Break Your Fast at Putiram Sweets

Start your day by indulging in authentic Bengali flavors from Kolkata’s heritage food joint– Putiram Sweets. This place located in College Street is buzzing with people right from the time it opens its doors. And this is a testimony to their high standards of quality and taste. Their trademark dish Radhaballavi is to be tried at all costs if you’re in Kolkata. The puffed up and stuffed puris are dipped in the tasty cholar dal (lentil dish) and devoured to the last morsel! Apart from this dish the sweets here are mouthwatering. Hot gulab jamun, rosogolla, nolen gur and strawberry sandesh are heavenly!

Snacking at College Street

Kill sometime in College Street, also known as Kolkata’s boi para (book colony) by trying the signature tidbits at Coffee House. Order a plate of Kabiraji cutlet (chicken cutlet fried with egg) and a cup of infusion coffee (black coffee) and enjoy the vintage feel of this place and you eat away. Founded in 1876, this place has always been the adda zone (hangout place) of famous Bengali intellectuals!

Next, head to Paramount Sherbet shop and drink down a glass or two of their refreshing Daaber Sherbet (coconut water sherbet). There are several other flavors of sherbet and lassi that will have a lingering effect on your taste buds.

Tis time for lunch!
