“As-Salaam-Alaikum! Would you like to taste our Jouzi Halwa that we make? It has some historic significance. It is famous for being the chosen delicacy of the last Nizam, Osman Ali Khan Asaf Jah VII and he would frequently get it catered to his palace from our shop for all the functions.

Jouzi Ka Halwa is brought to Hyderabad by our great grandfather,  Mohammad Hussain Sahab, who is the founder of “Hameedi” confectioners. He decided to put up a sweet shop with the famous dishes from Turkey. The taste of our dishes spread wide and fast across Hyderabad, even reaching the last Nizam of Hyderabad.

It did not take him long to choose the Jouzi Halwa as his favorite and in merriment, he announced the shop to be named after the Turkish last king’s nickname, Hameedi, thus came to be known as Hameedi Confectioners.

Jouzi is a spice that we import exclusively from Turkey. We mix it along with milk, ghee, sugar, saffron, and dry fruits and cook for almost 9 hours. 

Today, we are continuing our grandfather’s legacy and we are known for making all the sweets that Hyderabad is known for.

Apart from the Jouzi Halwa, we are also famous for making  Saffron Ashrafi, Badam Ke Jaali, Motichur Ke Ladoo, Chandi Ke Ashrafi, Puran Puri, Khowa Puri, Buena peda and Halwa Sohan Tikki which exhibit true blue Hyderabadi taste and class.

Till date, we are still standing as one of the most preferred choices for the finest Hyderabadi sweets and namkeen, each being a representative of rich culture and a true culinary masterpiece.”
