Kolkata is a city known for its creativity and mouth-watering food. Among the over a lakh of sweet shops in the city, Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick stands out as a heritage shop with a legacy of taste. This family business, now in its fourth generation, has gained international acclaim for its consistency and traditional recipes. Sudip Mullick, the current leader, highlights that while the packaging, hygiene standards, and kitchen technology have evolved, the shop’s quality remains constant. They have expanded beyond their iconic Salt Lake shop, boasting 30,000 central kitchens equipped with state-of-the-art machinery. Their best-selling items, such as Jhol Bhora Sandesh, Norom Pak Sandesh, and Mango Doi, have captivated both locals and celebrities. Sudip recalls receiving a call from cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, expressing his delight in their Mango Gelato. Bollywood stars like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sara Ali Khan, as well as poets, politicians, and sportspersons, often visit the shop. Sudip shares how they have introduced innovative machines and technologies to enhance production and improve hygiene. The shop’s success has inspired Sudip to envision a future where Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick becomes an international enterprise like Cadbury. With its rich heritage and commitment to quality, this sweet shop continues to delight customers in Kolkata and beyond.
