The Good Stuff
Sweets variety
The sweets selection and ambience were both praised, making the outlet useful for picking up mithai as well as eating in.
Tasty snacks
Samosas and batata vada received positive taste feedback in a takeaway visit, despite complaints about the staff.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check offers. If you are collecting food, confirm whether promotions apply to takeaway before ordering; one customer was refused the tea offer.
Check condiments. For takeaway, check the parcel before leaving: a customer was told mirchi had been packed but found it missing at home.
Allow time. If visiting the newer Karama branch for a sit-down meal, allow extra time because one reviewer waited over 25 minutes for simple dishes.

The Bottom Line
Puranmal Sweets and Restaurant is an Indian vegetarian restaurant and mithai stop in Al Karama. You can dine in or collect familiar snacks such as samosas and batata vada, browse sweets, and try chaat. A reviewer also enjoyed the kebab platter and schezwan fried rice, while another liked the restaurant’s broad sweet selection and ambience.
The strongest case for visiting is straightforward snack-and-sweets shopping, particularly if you already know what you want. Taste feedback is not uniform, though. One recent review said the pani puri filling had become basic, the dal makhani was undercooked and the biryani was dominated by garam masala.
Another described the samosas and chaat as below average and overpriced. Service is the bigger practical caution. Takeaway reviewers reported an unpleasant counter manner, reluctance over extra chutney and a missing mirchi accompaniment.
A separate customer said a complimentary-tea promotion was refused even after agreeing to eat the samosas inside. 5 for extra chole without advance notice. Check promotions, condiments and add-on charges before leaving.
