Panditiya Road, near Ballygunge, Kolkata 700029

The taste of tradition, on Panditiya Road

Some snacks get eaten in front of the television. These get put out for guests. Murukku and chakli in jars, dry-fruit cake sweetened with honey instead of sugar, and pure-veg cakes made to order.

What is in the jars

You can tell a serious namkeen by the sound it makes. Every photograph here was taken in the shop, on the shelf it lives on, so the jar in the picture is the jar you will be handed.

Four tall jars of golden murukku and chakli spirals on a glass shelf, each with the maroon Gharana Namkeens label

Namkeens in jars

Murukku, chakli and the cheese jar under a maroon label, crisp enough to hear across the room.

A clear box of dense dry-fruit cake, the maroon Gharana Namkeens label on its lid, held up to the light

Only at Gharana

Dry-fruit cake sweetened with honey, jamun chips under the Gharana label, and the house murukku.

The shop's own printed poster: We are accepting cake orders, for birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions

Custom pure-veg cakes

Birthday, anniversary and occasion cakes, designed with you and made to order.

Sweet, with honey doing the work

The dry-fruit cake is sweetened with honey, not sugar. Dense, dark, heavy with fruit and nuts, and made only here.

It is the box you carry to the house that has already been given every mithai in the city. What honey instead of sugar does and does not mean is answered plainly on the exclusives page.

See what only Gharana makes

Stacked clear boxes of honey dry-fruit cake beside jars of murukku, every one carrying the maroon and gold Gharana label — The maroon boxes on the shelf: honey dry-fruit cake, ready to carry.

One box, or a hundred

Pure-veg snacks are what an office gives at Diwali and what a host puts out at a puja. Bulk orders are taken after a conversation about quantity and dates, and cakes are made to order.

Bulk and corporate orders

Jars and boxes by the dozen for offices, festivals and family functions.

Cakes made to order

Pure veg, designed with you, ready for the day you name.

The snacks shelf

Cookies, crackers, chips, khakhra and cold drinks for the evening.

Inside Gharana Namkeens: a white marble floor and counter, glass shelves of snacks on both sides up to the ceiling, crimson rails and track lights above — Marble underfoot, marble at the counter, and jars up to the ceiling.

A small shop that takes its snacks seriously

Everything here is pure veg. Some of it is made under the Gharana label; the rest is chosen for the same shelf, one packet at a time.
