Their first outlet still
operates successfully on main Zamzama boulevard, but they are now also
doing business in full swing at their new outlet which is on the ground
floor of the burgeoning business center, Dolmen Mall Clifton.
Sadly, the outlet resembles more an airport 'thoroughfare' waiting
lounge than a cafe, as it is open on 3 sides, with the constant heavy
traffic of shoppers and passers-by having a look at what you're eating.
Hardly any privacy.
A furniture store flanks its back side. I must admit that this adds to the overall aesthetics of the ambience. :)
Ouch. The tables are a bit too close together for comfort. Plus, I am
not a big fan of the stiff, uncomfortable chairs in this cafe (which are
the same in design as those in the Dolmen Mall Food Court up on the 3rd
floor).
This outlet of Butler's is right opposite the debut branch of UK's Debenhams.
For hot chocolate, nothing beats this: Butler's Famous Hot Chocolate - Rs 290
Interestingly, the waiter at this outlet took our order by tapping away on his smartphone! :)
The service was prompt and polite. No complains.
As for the hot chocolate itself, I can safely say that hitherto I have
not found a combination of sugar and chocolate of any kind done as well
as Butler's (except perhaps the chocolate cake at Nando's!).
In fact, the only reason we visited this outlet in the first place was
because of my sudden craving for a hot, chocolate drink (which is
thankfully rather rare).
Those were some massive cheese sticks! Finger-licking good (hot and crisp).
Although the price is steep, the quantity was worth it. We also enjoyed the sauces that accompanied them.
Chicken and Mushroom Soup
The bowl seems shallow in the picture, but the soup's quantity was good,
as was its taste and texture. It was so hot that I had to wait a bit
before tasting it. It was creamy and delicious, laced with ample, chunky
mushroom slices.
So lets come towards Butler's Chocolate and enjoy the taste of some delicious foods.
