Shokal Shondha

Bangladesh


This is a good place to buy yourself a platter of sticky local sweetmeats. It's more clean and hygienic compared to most sweet shops, and the early morning breakfast of dhal and paratha is also eminently hearty. There's no English sign or menu. Look for white lettering on a green sign, under the NCC Bank.
