Mexicaaaano
Okay! This is purely my ignorance that I didn't know about Cream Centre.
A friend introduced me to this place. He said Cream Centre. I said what? At dinner time, Cream Centre? You've got to be kidding me-I need proper food. He laughed at me and said this is a proper dining place. Whoa! Cream Centre? Dining Place? Hmmm! Ice cream should be what they would be focussing on, I assume. I just had too many things on my mind.
Even from outside, as I saw, it WAS infact looking like an ice cream outlet. I had to wait and I waited.
Entering the place, the place made me change ideas. The menu wasn't very helpful for me to decide what I really wanted and the waiters were even worse in explaining to me what each of the dishes really was. My friend finally resolved to ordering Veg Noodles Sizzler and I just had to follow that blindly. When we were served with what we had ordered, boyyo! This is a damn good place. Drinks amaze me even more. Lovely. Everything that is food and drinks is more than what you can really expect.
Let down-From the name, how it appears to the passerby on the main road to the waiters/bearers everything that doesn't sound food is a let down. You wouldn't go there if you hadn't tasted their food or if you weren't told by someone about them, would you? I hadn't!
I don't know! As long as I get that tasty and great food, I really don't mind!

Just another Diner!!
The name cream center might give you a hint of an ice cream parlor but you are mistaken. It is a New Yorker replica. To begin with the menu, there is not a simple healthy option in it. All you can find is cheese. The soups are the same old boring ones. The nachos are not even close to being authentic. The bean sauce is like the normal Rajma made at home. The cheese sauce is good but gets cloying after awhile and where is the sour cream? I find it ridiculous that they serve sizzlers as appetizers. To make things worse the quantity of rice served along with it is so petite. I doubt if cream center's customers want to maintain a size 0. The same old onion rings, fries, capsicum rings, cheese balls (which is never available) it seems like a complete cliché. Coming to the pastas. I had the experience of trying the world's worst arrabiatta sauce. They should have named it marinara sauce. I guess the chef is not really aware of the difference. The white sauce is just as boring as everything else. The paneer paratas are truly terrible. And if you have a dying wish please do try the channa battura. The main course sizzlers are bearable but don't try any of the Lebanese or the Mexican ones. The desserts are okay but not great. The service is decent. The only thing nice about the place is the pretty good ambience. And ya not to forget, the prices are exorbitant. Not a multi-cuisine that I would personally recommend.

A notch below match the original Cream Centre
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.

Sizzling Expensive
How do people get to this place? It is not quite visible from the main road and anyone could easily miss it. But this multicuisine? restaurant has good Mexican food (but dont expect the waiter to pronounce it rite for you, we sell them we dono how to call them tho!). The nachos are good and the best part is the drinks, they are absolutely incredible. We tried all possible sizzlers and they were served so well and appetizing to even look at. The dessert sizzler was good too but too sweet to handle. It all goes well until the bill arrives, it is an expensive place alrite but doesnt really matter on special occasions. Nice place to have fun for treats with big gangs.
