Who's got the best jelebi?

For those not in the know, jelebi is Indian. It's an orange-colored, pretzel-shaped, deliciously-sweet, fried dessert. I get mine for $5/lb at Delhi Palace next to Jackson Diner. Is there someplace better?

I'd say either Rahjbog on 37th Ave and 73rd, or Maharadja Sweets (diagonally across the street from Rahjbog) are two of the best. I'm not personally a fan, but my girlfriend Raves about the one's at Maharadja.

I remember those at maharaja are good. a lot depends on how fresh your jalebis are - I still like them when cold, but they get heavier and stodgier as they cool down. When we were in India in the fall, a host sent out to the market for fresh jalebis for breakfast for us (!) after we said we had been disappointed in a prior town - they were a whole lot better!
