INDISKA MAGIC: CHEERY PLACE FOR CHATS, SWEETS and savouries
Hello Friends,
In Nungambakkam, towards the Chetpet side, we have another cozy little place a quick vegetarian bite. Sizzling hot samosas, authentic chats, succulent rosogullas, creamy lassis, crispy murukkus, a variety of Arabic sweets and sev lure you at Indiska Magic. It is tough to resist all their delicious tuff on display.
Indiska Magic is an outlet by the Cream Centre group (popular restaurant chain) to cater to the Chennai chaat lovers. While the main Cream Centre restaurants serve, rotis, parathas and pilafs, this place specializes in chaats and in fact they have chefs from Delhi who are experts at making chaats – the real way.
Having started operations in January this year Indiska Magic’s USP apart from the chaats is the Arabic sweets that they offer. They are probably the only place in Chennai who serve a wide variety of Arabic sweets, and ofcourse they have the usual fare of Indian sweets like gulab jamuns, ras malai etc. All of them looked amazing and smelled delicious. As I was in the store watched a few ladies come in to buy from their savory collection as well. Neatly stacked containers display an enticing array of Indian savouries.
Chaats are served from 1.00 pm in the afternoon and I was mildly surprised to see Tawa pulao and Parathas as part of the menu. Am guessing they are the only additions to this quick bite menu, so if you are looking to stop over from work and gets some light dinner with chats as your main course – then go for it at Indiska Magic. As far as I know there is no great logic behind the name Indiska Magic, and they have a well-dressed elephant as their logo!
