Mithaiwala Frankton is an Indian restaurant and sweet shop on Greenwood Street in Frankton, Hamilton, rated 3.9 from 1,173 Google reviews, with customers regularly praising the fresh mithai, samosas, jalebi and Chole Bhature.
Indian sweet shops live on turnover: mithai is best within hours of being made, so a busy counter usually means a good box. The sweets fall into two broad camps — milk-based barfis and pedas, which need eating promptly, and fried, syrup-soaked pieces like jalebi, worth timing a visit around. Most also run a savoury counter, where samosas and street-style chaat turn a quick stop into lunch; chaat in particular should be eaten the moment it is assembled, before the yoghurt and crunchy sev take on the wet ingredients. Regulars simply ask what came out of the kitchen most recently.
On Greenwood Street in Frankton, Mithaiwala makes a handy stop for a box of sweets or a proper chaat lunch.
