Deepavali 2024: The 5 best mithai boxes in Singapore to gift your loved ones

Known for its stunning array of mithai sweet options, North Indian restaurant Shahi Maharani has unveiled its Royal Diwali Sweets collection packed in five varieties of intricately decorated boxes. The Royal Festive Box in blue colour, for instance, has 24 pieces of sweets made fresh daily. The gluten-free Mango Surprise consists of mango fudge with a hint of white chocolate, while the milk cake—a combination of sweet and savoury—consists of milk solids and cardamom. Other than the kaju roll and roasted gram ladoo, the mix also includes a coconut rose ladoo with gulkand, a rose petal paste. 

For those who prefer savoury snacks, opt for Treasure Sugar and Spice, which has a delightful set of spiced cashews, black peppered almonds and roasted pistachios. All the sweets and savoury snacks are mildly sweetened and preservative-free.
