One of the most famous sweet shops in Indore, Madhuram Sweets churns this golden beverage daily which is nothing less than one mouth-watering drink. You can also visit Vijay Chaat House, Mahadev Lassi, Agrawal Juice and Icecream and a string of other stores in the Chappan Dukan area.

Exclusively made in Indore, this milky delight has won many hearts and the locals boast about it, invariably. With a thick, creamy blend of milk garnished with dry fruits and shreds of saffron, this Shahi Shikanji appeals to our 'thirst buds' directly.

Estranged but the twins still have something in common!

Both the taste and texture of this famed version are way different from the original translucent shikanji, which is a mix of lime, water, sugar and rock salt or some local chaat masala. Even though, this Indori drink spins on a totally different angle, the Shahi Shikanji is similar to our regular shikanji in a way, that it is great to quench one's thirst. So put on your masks, sanitize your hands and head out to relish the city's royal drink!
