Yummmmmm 2012-01-21
Went to this place after watching a movie at Satyam. Ordered Blueberry Cheese Cake, Le Chocolatier and Coffee Tiramisu. Loved all three. Blueberry Cheese cake was one of the best I've had in Chennai. Le Chocolatier was a full on chocolate dessert and every chocolate lover would love it. Cofee Tiramisu was light and perfect. Overall nice desserts but a a bit expensive. -

Quite impressed.. 2011-11-28
I am a dessert junkie and hunt for the best dessert places in every town I travel to, especially in Italy or France. I was quite impressed with the desserts at Ecstasy - the menu is clearly experimental (with flavours and shapes) and one should not look for the perfect example of a cheesecake or a madeleine cake here. The flavours are quite unique and subtle and thus likely to be shunned by customers who expect regular fare, strong flavours and big portions.
I tried the crepes stuffed with hazelnut cream and found the taste to be very innovative. Europeans usually go heavy on the Nutella,... read more -

Artificial 2011-06-13
After a movie at Satyam, we decided to try some dessert as it was late afternoon.
Blueberry Cheese cake was okay. But not much cheese in it.
Red fruit had more added ingredients or flavors.
Looked sooo artificial.
Ganache not having much Chocolate flavor. Too much of cream which is not the real Ganache we had overseas.
Very expensive for an avearge food and worst service.
Walk-ins are very less for a dessert outlet in such a busy complex. -

Aptly named 2011-06-10
The place is calm, quiet and a welcome break from the madness that is Sathyam Cinemas. The minimalist, white decor puts the focus of the entire place on the dessert bar which is exactly where we want it to be.
Ecstasy ascribes to the designer food philosophy and the desserts are all dressed up. Vibrant colours, cute designs and edible accessories: if nothing else, the food looks fabulous. I'm always wary of things that look too good and approached the desserts with caution. The good news is that most of them taste as nice as they look.
The Duja is a basil, lemon and chocolat... read more -

great tiramisu....exotic desserts ..... 2010-12-06
visited chennai over the weekend...(my sis and kids (big time foodies) strongly recommended Escape....especially the "FLAK"...
Have to admit, the Flak (chocolate with a hint of caramel and a crispy crust with a side serving of vanilla icecream)was a bit too rich for my liking (having said that, sis , nephew and niece feed on it)....but i did love the crunchy crust ...my guess -it's made out of finely powdered ferrero rocher...
the tiramisu was lovely....coffee tiramisu not as good as the plain tiramisu....
for those who love to experiment with food...this place is definitley worth... read more -

No ways! 2009-06-07
What's the hype about? Not nice flavors nor exotic concoctions. Parking was hopeless. Had to pay for the lil 30 min we were there. Felt like they were making back the bucks they spent on the interiors. Other local restaurant desserts are much better! -

Sugar high!! 2009-02-04
I'm new to Chennai & although I've tried a number of places here, Ecstasy was one place which impressed me.
I like the decor..simple & minimalist. Like the ambience too. The place has a very classy feel to it.
The tiramisu over here is highly recommended. Its smooth, flavours are distinct & tastes amazing. I've also tried 'Walu' which in lay man's terms is apple pie with a scoop pf ice cream...tastes pretty good but nothing extra ordinary. Coffee here is good. Portions are pretty small & prices are a little on the higher side but Ecstasy is definitely worth a visit. -

'Little' ecstasy 2008-06-16
I blindly decided to venture this place based on two facts, 1. its inside sathyam cinemas and 2. the review below! Maybe I expected a lot too much but the place didnt stay up to a 5 star rating on burrp! The ambiance is elegant and chic definitely, but the place is too small and so is the items on the menu and so is the quantity served.
The waiters/waitresses are too sweet, much sweeter than the apricot icecream that almost tasted sour! She asked me to try the ginger or vinegar(balsamic) ice cream, wondering how it wouldve been if apricot was so. All in the name of 'exotic'! The milk... read more -

C'est extrordinaire! 2008-01-15
While my knowledge of french is admittedly limited, I'd like to believe I am something of a dessert connoisseur. So when I heard about the relatively new "Ecstacy" I had to try it out.
Having grown up in Chennai (when it was still Madras!), I must point out that desserts were never this city's best offerring (not counting the excellent Grand Sweets Badam Halwa ofcourse!). Yes we had the ever popular Snowfield (now a dessert "PUB" I hear? No comment!) and the ice cream sundaes at AVM Dasa and Eden were considered quite the delicacy, but somehow dessert as I knew it (atleast when I lived... read more -
