Pakistani food and fresh sweets, side by side.
Two shops, right next to each other on Al Satwa Road — a full Pakistani kitchen on one side, traditional sweets and a cafe on the other. Dine in, order away, or call ahead.
A sweet shop window. Nearly three decades on.
Nujood opened nearly three decades ago as a small confectionery window opposite the Al Satwa Big Mosque — pyramids of fresh barfi and bubbling jalebi on display for the neighbourhood. Run by the Ahmad family, including owner Naveed Ahmad, that single window grew into the two-shop setup you'll find today.
One side is a full Pakistani kitchen — karahi, BBQ, biryani, tandoori naan, plus the keema samosas and slow-cooked mutton haleem regulars order by name, especially during Ramadan. The other is the original sweets counter — barfi, qalaqand, laddoos, jalebi, and cold favourites like kulfi falooda and ras malai.
Curries, BBQ & biryani
Karahi, tandoori naan, kababs, and slow-cooked biryani — the full Pakistani menu.

Best Samosas I had so far
"It's a very small, tiny shop. The staff is friendly and I truly enjoyed the best Samosas in my life so far. Together with a karak they were dreamlike. I will be back for sure."
Amazing
"We been to the Nujood sweet for have breakfast, paratha and chick peas curry amazing. If you want visit for lunch please try chicken Biryani or Mutton Pulau, in the evening Samosa it's really good. Overall I rate 5."
Best samosas in town
"Best samosas in town, great value for money and excellent service. Not really a sit-down place so best to call ahead and order."
Little Sweet Shop in Satwa
"The milk sweet/barfi was good, not too sweet. Apparently the jalebis are popular with the locals. Great chilled desserts too — kulfi, falooda, ras malai."
