If you’re craving mithai — the broad category of Indian sweets that includes everything from gulab jamun to kaju katli — Barcelona has a small but genuine selection of places to find it. Here’s what’s actually available, clearly separated from general Asian bakeries that aren’t India-specific.
Direct answer: where to get Indian mithai in Barcelona
- Elaichi (Carrer de Floridablanca 130) — an Indian restaurant that also sells mithai, including festival pickup (e.g. Diwali)
- Indian Flavours (online store, Barcelona-based) — ships mithai nationally, including a dedicated range
- Fresco Sweets & Bakers (Carrer Hospital 118) — an Asian sweets and bakery shop; worth knowing about, but it’s a general Asian sweets shop, not an India-specific mithai specialist
Elaichi — an Indian restaurant that also sells mithai
Elaichi, on Carrer de Floridablanca in Barcelona, is primarily an Indian restaurant — its own website (elaichispain.com) is built entirely around dining, with a “Book a Table” menu of starters, mains and desserts. That’s a different picture from the “Fresh Sweet Shop” framing we originally gave it here. Its Instagram (@elaichi_restaurante) confirms it also sells mithai specifically: posts there advertise “100% Pure Mithai” and festival pickup — a Diwali post reads “PLAN YOUR DIWALI MITHAI PICKUP,” with sweets and snacks available Thursday–Sunday, 11:00 AM–7:00 PM. So: go to Elaichi for a sit-down Indian meal, and you can also pick up mithai there, particularly around festivals — but it isn’t a dedicated, walk-in sweet shop the way this article originally suggested.

Indian Flavours — an online option worth knowing about
Indian Flavours operates primarily as an online Indian supermarket (indianflavours.es) with a Barcelona contact address, shipping nationally with free shipping over €50. It carries a dedicated mithai range, including classics like gulab jamun, soan papdi, kaju katli, and ladoo. It’s worth including here specifically because it’s a genuine option for mithai — just not a walk-in shop, so set expectations accordingly if you’re hoping to browse in person.
Fresco Sweets & Bakers — good, but not an Indian specialist
Fresco Sweets & Bakers, on Carrer Hospital, is a real, currently open shop with strong reviews — but it’s accurately described as an Asian sweets and bakery shop generally, not a dedicated Indian mithai specialist. We’re including it here because some readers searching for “Asian sweets Barcelona” may land on a mithai-specific search and vice versa, but we want to be clear about what it actually is rather than overstating its relevance.
What we’re not claiming
We haven’t listed current prices, specific daily opening hours, or guaranteed product availability for any of these three, because none of that was independently verified for this article. If a specific sweet matters to your visit, call ahead or check the shop’s own social media for same-week updates.
We also haven’t found, and aren’t claiming, a comprehensive list of every Indian sweets option in Barcelona — this reflects what was independently verified during this research pass, not an exhaustive directory.
