No occasion in Lahore is complete without a box of something sweet — mithai for a wedding, a cake for a birthday, or just a bag of barfi because it was there. The city's bakeries and sweet shops range from decades-old halwai counters to glossy modern patisseries.
These are the counters that rarely disappoint. Every one is a real, open listing on Mulk — and yes, you should buy extra, because they never make it home.
