Rosogolla, the sweet K.C. Das made famous

What you’ll find

What K.C. Das is known for

This Bagbazar sweet house traces its lineage to Nobin Chandra Das, credited with inventing the spongy rosogolla in the 1860s, and the family later pioneered canning the syrup-soaked sweet for long-distance travel. The shop still centers its counter on rosogolla, sponge rosogolla, and rajbhog alongside other milk-based Bengali sweets.
