    $6.50

    I stopped in while waiting for my car up the street. Ordered tea and 3 different sweets. It came to $6.50 which seems expensive to me. I was the only one in the entire place.

    Gulab Jamun
    Auston T.

    Amazing desserts. I had never tried South Asian pastries before coming here and this place elevated my standards for pastry shops in general. I have had the gulab jamun several times here and every time the quality and flavor is so good, I cannot do it justice with words. They are like donut holes but 100x better. Both the coconut and classic options are available - I like both but am partial to the classic ones, pictured here. There is a 30 minute limit for snacking inside the restaurant, but that's fairly reasonable. The staff are also friendly and quick to get you what you want. Try to go earlier in the day so you get a shot at the more popular pastries - barfi runs out sometimes before mid-afternoon.

    The review only speaks about rose falooda at Ajwaah Sweets. The rose falooda is awesome. Perfectly made with syrup, flavour, ice cream, basil seeds, noodles. Everything in the falooda is the right proportion. The falooda taste true to flavour and is as authentic as it gets. It'd be a 10/10 if they'd add a little bit of dry fruits to it but hey, I'm not complaining! There's not much to say about this place in terms of ambience. You order upfront and they call out your order. About 6-7 tables for seating. Clean marble floor and interiors! If you are looking to eat some falooda to satisfy your craving, look no further!

    Devon is known for a handful of dessert and sweets spots and Ajwaah is certainly one of the better choices. I tend to drop by after a meal when in the area and grab a rose falooda (ice cream, rose milk, vermicelli) - probably one of the best in the area and the ingredients are high quality. In addition, the traditional and American themed sweets tend to be well made. We have ordered boxes of sweets as well and I commend them for their detail oriented nature as they place dividers and covers for the sweets. Overall, a standard spot for me when in the area and look forward to dropping by in the near future.

    Wonderful little sweet shop with a great falooda. If you're looking to grab a traditional Pakistani pastry, come to this location! The service is very polite, fast, and upfront. As with most stores in this area, be prepared to see a lot of colors in the sweet section. If you've never had Pakistani food before I would recommend 3 items to sample; 1. the vegetable samosa 2. the pink cham cham and 3. the falooda. The vegetable samosa is a ball of spicy potatoes and peas wrapped in dough and deep fried. The cham cham is a milk, flour, and cream mix that is soaked in syrup and sugar and is one of my favorite desserts. Its soft and firm and has a great texture. Lastly, the falooda is a pistachio ice cream mixed into milk and some traditional noodles and indian seeds. I'd definitely recommend checking out this location for sweets and snacks if you're in town or looking to try new cuisine!

    Freshly basked chicken patties served with a spicy green sauce an a sweet and sour red sauce.

    This is one of those establishments that reminds you why writing reviews is so important especially when it comes to small neighborhood family owned businesses. Even before you all in, Ajwaah sweets had a very well designed exterior with intricate marble pillars combined with a very welcoming sign board. Walking in, I was not welcomed with any odors of oil or Lysol which is usually the norm for fast food & sweets restaurants like these on Devon Ave. The tables were squeaky clean and the sitting area is surrounded on all side by marble wall with Ajwaah sweets enrage one two massive marble slabs on each side. Now as you walk you walk towards the counter area, you are greeted with well food that is presented in a neat fashion with proper computer printed labels. All the counter tops were clean and all the food displayed was properly filled and had an excellent impression of freshness as seen in the pictures I took. I was quickly received and placed my smaller dine in order and alarms Take out order. The chicken Patties I ordered was quickly given to me and most places on Devon bake these in advance and want them up in a microwave. Here, my parties were serves right out of a warmer and they were delicious. Now I am not saying they were the best chicken patties I have ever had but they were far better especially when combined with the cleanliness and serve of this establishment than anything I have had at any other desi restaurant on Devon Ave. Shortly after completing my quick meal my take out order was ready and before heading I out I stepped in to a well maintained restroom. Over all my dine in experience was better than any other fast food restaurant on Devon. What made this entire experience so much better was how well my carry out ordered was packed. In particular everyone enjoyed their Chicken burgers and Beef Samaosa. I will surely be back and would highly recommended this restaurant to any and everyone.

    Chat with one samosa and papadi ( they do with 2 samosa as well , but we asked for mixed and same price )
    Gurwant K.

    Awesome service, clean, very reasonable price , we got chat of samosa and papadi for 3.5$. Jalebi and dhoda( mild and almond sweets) were so yummy that we got packed for one of our friends and for us. We were visiting from St. Louis to Chicago and we were so full that we didn't even need dinner after this . They are from Bombay India. The guy at checkout was so pleasant and helpful in suggesting things to eat and describing the sweets in his shop. It made our trip to Chicago a memorable experience. We have added this to our must go place while visiting Chicago next time . My mom was visiting from India and she also loved it .

    Rose Falooda...delicious!!

    Today on Christmas Day, when almost all the stores on Michigan Avenue were closed, It'Sugar was…read moresurprisingly open. It felt nice to find a colorful and lively place while everything else around was quiet. The store had a cheerful holiday vibe with bright lights and shelves full of candies, chocolates, and fun treats. There were some really good deals going on, with many items on 50% and even 75% discount, which made it a great time to shop. You could find a mix of classic candies, chocolates, and fun novelty items at reasonable prices. Even though it was Christmas, the store was not very busy, so it was easy to walk around, browse comfortably, and take your time choosing items. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Overall, It'Sugar on Michigan Avenue was a nice surprise on Christmas Day -- colorful, cheerful, and perfect for picking up sweet treats or small gifts while enjoying the holiday mood.

    I spent about $14 on cherry sours from this location and was very disappointed. The candy was…read moremarketed as sour, but in my opinion it wasn't sour at all, (also, had the validation of 3 other people), I returned the next day, (today), hoping to exchange it for a different candy or receive store credit for the unused portion. The store manager told me he couldn't offer either and said it would require approval from a general manager. What frustrated me most wasn't being denied a refund, it was the lack of effort to help find a solution. No exchange, no store credit, and no attempt to escalate the issue. I left feeling like my concerns weren't taken seriously as a customer. I understand stores have policies regarding food items, but better customer service and a willingness to address product concerns would have gone a long way.

The TVs also show nothing else but self promotion of celebrities visiting various Sugar Factory locations. Their other theme is attention-grabbing shakes and desserts. Ones that BEG others to "Look at me!" (and order one for themselves...). We partook because, well, "When in Rome!" And, honestly, it had some fun to it. The food wasn't half bad and neither were the shakes we had. The portions were decent but prices were inflated. We didn't buy-in fully but we still enjoyed our meal and didn't regret the visit (just not sure we'd be back to this one trick pony).
