Al-Karam Sweets
The best South Asian sweets in the city. There's always a line, and it's always worth it. Al-Karam is the gold standard for mithai in Toronto — everything is made with care, the quality is consistent, and the variety is excellent.
What to Order
Whatever they have fresh that day. Every visit is different and every visit is good. The classics like barfi and gulab jamun are always reliable.
Must Try
Just go and try whatever looks good. You won't leave disappointed.
Our take from the visit
Extremely consistent, extremely good. If you're bringing sweets to a family function or just want a proper South Asian sweet fix, Al-Karam is the answer. Don't let the line intimidate you — it moves.
