Very pleasant experience. Went once to their location in one of the Vasants, and then a couple of times to their multistory Khan Market location. We gushed over all of the desserts we tried, though I have to admit that the number is not as high as it should be because one of them – the molten chocolate cake – is so good that we ordered it every single time we went there. The coup de grace has to be the hot chocolate – the single source, luscious, as far away from SwissMiss as you could get, meal-in-itself hot chocolate.
I had a similar transportative experience with it once, in a bar in Bilbao at 3 am (apparently after a night out, drinking hot chocolate is what is done by the Spanish). Anyhow, the quality of the chocolate is unmatched in Delhi – you're talking about Valrhona chocolate here – and the particular one I'd had was spiced, a tiny bit too much, with all kinds of new world spices. As a side note, the food – snacks mostly – that we tried on one occasion was decent; but really, who wants to waste precious appetite on savories when the best desserts in delhi vie for your attention.
And did I mention that a cup of the hot chocolate is a meal in itself? The hardest thing is trying something new in a place where you get so emotionally attached to your favorites.
