Jai Sitha Sweets

This place has been in Trivandrum for decades, located in a small lane in Valiya Salai, next to the Shiva temple. This family makes South Indian sweets and snacks that are hard to replicate at home. It started as door to door sales and has now grown into a shop, with many items selling out during the day. The parking space is limited, but it's not a busy road. It's a great spot for anyone visiting Trivandrum.

The shop sells traditional snacks, and their laddu is a specialty with a unique taste. They also have pickles, murukku, achappam, palkova, and many other snacks. The quality and hygiene are very good. It's located on a narrow street in Thycaud, so it's best to go by two-wheeler because parking can be a problem.

Horrible experience. The oil and ghee they use are really bad. Be careful, as they use low-quality or cheap oil.
