It’s a legendary confectionery shop that was started by a Jewish family {it is named after them} more than a century ago and has become one of the most popular food stops in the city. During Christmas, people throng here for the their rich fruit and plum cakes and Easter eggs (ironic that a Jewish bakery is now known for Christmas cakes and Easter eggs!). It was set up in 1902 by Nahoum Israel Mordecai who came to Kolkata from Baghdad. Till today, they have held on to the teakwood furniture,  glass-fronted display cases and cash till that they started with.

Cost: About INR 30.
