Nahoum and Sons Private Limited Confectioners - Bakery and Cake Shop in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of New Market, Nahoum and Sons is an absolute go-to if you happen to visit Kolkata. It's a historic establishment known for its confectionery and baked items. Don't sleep on the lemon tart; it is legitimately the most beautifully tangy, lemony dessert I've had in ages. Another big shout-out goes to the plum cakes that it's already well-known for--they're decadent and beautifully rich. Do visit this place if you're a big dessert aficionado! 10/10

One of the oldest family run bakeries in kolkota. It is situated in the S.S Hoggs market. There is limited items but seeing the amount of people moving in n out it seems quite popular .we bought sweet buns which we felt were overpriced for Rs 25 each also they were dry . The chocolate eclairs filling was too sweet. But we loved the Almond rings .

Kolkata is full of legendary food places serving more than century and this is another such place. Situated at New Market which is another legendary market for more than 150 years ,its a bakery run by same family since starting,famous for its cakes and other bakery items,worth visit when in Kolkata and love cakes and pastries.

While the store is immensely nostalgic and iconic, the place has become quite unreasonable with its pricing because of the fame it already has. 4 is a bit higher than what I want to give it and 3 is a tad bit lower. So succumbing to the memories of this store, I give it a bittersweet 4. The plum cake, the special fruit cake, the butter cake, the black forest pastry are all very nice (and loaded). The prices are exorbitant but it is okay once in a while if you cannot make it yourself. The not so nice things are the savouries present. Seriously, DO NOT try the savoury bakes. They are just extremely bad and feel cheap. Tip: They have an almond cookie (they are small roundish blobs of crispy chewy goodness). Try it. It is very different and quite nice.

Call me crazy but I actually went out there and ordered all possible cakes so that I could taste all of them and come up with my favourites. They are all priced at 40 rs and it's totally worth it.This is really old confectionery and a really good one. I really love the strawberry pastry, almond tart, lemon tart( incase you like tangy), lemon souffle, baklawa & rich fruit cake( absolutely delish) Do give it a try.

Finally was able to make a visit to this historic place. There seems to be a queue always irrespective of when you visit and wait time is anywhere between 10 mins - 1 hr depending on rush. Personal favorites are almond cookies, fruit cake and garlic bread. The pastries were a bit dry and not upto expectations.

I love bakeries, so when I read about Nahoum's in the New Market area in Kolkata, I knew I had to visit. I'm so glad I did! It is inside the market, but every single seller I asked knew where it was, so I was able to get there easily. It is very popular, with lots of customers being served quickly. The selection is vast and everything looked delicious! Since it is a Jewish bakery, I didn't know what goods to expect. I asked if there were bagels, and the owner said no as if he has answered the question many times before. We bought two cream-filled croissants, two chocolate pastries, and some almond cookies and all were all delicious! Lots of other things were very tempting, so it was hard to choose. In addition to having tasty baked goods, this was a fascinating cultural experience. Highly recommended!

I bought a plain butter cake. Price was reasonable. The cake was tasty and very soft inside. It reminds me of my Didun's (grandmother) cake.
