Sandesh — the Bengali word for sweet, and for good news. ◆ Behind Sun & Sand Sports ◆ Serving Abu Dhabi since 1998
Our counter

A small joint that
takes its chenna
seriously.

Sandesh is the kind of place you find behind a bigger street — a glass counter stacked with trays, a syrup-warm smell, and someone weighing out kaju katli while the chaat man cracks pani puri at the other end.

Two ingredients, done right: that's how a real Bengali sweet should taste.

The rasgulla and gulab jamun go fast, the motichoor laddu is boxed by the kilo for festivals and gifting, and the chaat counter keeps a steady queue from late afternoon. Walk in, call ahead, or have it sent over.

Authentic Indian sweets — not too fancy, not too premium, but no compromise on taste. Friendly staff, hygienic and clean. Great for a quick dahipuri or samosa.

My favourite Indian sweet and chaat corner in Abu Dhabi. Certified and freshly made sweets — always my favourite. Must try their pani puri and Indian savouries, they're damn good.

I tried some amazing treats — dry fruits ice cream, gulab jamun ice cream and pani puri. All incredibly tasty and at an affordable price. If you want something new for your sweet tooth, highly recommend.

I'm from Nepal and I really like the food here — especially samosa, kaju katli, kala jamun, and the delicious chole bhature with creamy yogurt. I come twice a week on my day off. Friendly, nice staff. Highly recommended.
