Shendar Pan House

Shandar Sweets and Pan House on Albert Drive is one of the South Side's most distinctive Pakistani food shops — part sweet shop, part tea house, part street-food counter. Jalebis, halwa puri, samosas and Pakistani sweets are made in-house and served alongside the traditional pan (betel leaf preparation) that gives the shop its name and sets it apart from the curry houses and kebab takeaways that dominate this stretch of Albert Drive. The address sits in the heart of Pollokshields' Pakistani and Punjabi community, and customers travel from across the South Side specifically for the jalebis and syrupy desserts that TripAdvisor reviewers describe as a great sweet shop experience. Open from mid-morning into the early evening, it is a daytime-oriented operation focused on South Asian sweets and snacks rather than evening dining.
