“Famous for bengali type 'singara'. Not samosa. The difference is the potato stuffing inside. Its made using turmeric and maybe one or two other basic spices. No fancy spices are used.”
“Best Roshogula in the world!! Come here every two years from the UK since 1993, tasted every mishti shop in Kolkata and no one else can match the taste and texture. Will be coming this year again!!”
“Tastiest singaras ... A bit dingy, so eat at you're own risk. But their phulkobir singara and nolen gur-er rossagolla - both winter only - are excellent.”
