Established in 1727, LMB is a heritage institution where the Moong Dal Halwa is slow-cooked for hours in pure desi ghee. It represents the pinnacle of royal Rajasthani dessert craftsmanship, offering a texture that is simultaneously creamy and granular.

While LMB caters to tourists, Sodhani is where the locals go. Their halwa is celebrated for its consistent freshness and a 'home-style' richness that doesn't feel overly commercialized. It is widely considered the best value-for-money premium halwa in the city.
Operating since 1857, this shop uses a pre-independence era recipe. Their version, often called Moong Thal, is a denser, more concentrated form of halwa that tastes like history itself. It is a purist's dream, tucked away in the narrow lanes of the walled city.
