Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick

Visited this famous sweet shop during our visit to Kolkata. Have heard of it a lot. So thought of giving a try. The service was good. We tried many varieties of sweets. Felt a bit costly than normal.

I am from Punjab and got a cultural shock when I was charged for even tasting what I buy. In Punjab we encourage customers to taste before buying and are large hearted. Incidentally I bought sweets for 6k but was very disappointed by the attitude of the staff and owner. India is a very diverse country with great cultural differences.

If Kolkata were a symphony, Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick would be the crescendo – rich, melodious, and dripping with syrup. Nestled in the charming chaos of Bhowanipur, this iconic sweet shop isn’t just a dessert destination, it’s a centuries-old institution where calories come dressed in tradition and charisma. Sweet Legacy, Sweeter Stories Established in 1885 (yes, when Queen Victoria was still writing royal memos), this legendary mishti haven has been sweetening the Bengali soul for over a century. That’s 139 years of sugar-coated legacy — beating many relationships, political parties, and smartphones in longevity. It began as a humble family-run sweet shop, and today it’s a gourmet empire, crafting confections that’d make even French pâtissiers drop their macarons in awe. What Makes It Iconic? - The Baked Rosogolla – Let’s just say, if Tagore were alive, he’d have written odes to this molten, caramel-kissed marvel. It’s rosogolla’s glow-up moment. - Nolen Gur Ice Cream Sandesh – When winter meets dessert, and your mouth meets bliss. - Mishti Innovation Lab – These culinary alchemists have turned everything from chocolate truffles to mango mousse into mishti magic. Even your diet chart raises an eyebrow and says, “Maybe just one?” Fun Fact Morsels: - Balaram Mullick was once a royal supplier to Bengal’s aristocracy, which explains the regal air around every counter. - Every Durga Pujo, the queues here can give the Eden Gardens ticket line a run for its money. - They’ve bagged awards, hearts, and Instagram followers in equal measure — now exporting sweets globally with their vacuum-packed marvels. Final Verdict? Walking into Balaram Mullick is like entering Wonka’s Factory, except the Oompa Loompas wear dhotis and hand you sandesh instead of a life lesson. Whether you’re heartbroken, homesick, or just hungry — this place doesn’t sell sweets. It serves edible poetry. Go ahead, and cheat your diet. The gods (and grandmothers) approve.

A must-visit sweet shop in Kolkata! 🍬 You’ll find all kinds of traditional sweets here, but for me, the highlight was the mango chumchum—absolutely delicious and worth trying.

It's like a shopping mall for sweets. Always hustling and bustling...and what varieties! Stunned and overwhelmed by the range of sweets that are traditional and modern but most importantly authentic. The service can be a bit chaotic but you got to manage. They have sweets, doi and snacks sections. All equally good. First you choose whatever you want and inform the server who will be packing everything. He will then give you a card that must be given to the billing counter for fulfillment. Then you show the bill and take your eats. Easy peasy. There newest sweet of gondhoraj doi was fabulous 😍 Love this place and the hospitality is great. I forgot to mention that there's a section for bakeries and chatpata like chutney and biscuits, nimki or chips too. Must visit for locals and non locals.

Bakery and sweets items are good. Namkeen items like patties, hot dogs and others are not that great but manageable. But some of their staff members are very rude.

The card system is so cool and convenient.. iykyk All the items were delicious. Had kaju barfi, rasmalai and many more.
