Hi foodies, today I’ll be doing a food review of a fast-food restaurant near Vyom Prasth, GMS Road. They are well known for their pocket-friendly pricing, youthful ambiance, serving size & elaborate menu.
Come, let’s take a closer look!
Location

Since the restaurant is located along the main road, it has very limited space available in and around it for parking purposes. The parking situation is usually better during the daytime in general and on weekdays, but the area predictably gets crowded during the evenings and at weekends, as that is when the restaurant gets most of its customers, hence finding a good parking spot during those peak hours can prove to be quite challenging for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers alike, so please plan your visit accordingly.

Ambience
The ambiance of the café was quite colorful and vibrant in look and had a pleasant, youthful vibe to it. The café was very well decorated with the help of quite a few decorative elements like aesthetic bamboo fences and chairs, artificial grass patches, vibrant colors and textures painted on the walls, along with various potted plants as well, to help give the place a livelier and fresher feel, and I think they had done a great job in that regard.
Unfortunately, the overall maintenance and upkeep of the restaurant left a lot to be desired, as I found the chairs and tables in particular, placed in the restaurant, to be unkept and in need of cleaning, thereby giving the café a very unprofessional feel. Hopefully, they will work on it as soon as possible to ensure no other future customers are put off by them.
Quality Of Food (Taste, Service & Presentation)
The service of the café was quite quick and efficient. All the dishes that I had ordered were prepared in good time and presented well.
The service staff was not in any kind of uniform, but were nevertheless warm and courteous towards me, and were also on hand to provide an answer to any of my queries regarding the restaurant itself, its menu, and the dishes on offer.
Dishes Ordered
To begin my meal, from their beverages section, I ordered one of their best-selling shakes, the Chocolate Shake.
For my main course, I ordered one of their most popular sandwiches, the Corn Cheese Sandwich.
Chocolate Shake
First up came one of their best-selling shakes, the chocolate shake.
The chocolate shake was served chilled in a designer disposable glass and looked great. Although I liked its overall presentation style on the whole, it did however come across as slightly clumsy, and I felt it is something the café can definitely try and improve upon.
Coming to the taste of the shake, it was frothy and sweet in terms of taste but wasn’t prepared to be super thick in consistency as seen served in other popular restaurants, rather I found it to be on the thinner side and not at all heavy on the stomach. They had used a generous amount of rich chocolate powder in making the shake and one could clearly get its delectable flavor and taste in every sip.
Moreover, the modest quantity of a rich and dark variety of chocolate sauce that they had drizzled on top of the shake wasn’t there only for the sake of presentation, as when mixed in with the drink, it further enhanced the chocolaty flavors already present in the shake.
If you’re looking for a chocolate-based beverage to have on a hot summer’s day that is quite chocolaty in flavor, sweet in taste, and also not heavy on the stomach, then this shake might be a great option for you to try out.
Corn Cheese Sandwich
Next up came one of their most popular sandwiches, the corn cheese sandwich.
Four triangle-shaped, grilled sandwiches were served on a stylish, textured black-colored serving plate and looked quite appetizing. Moreover, a few tomato sauce sachets were provided with the dish as well, for the convenience of the customers.
The sandwich was crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside, and although its taste was on the simpler side, it nonetheless tasted great.
Starting with the bread slices, they were well-grilled from the outside, thereby giving them a crunchy texture. The chef could’ve definitely used fresher slices of bread for this dish, as a few of the slices I got were falling apart slightly and were quite crumbly too.
Moreover, to help give the bread slices more flavor and to keep them moist, they applied some tomato sauce on them. The tomato sauce regrettably didn’t add much in terms of flavor to the taste of the sandwich as I found it to be quite basic in taste, and I wish they’d gone for a more flavorsome variety of sauce, like some sweet chilli sauce or even some fresh coriander and mint green chutney, which would have helped enhance the overall taste of the sandwich massively.
Coming to the filling of the sandwich, a couple of flavorsome ingredients were arranged in between the crunchy bread slices like a generous quantity of soft corn kernels and a rich and creamy variety of fresh white cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was super creamy and thick in texture, adding a delectable premium flavor to the sandwich, whereas the soft corn kernels added a lovely corn flavor to the entire sandwich.
Lastly, to give the entire filling a nice tangy flavor, everything was seasoned well with the help of a modest sprinkle of pizza seasonings, which on the surface may not look like a big addition, but it was nevertheless a necessary one to tie all the flavors together.
I’ve had the pleasure of having some great sandwiches over the years from some well-known food outlets, and in comparison, this particular sandwich might come across as slightly simple in terms of taste, but it nevertheless is a great option for anyone looking to have a wholesome sandwich, packed with cheesy goodness, at a very affordable price.

To Eat or Not?
With its lively, youthful ambiance, great food, courteous service, and attractive menu, this café is a great option for anyone looking to hangout and indulge in a wide range of delicious fast-food dishes like shakes, sandwiches, and pasta, with your loved ones, at extremely pocket-friendly prices.
Yes, they can definitely work on a couple of important aspects like firstly, improving the overall upkeep of the cafe, to give the outlet a cleaner and more hygienic feel. Moreover, I would also like to see them try and improve the overall flavor and presentation of their dishes further, to ultimately give the customers an experience worth remembering.
Overall, I had a reasonably enjoyable experience visiting this relatively new café and I’m eagerly looking forward to visiting them again soon in the near future and trying many more delectable fast-food dishes on offer from their menu.
This café has most of the important elements in place already which a good fast-food restaurant must have, but with a few necessary tweaks to their ambiance and food, they can truly become a great place for people, especially students, to relax and grab a quick bite at very attractive rates.
