“Creating a new chocolate culture in India†was inscribed on the back of a t-shirt, which soon got dissolved into the crowd at Lulu. We made our way to the Chocolate Room, feeling like Charlie walking into the Chocolate Factory, to find out about this slogan. The pleasant aroma of brewed chocolate whiffed across its precinct and notified of its Australian legacy. Beautiful gift boxes were lined up on the counter along with packs of Belgium chocolate and tempting chocolate cakes drizzled in more chocolate that would have your senses on a roll. Tilt your head and you will come across the footsteps they had taken in different countries around the world and this chocolaty map will be an assurance of your ultimate satisfaction.
Having more than 100 outlets across India, Chocolate Room has a strong foundation with loyal customers. This brand has created a pool of dedicated chocolate lovers that could turn this into a popular hangout in Kochi. Mr. Sathish Kumar, the franchise owner, is meticulous about his customers and service. When you go deep into the Chocolate Room, you could go on savouring the dishes one by one till they close their outlet, which is why they are planning to increase the seating space. If you are a banana lover, how about trying grilled banana with chocolate sauce and vanilla pancakes? Just say Choco n Tropo and voila. Hold your partner’s hand and mesmerise them with a choco-Taj Mahal. Satisfy all your chocolate cravings at the Chocolate room. Customers prefer dine-in and the most popular dishes among the Kochiites are chilly hot chocolate and dark chocolate fondue. The melted chocolate along with brownies, granny smith apples, marshmallows and bananas definitely elevates your senses. Salvador Dali would have painted the ‘Persistence of Memory’ again if he ever had a chance to eat a chunk of chocolate from this Room. But the real Salvador Dalis here are, Chef Shajohn, a chocolate art expert and Chef Seena Augustine, who works magic on intricate coffee designs. Mr. Sathish is the new Willy Wonka of Kochi, who is all set for a feast of chocolate and a new chocolate culture at the Chocolate Room.
