Kolkata's Coolants

Although Kolkata is a heaven for food lovers, the weather all year round is less than desirable. The humidity, combined with the heat and pollution leaves a person quite uneasy and longing for something to beat the heat. Well, here come in the numerous roadside stalls and legendary shops in their own right selling sherbets, lassi, golas and what not to satiate the palettes of the heat struck Kolkatan. Paramount Legendary 96 year old Kolkata restaurant that serves sherbets in a full service set up. A list on the wall mentions the Legends of Bengal who have been here. Till today it is run by the same family who started it. The third generation is running it now.  The shop has a list of famous people of Bengal who have visited this shop. Some of the names include netaji subhash Chandra Bose, Satyajit ray, Meghnad Saha, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Uttam Kumar, Suchitra Sen etc.  The concept of this restaurant is interesting.
