Chocolateria!!!

I had been meaning to check out this place in Bandra -“Chocolateria San Churro” ever since a friend expressed his craving for chocolate cake and chocolate churros, and about 2 months back I finally got a chance to do so. As soon as I entered, the very aroma of chocolate wafting in the place was enough to put me in a chocolate haze. The interiors of San Churros is perfectly designed to give u the feel, that you have entered a chocolate land. It’s a multi leveled Spanish joint, with the ground floor having a few tables and a large counter showcasing the sinful pleasures of the place - chocolate pastries, truffles and churros, creamy cakes. Wow!!! It’s just chocolate, chocolate and chocolate.

Well, just to give u guys an insight, Churros are Spanish doughnuts. They’re deep fried to make them crunchy, And u enjoy the churros with melted chocolate.

I had been to this place with a friend and we ordered a dessert for each..!! We ordered a 7 layered cake!! A complete bliss! This particular piece was soo huge, that a person alone would find it difficult to finish it all..!! It was indeed very delicious! As the name suggests, it was a 7 layered pastry with layers of chocolate cake, a layer of the rich Spanish chocolate, chocolate mousse, a dark chocolate layer, tiramisu layer, again a layer of chocolate and one of chocolate cake..!! Loved the look of the cake which when served was warm and decorated with thick melted chocolate. It is a huge piece of pastry, but one of the best I’ve had till date.

The Strawberry Bizcocho was another story!! It was delicious right from the first spoon and would want you craving for more. It was rich in fresh strawberries, custard, nuts and chocolate cake and served in a glass. (I’m craving for it already just by thinking about it!!) Beautifully presented and every bite of the combo makes you yearn for more. 

This was just a snapshot my friends. San Churros has an extended menu. Here, you’d get anything you’d ever wish for. The die for chocolates is served in forms of shakes, coffees, hot chocolates, coupled with churros and yummy savories

The coffees, (though I'd like to try one myself) looked as if blended rich in chocolate. The hot chocolate was thick and creamy giving away a strong aroma of the coffee. I was amazed to find different hot chocolates drinks and shakes and coffees with various flavors on the menu. At San Churros, they have experimented with different kinds of flavors originating from different lands and created their own legendary blend. There were various ones like a milk based couvertures, dark hot chocolate (my vote for this), a caramel based hot chocolate, a mocha, an minty infusion and many more flavors. The icy chocolate shakes were not less amazingly appealing. As tempting the hot chocolates are, the coolers were an add on to the menu. The classic shakes are a combination of chocolate with milk and ice-creams and cookies and various fruit flavors as well.

They also have the taste plates in which you are served an entire range of chocolate delights. And last but not the least, this hangout has an assortment of delicious truffles made up of Spanish couverture chocolates!!

But I would always say, that it’s a lil over priced and should go there only on occasions or when you’re actually ready to die for the rich desserts and chocolates!! J

Well just writing this much about San Churros has got me yearning for more chocolate and would love to indulge in some hot chocolate or coffee from the menu!!

So all you chocolate lovers should go there once and try out the chocolate delights there. C u soon..

P.S.: the picture in my 1^st post with the Chocolate Cake is the “7 Layered Cake!!” J
