Paramount

In this scorching summer heat in Kolkata, what can be better than cooling down with a glass of 'sherbet' at Paramount.

From Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose to the 'dada' of Kolkata, Sourav Ganguly ('dada' in Bengali means elder brother, and otherwise in all languages it implies Sourav Ganguly, the famous Bengali cricketer who needs no introduction to cricket followers), Paramount served their mouth watering 'sherbet' to many for decades and people are admiring it more and more each passing day.

'Paramount' was established by late Nihar Ranjan Mazumdar in 1918 opposite College Square in college street area which is locally called "Boi Para" (book colony, aptly named indeed). Paramount was a cover-up for hideout of freedom fighters before Indian independence. Soon after independence in 1947, the shop turned to a full-fledged sherbet and juice bar. Thus, it has a lot of heritage and cultural significance as well as quenching the thirst of Kolkata for a century.

Paramount is famous for its yoghurt/curd based drinks and the dab sherbet. (a drink made of tender coconut water)
The curd/yoghurt based drinks are made by churning yougurt, flavoured syrup sugar and their secret ingredient which adds a different level of flavour in it.

The coconut water is always served chilled with the soft coconut flesh inside so it quench your thirst and as well as fill your appetite to some extent.

The mushrooming of many modern café in Kolkata over time could not diminish the popularity of Paramount, possibly due to the delicious sherbet they  serve at a very reasonable price.

So do yourself a favor, make some time for yourself, pick up a book from boi-para, head over to Paramount and cool down with some of their incredible sherbet.
