The dripping Roshogolla, thick Misti Doi, innumerable varieties of Sandesh, mouthfuls of Rasmalai, unmatched Rajbhog and the sweet Payesh; it is impossible to come to and not head for a sweetshop. Though these sweetmeats are found practically everywhere in Kolkata, Balaram Mullick and Radharam Mullick are nothing short of a brand when it comes to sweets in Kolkata.
Kolkata's culture of Tea can be aptly observed by just one visit to this historical place. While their tea, which comes in different 'bhaanr' (earthen cup) sizes is the absolute best, this isn't the only reason why Balwant Singh Eating House is so well loved. A unique offering called the doodh cola is available here, which is cola married to milk in a most joyous union. One of a kind!
