“It is also tradition through generations. Every shop in the north has created its own identity and owners know their customers’ taste buds. In north, most shops are old, and it is just the reverse in south,” said Partha Nandy, whose father Pratip Nandy is fifth generation partner of Nakur shop. (TOI , 2010)

Recently few year ago they have introduced us with CHHANA CAKE which gain instant popularity after KKR winning their first ever IPL and so many starts including SRK along with our beloved Mamata Di celebrated our maiden championship by cutting a CHHANAR CAKE of enormous size.

Behind the green colored grilled counter of this iconic sweet shop on Ramdulal Sarkar Street, the moiras deftly mould the chhana, fill it with crushed nuts and fill it up with syrups, to create the freshest and best ‘sandesh’ in the city. Nakur, as the shop is more popularly known, will want to make you taste each mishti on the counter. The classic mishtis are Madhuja, Parijat, a sandesh stuffed with pista and nuts, Mousumi, a sandesh layered with caramelized coconut and nuts, the syrup-filled Mango Sandesh and the more recent addition, Chocolate Balls, only, it is a soft chhana ball filled with solid chocolate and dusted with more chocolate strips. Start from the corner, have one, and keep pointing at more till you’ve tasted them all!
