Iruttukadai Halwa
About Us
In the heart of Tirunelveli, nestled in the shadows of the ancient Nellaiappar temple, lies a hidden gem that has been weaving the magic of halwa for over a century. Iruttukadai, fondly known as the ‘Dark Shop’, has become synonymous with the legendary Tirunelveli Halwa, a Sugary delight that transcends time and tradition.
Founded by Krishna Singh in 1900, Iruttukadai has been a beacon of halwa-making excellence for generations. The shop’s humble beginnings saw Krishna Singh personally crafting the halwa during the day and presenting it to eager patrons in the evening. The shop’s unique moniker, ‘Iruttukadai’, was coined by its customers, as they recognized it by the darkness that shrouded it come evening.
