Meetha Ghar by Gulab: Multan's Sweets Find a National Platform

In the bustling heart of Multan, Gulab Bibi's kitchen hummed with the sweet aromas of traditional Pakistani desserts. Her specialties – rich Multani Sohan Halwa, delicate Barfi, and crisp Gajak – were local legends, cherished by family and friends. For years, 'Meetha Ghar by Gulab' operated on word-of-mouth, taking orders through phone calls and managing deliveries within a small radius.
