The original Cream Centre (at Chowpatty in Mumbai) is surely one of my most frequented restaurants in Mumbai - right from my childhood days. It also ranks as one of the best restaurants in Mumbai.
While Cream Centre has now brought the franchise to Chennai, and it is definitely a place I would recommend to all, there is definitely something amiss when I compare it with the original Cream Centre at Mumbai.
For starters, the ever-so-popular fresh carrot pickle is completely stale and has thus been sidelined. Then you have the fine dining experience here which is quite the opposite of the fun-filled fast-food service experience that you get in the original Cream Centre. Add to that the lousy service levels at the place unlike the top-class service levels you are dished out in the original.
However, these disappointments should not dampen the spirits of foodies who want to dig their fingers into some great Chana Bhatura and Parathas.
