Twin Sisters Turn Kharghar Bakehouse Into Dessert Destination
Shraddha and Shweta Paithankar are twin sisters who started a small bakery called Khari Biscuit.
It is in a residential area of Kharghar in Navi Mumbai.
They first made desserts only for people who ordered ahead.
Later, more people came in wanting to eat desserts at the bakery.
Their menu includes cheesecake, tiramisu, tres leches, and cookies.
Their Basque cheesecake is baked so the middle stays soft and creamy.
Their tres leches became especially popular after a video was shared on Instagram.
The sisters work late at night to prepare food for the next day.
They may expand later, but for now they want to keep the Kharghar shop’s quality high.
Twin sisters Shraddha and Shweta Paithankar run Khari Biscuit in Kharghar’s Sector 8.
The bakehouse began as a pre-order operation in November before opening for walk-in customers earlier this year.
Its menu includes Basque cheesecake, tres leches, tiramisu, pastries, and Nutella and brown-butter cookies.
Khari Biscuit prepares nearly six large Basque cheesecakes daily, with supplies often running low by evening.
The sisters work overnight to prepare desserts while focusing on maintaining quality at the Kharghar outlet.
