Slough's population reached around 143,000 at the 2021 census, one of the most ethnically diverse towns in the UK.
Ambala, and 60 years of mithai
Ambala has traded on Slough High Street for years as part of a chain with real history: founded in London in 1965 by Mohammed Ali Khan, named after his birthplace in India, it was one of the first South Asian confectionery stores in Britain. Today it's grown to 22 stores nationwide, specialising in mithai (South Asian sweets) and savoury snacks — a genuinely different tradition from the boiled-sweet-and-pick-'n'-mix shops elsewhere on this list, and a specialist trade in its own right.
Still a specialist shop, not a wholesaler
Six decades of trading is real heritage, but a specialist mithai shop is set up for a customer buying a box for a celebration, not a business ordering trade cases of Western confectionery or an event needing a vegan-specific or halal-friendly range sorted in bulk.
Why that still means ordering online for volume
For Western-style bulk sweets, ordering online and having it delivered works exactly the same in Slough as anywhere else in the UK — no separate process or extra cost, just standard delivery.
