Surjya Kumar Modak sweets shop is famous for ''Jolbhora Sandesh''. It is the one of the oldest sweets shop in Chandannagar. Creating an oasis by pouring Rose Syrup inside the sandesh was the main invention of Surjya Kumar Modak in the year 1818. ... West Bengal in East Indian period. The name of the newly invented sandesh was Jalbhora Talsansh Sandesh. Now it more popular by name Jalbhora Sandesh. Surjya Kumar Modak also invented Motichur Sandesh , Aam Sandesh , Khirpully Sandesh .
They have many sweets variety and maintain a very high standard in terms of quality.
The inventor of Jolbhora Sandesh...they provide some of the quintessential classics of Bengal sweets.... I'd highly recommend this place...they have 3 outlets one at Mankundu station Road, one beside chandannagore GT Road and one at Chandannagar Barabazar...
Famous for their Jolbhora Sandesh it is one of the oldest shops in chandannagar (basically everyone over here knows about this place). They offer a variety of sweets and maintain a very high standard in terms of quality. They have 4-5 outlets around this area (two of them are in 5 minutes walking distance). If you like sweets then you can definitely visit this place. Although all the outlets don't keep the same variety of sweets, this one on GT Road is probably the best and the oldest shop.
The famous sweet shop at Chandannagar khown to be the actual creator of "Jholbhora" sweet. Amazing spread of variety of sweets mostly made of various forms of milk. Unmatchable flavour and taste.
Considering the variety , quality and innovative ideas it is no doubt the no 1 sweet shop in Chandannagar-Bhadreswar area.
They have introduced the famous Jal-Bhora Sandesh. Even these days they are introducing new and unique Sweets every year. Their quality is unparalleled. Jal-Bhara, Chocolate Rosogolla, and other sandesh items are their best products.
Inspite of all these, prices of most of the sweets are costly and everyone can not afford the same.
Lot of delicious options. Your mind will be puzzle which one to leave or pick.
I took the Gurer (jaggery) Jal bhora in 3 different size. Apart from that i took some of the sweet which has a layer of khir, or cream. Different flavored rassogilla. You will also find other regular sweet. It's on the Main road. Traveling by car is challenging.
If you have to purchase in bulk or gifting then I'll strongly recommend. I'll return to this shop to try further option.
Many locals would recommend you this place if you ask for good mithai (sweets) shops. The establishment is impressive and impressive is array of sweets they have. Going by the crowds thronging the place you can correctly assume it is popular place, Even locals , and a number of those i talked to, admit prices are high and popular sweet shops are much hyped charging irrational premium on their sweets. Same stuff, rather better one, is available at number of small tucked away sweet shops, they claim. Only if you know some local n who can guide you to those hidden gems! Till then, happy shopping of Bengali Sweets at such places offering good variety and good stuff at a premium many people appear willing to bear!!!
Cons- casual staff behaviour, high price and lack of in-store convenience.
Pros- shop is offering Probably one of the best tastes and purity.
A must try sweet shop 😍.
One of the finest places that you can satisfy your sweet tooth, the quality is just top notch. Their speciality lies in their roshomalais. Especially try out the baked roshomalai and the rajo roshomalai, a never before experience for me and this got me hooked. Also they have a lot of sandesh and other desserts to try out. Skip on the roshogollas though, they were pretty average. Most of the sweets are Rs. 25 and above, but they are truly worth their price and worth the journey if you are coming from a bit far away. This is somewhere I am looking forward to visit again soon, they got me hooked.
Excellent place for authentic bengali sweets. Little bit expensive , but its a brand. Worth paying.
If you are after finest Jolbhora Sandesh, this is the right place for you. Not only this, they have taken the sweet making art to a different level. Dont miss the photos.
When you make Jalbhara of such class, nothing else matters. Service, atmosphere, etc are not the best. But what you get here, especially the varieties of Jalbhara, are undoubtedly way above the rest.
Apparently they are the creators of Jolbhora sandesh, and if so they have done the most fantastic job at it. More so, they have multiple varieties of sweets and all that I tasted were very high quality.Price is obviously on the higher side, although that is justified by the I Love SKM banner they have installed at their house/shop(which are generally used to reflect cities or constituencies😄)

Various types of delicious sweets are available.
One of the most famous destination for 'jolbhora talsas' misty. During winter, the inner juice is replaced by molasses which tastes fantastic. In one word, one can have awesome feeling while having this sweet. Those the outlet has other sweets as well, but it is known for the one mentioned. This outlet is there by the GT Road and is walkable from Baburbajar more and around 5..8 mins biking distance from Jyotir more. But the outlet is small and there is not much space for the visitors. The sweets are extremely costly compared to size. May be the minimum size of the jolbhora sweet starts from 40/- which is really exorbitant.

The famous old shop of Surya Modak, famous for its Jalbhora. Has a large variety of sweets, but yes most of the items are over-priced.
Delicious sweets. Jalbhara is really awesome. Rosomadhuri, Baked Rosogolla, Makha Sandesh are also excellent.
But price of Jalbhara is high.
