What’s a celebration without something sweet?
Whether it’s Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Holi, or even just a family dinner — Indian festivals are incomplete without desserts that make you smile, close your eyes, and say “wah!”.
The soft, syrupy bite of Gulab Jamun, the creamy comfort of Kheer, the richness of Halwa — these sweets are not just food. They’re memories, emotions, and tradition on a plate.
At Sherri’s in Slough, we believe in bringing not just the taste of India, but also its celebration culture to your table. That’s why our menu proudly features authentic Indian sweets, made with love, real ingredients, and time-tested recipes.
1. Kheer – The Heart-Warming Classic
Made with slow-cooked rice, milk, sugar, and dry fruits, kheer is creamy, soothing, and has that nostalgic “maa ke haath ka swad.”
At Sherri’s, our kheer is made in small batches, slow-cooked the traditional way with cardamom, a hint of saffron, and roasted almonds.
Perfect for: Diwali puja, Eid celebrations, housewarming, or just a weekend treat.
2. Gulab Jamun – The King of Indian Sweets
Made from khoya, deep-fried golden, and soaked in rose-cardamom syrup, Gulab Jamun is soft, round, and irresistible.
At Sherri’s, we serve fresh, warm gulab jamuns and sometimes top them with vanilla ice cream.
Perfect for: Diwali parties, birthdays, anniversaries, or a sweet surprise.
3. Rasmalai – Creamy, Soft & Dreamy
Soft chhena patties soaked in saffron milk and topped with pistachios — rasmalai is light and refreshing.
Served chilled with smooth rabri, our version balances flavor and texture beautifully.
Perfect for: Eid, Christmas dinners, or elegant dinner parties.
4. Halwa – A Warm Hug in a Bowl
From gajar halwa in winters to suji halwa for poojas, halwa is warm, rich, and soulful.
Our Gajar Halwa is slow-cooked in ghee with fresh carrots, milk, and sugar — no shortcuts.
Perfect for: Navratri, family get-togethers, temple offerings, or nostalgic cravings.
5. Fusion Fun – Gulab Jamun Cheesecake & More

In India, sweets are:
