The Ideal Plan

Take the Kolkata Durgapur expressway and head to Shaktigarh, yes langcha is a must but you can also savour some authentic Bengali breakfast viz. luchi-alurdom or kochuri-cholar dal before the sweets can lure you. Mihidana & Shitabhog is also a must try, after this sinful breakfast proceed to Bankura. Some shops we suggest for the sweet sin’s are Aroma Restaurant, Charnock’s, Lajawab Restaurent, Food Fantasy, Langcha Plaza, Apna Dhaba, Langcha Kuthi, Mishti Hub, Trinca (Multi-cuisine) and CCD’s on both sides of the road.
