Hameedi Confectioners, Moazzam Jahi Market
12 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/hyderabad·15 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Hameedi Confectioners is a well-liked old Hyderabad sweet shop, recommended above all for its jouzi halwa, plus double ka meetha and qurbani ka meetha. Commenters describe the halwa as rich, tasty and unique, though heavy, and one suggests heating it before eating; another explains it got popular as a late-night shop and likens the sweet to kalakand in gooey form. The caveats: a couple of people find it too sweet or not to their taste, one long-time customer feels the quality has slipped over the years, and one diner notes it is a bit pricey. It has several branches, including Abids, MJ Market and Masab Tank, and is available on delivery apps.
