What S. Abdul Khaliq Sweets is known for
S. Abdul Khaliq traces its confectionery back to ancestors who served as royal halwa makers under Mughal emperor Humayun, before the family opened its first retail shop in Delhi's Chandni Chowk in 1835 and then established its Karachi flagship in 1947 after Partition. Now run by a third generation, the shop still makes Habshi halwa, barfi, and gulab jamun from those inherited recipes.
