I was been there for sweets. Very old, well-known and traditional Bengali sweet place. Where many people love to go for food. They make great tests.
Sen Mahashay is one of the famous sweet shops in Kolkata city, the quality of each of its sweets is very good, especially Babu Sandesh, Mihidana, and Rabri Sandesh. Radhaballabhi and Alurdam from this shop are amazing. But the price is high, any sweet starts from around twenty rupees.
Bengali cuisine is dominated by sweets. We eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are also an integral part of our celebrations. Our sweet varities are so vast that they will daunt even the most resolute gourmand!
North Kolkata has a special place in our hearts when discussing sweets. It is home to some of the best sweet shops in the city. One of these legendary shops is Sen Mahasay Pvt Ltd. It has served us ambrosial candies for decades.
It is put up at a stone's throw distance from our residence, near the Hatibagan outlet of Aminia at Fariapukur. It is accessible via various forms of public transport. Due to its proximity to our house, we have become regular customers.
Apart from mouth-watering sweets, they also offer samosa (₹15) and Radhaballavi (₹15) that are perfect for breakfast and evening snacks. Among the sweets, kheer kadamba (₹20), soanpapdi (₹15), Darbesh (₹25), kora paaker sandesh (₹15–30), and jal bhora (₹20–25) are my favourites. They also purvey mishti doi and paneer at competitive rates.
They also bring some luck! Last Saturday when we're enjoying the snacks, Mirabai won the first medal for India at the Tokyo Olympics. Superstition? Anything, for our motherland.
