at 4 pm and the shop opened around 4:45. The packing was neat and ready for the quantity that you need and billing was ready as well. On an average one had to spend around 30 minutes. The quality of Halwa is still the same over the years.

    A must try in Tirunelveli. Buy halwa for 25rs which is served piping hot in a banana leaf. 1 kg price is 340rs. The shop is crowded. So go early to get the amount you desire.

    Taste wise good but when the management changes to modern trends the attitude of the new owner changes . No respect for customers. The old owner and employees treated the customers with good respect and listened to them,but now it's totally changed. Most of the other districts customers might have faced this. Visit shanthi sweets and Lakshmi sweets and learn how to treat customers. Though we see a lot of duplicate shanthi sweets, they too show wide respect to customers. Getting popular takes many years but getting a bad name will take a few seconds. Note: I am a native tirunelveli person and I have noted this issue multiple times while visiting town and the shop recently.

    Thirunelveli halwa. Specific timing there for irrutukadai. If not you have to buy alternative shops. So check time before you. Visit this shop.

    Great quality product.. Taste never changed across years.. Store opens from 5pm in the evening and a long queue is expected always. But don't worry, you can buy in 10 to 15 minutes wait period. The shop closes at 7pm in the evening. If you miss to buy here, you could still get it in their family shop named Visalam sweet stall (shop no 40). No Gpay or any UPI mode of payment unavailability is still a concern. They get only cash and you can get packets only in 500g or 1kg pack. There is no limit for one person to buy. Earlier they had the standard of 2kg per person. Now its not like that. Great shop and a remarkable landmark.

    The most famous iconic Halwa shop of Tirunelveli town. No name board, No grand lighting still always huge crowd like a ration shop. Irruttu Kadai Halwa, Santhi sweets, Lakshmi Villas & Chandra Sweets are the shops famous for Tirunelveli Halwa. Among these shops this Irruttu Kadai Halwa is the most famous one

    Too much sugar and deposited ghee type sweet. Bought 500g pack/Rs150 (packed 2 days before) after 30 minutes waited in the Q. People started forming the Q by 4.15 PM and shop open by 5.15 PM . Police came to minimize the traffic jam in the area. But not worthy for waiting such long time to buy 2 days old packs. It can be sold at anytime. Y in the evening? Don’t know. Also the taste isn’t that much worth.

    the authentic taste of much loved Iruttu Kadai Halwa from Tirunelveli District. When someone hears the name Tirunelveli, the first thought comes to their mind is halwa. The Iruttu Kadai Halwa shop opens only evening at times 5.00PM for 2 to 3 hours per day. Most of the people struggle to buy Tirunelveli Iruttu Kadai Halwa directly from the shop by standing for a long time in front of the shop.

    Located opposite nellaiyappar temple. It's a very small shop . Ask any person in the city will show the way to the shop . It's that famous in the city. The shop opens at 5 in the evening and open till 8 at night.. it's only one sweet which the shop is famous for and it's halwa. This shop has been there for 123 years and it has never been expanded still operates from the same place. It's available in half kg packing as well as 1 kg packing. It's 340 for 1 kg. It's neatly packed and it can be used for 12 days after purchase.

    Famous halwa shop in tirunelveli. Location opposite to nellaiappar temple .shop only open from 5.00pm to 7.00pm . Usually more crowd are there sometimes queue start from 4 pm and the shop open around 5pm . We can buy tasty halwa .once the shop opened they distribute very quickly.the taste of the halwa was ultimate.the only disadvantage is there is no parking space available . We cant stop car near the shop. They accepted cash only gpay and other payment options are not available

  • 4/5 HARIHARASUBRAMANIAN R. 5 months ago on Google
    This famous centenarian halwa shop has changed its activities in tune with the change of times, retaining its old-shop-look, however. Now it is open throughout the evenings with unlimited supply for consumers, a direct contrast to its hoary past. But it doesn't accept GPay, Credit cards etc., for obvious purposes - all cash transactions only - the reasons anyone is easy to presume in this digital payments world! The shop has however opened online delivery...

  • 4/5 Abhijith S. 6 months ago on Google
    I recently visited the halwa shop, and the halwa was delicious! One thing I didn't like was that after purchasing a package of halwa, I had to wait another 30 minutes to purchase the hot little pieces that they served on banana leaf. So I had missed the chance to eat it freshly. Regardless, the delectable halwa was perfect.
