Veena Stores Menu Prices 2026: Full Menu & Signature Items

Veena Stores is best known for its murukku — the crispy rice-flour snack that has made it a Chennai institution. Beyond murukku, the store is celebrated for its Madras Mixture, Mysore Pak, kaju katli and the full range of traditional Tamil Nadu festival sweets. It is consistently recommended as one of the top sweets-and-snacks destinations in Chennai, particularly for Diwali and Pongal gifting.

Prices are very affordable by both Indian and international standards. Individual sweets like Mysore Pak or Besan Laddu start around ₹150–₹200 per 250g (~$1.80–$2.40). Gift boxes start at ₹550 (~$6.65) for 500g and go up to ₹1,000+ for 1kg assorted boxes. Murukku and savoury snacks are even more budget-friendly, typically ₹80–₹140 per 200–250g pack.

Yes — Veena Stores offers nationwide shipping across India through its website at veenastores.com. Orders can be placed online for delivery to most Indian cities. For international shipping, check the website for current availability, as overseas shipping depends on customs regulations for food products. Shelf life varies by product — dry snacks like murukku and mixture travel well; fresh halwa and cream-based sweets may have restrictions.

Several traditional sweets are naturally gluten-free as they are made from rice flour, chickpea flour or milk/nut bases with no wheat: Mysore Pak (chickpea flour + ghee), Kaju Katli (cashew + sugar), Besan Laddu, Badam Halwa, Coconut Burfi, Carrot Halwa, Palkova, and all Murukku varieties (rice flour). Always confirm with the store for cross-contamination status if you have celiac disease, as items are produced in a shared kitchen.

For Diwali, the most popular choices are the Diwali Sweet Box (assorted 500g or 1kg gift boxes with Mysore pak, kaju katli, motichoor laddu and burfi), Kaju Katli (always in highest demand around Diwali), and Mixture or Murukku assortment packs for distributing to neighbours. Pre-ordering the gift boxes several weeks before Diwali is strongly recommended as they sell out fast.

Yes — all Veena Stores products are vegetarian. The shop is a traditional South Indian sweets and snacks store; no meat, fish or eggs are used in any product. Many items are also vegan (murukku, mixture, savoury snacks) as they are made with rice flour and vegetable oil. Items containing dairy include Mysore pak, palkova, carrot halwa and laddus made with ghee or milk.

Shelf life depends on the product category: Dry snacks (murukku, mixture, ribbon pakoda) typically last 2–4 weeks at room temperature in the original sealed pack. Traditional sweets (Mysore pak, kaju katli, chikki) keep for 1–2 weeks at room temperature; some keep longer when refrigerated. Fresh halwa and palkova should ideally be consumed within 3–5 days. Check the packaging for the specific best-before date, which the store prints on all products.

Orders can be placed directly through the official website at veenastores.com. The site lists current products, prices and available shipping destinations. For large orders, festival gift boxes or corporate gifting, the store can sometimes be contacted directly via the website's inquiry form. During peak seasons (Diwali, Pongal), early ordering is essential as popular items sell out.
