Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about ordering from Mithila Thekua.
Yes. Every order is prepared in small batches after you place it — we don't stock finished sweets for weeks. Perishable items like kalakand and peda are made the same day they ship.
Never. We use only natural ingredients — desi ghee, jaggery, khoya, real saffron and dry fruits. No preservatives, no artificial colours, no added flavours.
Sweets are sealed in food-grade airtight packaging and cushioned in sturdy boxes so they arrive intact and fresh. Hampers come gift-ready with ribbon and a card.
It varies by product — from 6 days for fresh milk sweets like kalakand up to 45 days for roasted makhana. Each product page lists its exact shelf life and storage tips.
We deliver pan-India. Orders above ₹799 ship free. Metro cities typically receive orders in 2–4 days; other locations in 4–7 days.
Absolutely. At checkout you can ship to any address and add a personal message. Our hampers are designed specifically for gifting.
All our sweets are 100% vegetarian. Several — like Gur Tilkut and Til Laddoo — are vegan and made with jaggery instead of dairy. Use the dietary filters on the shop page to find them.
Because these are freshly made food items we can't accept returns, but if anything arrives damaged or below our standard, message us within 48 hours with a photo and we'll replace it or refund you.
