This sweetshop is counted among the oldest sweetmeat sellers of Kolkata. More than 150 years is indeed mentionable! A notable Bengali confectioner Nobin Chandra Das who was a cultural icon of mid 19th century established the shop in 1866 in Sobhabazar. He was keen to invent something new in the history of sweets. Two years later with his innovative recipe and technique he made Rosogolla for the first time in 1868. This famous personality was known as Colombus of Rosogolla as he introduced this syrupy, mouth-watering dessert first.
The variety and taste of the sweets is absolutely eyecatching and appreciating
Dhiman Das,
the great-great-grandson of Nobin Chandra Das is maintaining the business at
present. The variety of
desserts can easily meet anyone’s demand. At the very beginning the menu
included Sandesh, Rosogolla, Aaabar Khabo, Baikuntha Bhog, Kacha paak etc. With
the flow of time and demand and also the market competition many new items have
been included to the menu chart. The most selling dessert at present is
rosogolla obviously, then the position is taken by Rashomalai and
Rashamalancha. This dessert corner is surely would be a right choice for all
the dessert-lovers. Well it’s hard to get such a variety in such a reasonable
price. The lowest rate in Rs. 8 which is of Rosogolla and the highest price
touches 50 and that is for Queen Delight. Besides different types of sandesh
are here to relish the taste.
Most importantly the rosogolla should be a ‘must try’ dessert if one has not tried yet, its balance in softness and sweetness will surely give you a heavenly feeling. Thus the 152 years old sweetshop is sharing its glory from decades after decades and we expect it to do the same for many more decades in future.
