    Where
    56 Ramdulal Sarkar Street, near Bethune College, Hedua, Kolkata 700006

    Ask for the gurer jolbhora, sandesh with liquid date palm jaggery inside. Nothing is held over to the next day, so the good shapes vanish by early evening. Counter only, no seating.

    Bowbazar, Nirmal Chandra Street College Street and Bowbazar

    8am to 8pm daily
    Where
    5 Nirmal Chandra Street, Bowbazar, Kolkata 700013

    The norom paak jolbhora talshash is the one, soft chhana around a pool of gur. Hours drift, so ring before a late run, and the shop is a cramped Bowbazar counter.

  4. Nalin Chandra Das & Sons (Hedua)

    Hedua North Kolkata and Shyambazar

    Open
    7am to 11pm daily
    Where
    57 Ramdulal Sarkar Street, Hedua, Kolkata 700006

    Jolbhora talsansh here, and the nolen gur scotch if it is on the tray. The Hedua branch is the one to visit; the Rashbehari and Salt Lake outlets do not feel the same.

  5. Mouchak (Dhakuria)

    Dhakuria Ballygunge and Gariahat

    Open
    About 8am to 10pm
    Where
    17 Gariahat Road, Dhakuria, Selimpur, Kolkata 700031

    The nolen gur jolbhora is the pick, soft sandesh with gooey gur at the centre. Their gur rosogolla is nearly as good. Closing time varies by branch, so check the Dhakuria one.

  6. Sen Mahasay

    Fariapukur, Shyambazar North Kolkata and Shyambazar

    Open
    About 7am to 10pm daily
    Where
    1/1C Shibdas Bhaduri Street, Fariapukur, Shyambazar, Kolkata 700004

    Talsansh sandesh, heart shaped with a liquid gur centre, is what to ask for. Monohora and the kachagolla go early, so come before midday rather than after work.

  7. Makhan Lal Das & Sons, Notun Bazar

    Natun Bazar, Jorabagan North Kolkata and Shyambazar

    Open
    6am to 10pm daily
    Where
    313 Rabindra Sarani, Company Bagan, Natun Bazar, Jorabagan, Kolkata 700006

    In winter the trays here turn over to gurer sandesh; ask for the jolbhora talshansh made with nolen gur. The lane into Notun Bazar is too narrow for a car, so walk the last stretch.

    Where
    156B Rash Behari Avenue, Deshapriya Park, Kolkata 700029

    Take the norom paak gurer sandesh and the gur er baati. Shut on Sundays by most listings, and the winter range disappears once the cold does, usually by late February.
