When I was a child, two pieces of sandesh after school was mandatory! It is in the same locality as Nava Nalanda and it served well till 2010. Then we found dead ants, their body parts and hair several times. Still, the high rating is for the memories.
This is very very old local sweet shop tucked in a corner plot along the main Southern Avenue stretch in the portion between the new swimming pool and Rabindra Sarobar stadium.
My review pertains to their Dhakai Parota (originally known as Dhakai Bhakarkhani in Bangladesh). They prepare it so nicely that to me, theirs is the benchmark I've seen in India. It is served alongwith cholar daal.
This is a "para" Mishti dokan and I simply love their mishti doi which is too good. Their doi is different from those of other nearby shops....they have a "Lal" mishti doi which is deliciously creamy with a thick set rabri like layer on top making it yummy. This said the rest of their stuff is ordinary. The specialty is the Daccai porotha served with cholar dal which I didn't like at all. Hygiene too is a problem which they need to address.
I was a daily visitor of this place when I was in school. This place is too famous for their "khasta kachori". They make it superbbbb. I bet you wont find any better anywhere. Its kind of a fulko luchi and cholar dal pured inside. Totally bhuribhoj jalkhabar.
And talking about their sweets, rasogolla, lancha, and rasomalai are too good. If you are in southern avenue area, dont go away without having from here.
This is a small sweet shop located near the soutern avenue swimming pool back gate. I would highy recommend the Lal doi and the dhakai porota with cholar dal. The lal doi is its speciality and is a must on sunday lunch at my home. dhakai porota is a huge hard crust luchi with sweet cholar dal and is yummy. Their sweets are alos reasonably priced but not as good as the doi
While passing by, took their tok doi and it was pretty great to be honest.
Located in Southern Avenue, in the area behind lake mall, near eye within club.
Also took their gulab jamun and it didn't disappoint either.
It looks like an old shop and they're doing pretty great is serving good sweets.
I will be a regular here for their tok doi, I'd prefer ot more than their sweet variant, truly.
Good quality of Bengali sweets available here…
A good place to buy and take home sweets. Dhakai parota with dal and kalakand are delicious. In fact I have not come across the layered crunchy dhakai parota anywhere else in Kolkata.
Speciality are the samosas and the sweets, especially the Coconut shell shaped sweet...Which is unique. I have been going there for 50 years
Not expensive
Awesome place for sweets. But not up to mark with interiors....Better buy and take home.
I love the sweet curd "laal mishti doi" here. It's a must try here.
One of oldest snacks and sweat corner on Southern Avenue.
