This iconic joint in College Street is close to completing a hundred years. Started by freedom fighter Nihar Ranjan Majumdar in 1918, Paramount used to be a facade for a revolutionary den — legends like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Pulin Behari Das and Satin Sen held secret meetings using the shop as a camouflage. Sharbat was an excuse – the real agenda was nurturing the Swadeshi movement. Apart from political leaders, Paramount has hosted Kazi Nazrul Islam, SD Burman, Satyajit Ray, Uttam Kumar, Suchitra Sen… the list of stalwarts is endless. Have the daab sharbat, cocoa malai, green mango, and the vanilla sharbat. You can carry bottled sharbat syrups home too.
Price: From INR 40.
