Everything about a bowl of choleIn a market loaded with premium tags and gourmet flair, Om Sweets has built a legacy on affordability. The magic of serving a bowl of chole for just Rs. 25 is something that resonated with the lower and upper classes. Kathurias, the owners, have made one thing very clear about their pricing. They believe every customer should be and is welcomed with the same warmth, the same menu and affordable prices. Story of Om SweetsThe story of Om Sweets doesn’t begin in Gurugram or even in India; it started with Multan, pre-partition, where the Kathurias’ ancestors earned their livelihood crafting sohan halwa. As they didn’t know how to make anything except the dish. The partition uprooted them, but they carried their culinary legacy across the border. As we all know the survival in the capital city is tough, so over time, the Kathurias started a halwa stall, and it became a small shop in Arjun Nagar, Gurugram. When their father passed away, Om Prakash stepped in. He left college to take care of the family business and turned adversity into ambition. Doda Barfi in the MenuFrom a menu that features 600 items, including crispy dosas, street-style chowmein, creamy rasmalai and more, doda barfi stands as a star in their menu. Packed with rich and earthy flavour, doda is not just a regular sweet but an emotion for many. The destination sells over 10,000 kilos of doda barfi every day and nearly five times during the festive season. But what makes it special? A special and delightful ingredient, ‘Angoori wheat’, that keeps customers coming back and talking about it. How are Om Sweets standing out from the crowd?As we know that sweets are not just treats; they’re symbols in India. From a modest shop to a Rs. 600 crore brand, Om Sweets has grown carefully. Today, it offers sleek outlets, boutique subbrands and focuses on online delivery across cities. Before Ankit and Karan Kathuria took the reins, they were required to learn the ropes the hard way. From kneading the dough in the kitchen to serving customers behind the counters, understanding what makes the brand work was something important for the brothers. Their contributions are thoroughly reshaping the business for a modern world like thandai pearls, Biscoff barfis and more are packaged to Dubai, Qatar and many other regions to demonstrate how innovation is meeting traditions. The Indian sweet market is nothing less than a battlefield. Competitors like Bikanervala and Haldiram’s dominate the massive advertising budgets and celebrity endorsements. Om Sweets has grown mostly on word of mouth and community trust. With a thoughtful digital presence, health-conscious innovations and a sharper focus on branding is what is making things are in favour of Om Sweets. As the core remains untouched, a shop where you can get a bowl of chole for Rs 25 along with a plate of memories for free. The journey of Om Sweets isn’t about selling barfi or growing revenues, it’s about honouring heritage and embracing change while keeping the authentic flavours in mind. In every bite of the sweets, there’s history and authenticity that you can feel without even hassle.
