Authentic Indian Sweets & Catering Services in New Jersey
Rajbhog Foods Charlotte, established in 1981, began as a small sweet shop in Jackson Heights, New York, founded by Ajit and Lata Mody to address the lack of authentic Indian sweets in the USA. Over four decades, the business evolved from a local shop to a nationally recognized brand with four manufacturing facilities, cafes, and franchise outlets across the country. Our commitment to quality remains rooted in traditional recipes using pure ghee and mawa, while embracing modern strategies introduced by the next generation of the Mody family. We expanded into catering in 2008, serving events from intimate gatherings to large-scale political luncheons, including meals for dignitaries accompanying Indias Prime Minister during his UN visit.Our franchise program empowers entrepreneurs to launch authentic Indian food businesses, supported by over 40 years of industry expertise. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we demonstrated community leadership by donating over 15,000 meal boxes to frontline workers. Today, we continue innovating while preserving our heritage, aiming to make Rajbhog Foods Charlotte a global ambassador of Indian cuisine.
