Chill Out at Shake Square

Walking down the Bunglow Road of the Kamla Nagar market, one can easily miss the small “Shakes Square” amid the other equally bright signs. Once inside, you’ll never forget it. I think this is characteristic to the Keventer’s, the main branch of which at Connaught Place also has the tendency to ne missed but once had a sip of the shakes and a scoop of ice-cream, you are bound to never ever forget.

This bright, small yet cosy shop with the counter, ordering platter on the ground leveland the sitting area over head exudes the flavours of its items on sale in the very way the place is adorned. The choosing platter of ice-creams can actually make you go crazy about what to eat and what to spare for the next time. Trust me there is always a next time with this place.

Have you ever had this nostalgic feel of those very few first years when we used to get milk in big, no huge bottles? Or do you remember Tom, the cat in Tom and Jerry cartoon series ogling at this large bottle of milk? Well, you get to live this when the milk shakes come in similar containers.

The smooth, creamy thick and greatly ice sprinkled crystal, clear glass bottle does real wonders, during the sultry summer days. The blasting effect of the sweet, frothy shake and the crunch of the ice in it can be explained in only one word- ECSTASY or two- PURE ECSTASY! May you be dead sleepy after an 8:40 am lecture or infact be dead tired after any lecture, this place with its amazing range of flavours from chocolate to butterscotch, kesar pista to elaichi; is enough to take you through the day.

Maybe because it is the weekly, if not daily pilgrimage at K.Nags  for DU students and for their prompt service and great ambience, i rate this place a 4/5. I actually (guiltily though) feel like a child in a candy shop in this place.

All of us have a sweet tooth, the degree is what differs. This is exactly what got me to THEOS. The newly renovated theos is nothing less than an entrancing experience, the one which rarely consigns to oblivion.

They have close to 300 dishes to offer in the menu like Ravioli, grills, lasagna, risotto, foccaceria, pizza, pasta, antipasta (starters), zuppa(soups), insalada (salads), sandwiches and crepes just to name a few. It just fills you with plenty craving for Italian food it offers. Being a loyal pasta lover that’s what I tried, ‘Spaghetti nepotilana con polo’ it was. It was perfectly done spaghetti, not over cooked at all. The perfect blend of basil, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, peppercorns, the flavors just wouldn’t wash down. My next objective was the dessert which at the first place got me here. I ordered a red velvet pastry, and I had really high expectations out if this one. And just when it arrived all my doubts were gone. I gazed at its beauty, but then looks are deceptive aren’t they. I digged my teeth deep into the pastry without any ado just to appreciate the alluring masterpiece, YES that’s what it was. The layer of the moist, fluffy and delicious pastry was nothing but an indulgence. It was a divine experience. So much that I couldn’t stop myself from having another one.  All in all this place is a 10/10.

Theos also have a variety of breads, breakfast rolls, macaroons and chocolates to choose from. I am short of words to propound my theos experience, it’s a small wonder.
