If you do not know how to eat a churro, a big instruction on the wall at the Churro 99 which reads ‘Snap, crackle and pop’ will guide you.
A new den for the foodies in the city, Churro 99 claims to be ‘better than a boyfriend’. Located in Siripuram, the brightly lit and vibrantly coloured place is hard to miss. A step inside and you are in the company of loud Hindi Bollywood music and a combination of yellow and green walls.
Introducing churro to the city, the café serves the delicately made sweet sticks with dips like caramel, blueberry, strawberry, nutella and chocolate fudge. However, for those who prefer the deep-fried dough pastry to be crispy, thin and a little less on sweetness, the café wouldn’t be the right place.
The highlight of the place is the live ice cream roll counter. The loud music and conversations on the tables are occasionally interrupted by the sounds of two metal ice cream spatulas clattering together.
After a journey of being beaten and flattened on a steel plate, the ice creams arrive at our table — Alphanso treat and extreme dark devil.
While the Alphanso treat wasn’t much of a treat to the taste buds, the extreme dark devil worked its charm. Bitterness of dark chocolate layered with nutella and topped with white choco chips made the rolls a heavenly combination.
For those who cannot handle the overdose of sweetness, the café also has options for you. From burgers and wraps to momos, the café definitely knows how to spice it up. Chicken wings, chicken lollipop and chicken popcorn are the most preferred spicy starters.
“Earlier when we started off, waffles were the most sold on the menu but over the time people have been preferring momos, especially chicken peri peri momos and mix veg momos,” says K Sunil Kumar, owner of the café.
The café has recently registered itself on Uber Eats and has its whole menu on the app.
