Bhim Nag r mistir dokan at bowbazar, Kolkata

Bhim Chandra Nag r mistir dokan is a true kolkata treasure. Located in bowbazar on 6 Nirmal chandra street the shop is over 100 years old. This sweet shop is located next block from my sosurbari and since i got married to Piu on 2004 i thank god everyday to give me a sosurbari adjacent to Bhim Nag :) whenever i go to Kolkata and to my sosurbari they pamper me with all the great bhim nag sweet delicacies. on my 2009 trip to India, i got a chance to talk the owner of Bhim Nag and took some pics. I came to know  several trivias from the owner that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose use to buy Sondesh from this shop before visiting Sir Asutosh Mukherjee, famous sweet ladycainey created on birthday celebration of Mrs. Lord Canning, Paradise sondesh created by them inspired by Satyajit ray and this shop still has a running wall clock made by Cook and Kelvie company( remember feluda classic "Gorosthane sabdhan") which is 100 years old. Well what to sat about their sweets. They simply excel in all kinds of sondesh, doi and mihidana. But some of my favorite sweets are Abar Khabo sandesh, Nolen gurer jolbhora Talsansh sandesh, misti doi, mango sandesh, dilkhush, pantua and Pan sandesh. My sosurmosai samir chatterjee simply loves to buy fresh karapaker sandesh the day before we leave for atlanta and always brings the packet at the dumdum airport to say good bye to us. Bhim Nag also prepares selected nonta items like Luchi-cholar dal , singara and nimki during early morning and bikeler jojkhabar. They runs out like magic mostly by the local foodies. Posting few pics of the sweets, the shop and most importantly that famous Cook and Kelvie wall clock in which probably Netaji and Rabindranath Tagore confirm their time while wiating for their order of mistis.
