Chennai can be a heavenly city for carnivores, with all that splendid fresh seafood being pulled in each day from the Chennai coast but when it comes to vegetarians, it doesn’t have too much to offer. Pure vegetarians are often the ones left out when dining out for a fine meal. There is not much fine dining menus have to offer for them besides, few pastas, curries or sandwiches. But there is one place that takes care of vegetarians very well i.e. ‘Cream Centre’. This popular restaurant brand has hundreds of outlets throughout the country and Chennai alone has four outlets. Opt for the one on 2nd Main Road at RA Puram, which is tucked between Kaliappa Hospital and Park Sheraton. Families and especially Jain community are Cream Centre’s regular patrons.
Cream Centre is one of the most popular eateries in Chennai and is always bursting with activity regardless the time of the day or week. This sought-after dining destination is much preferred by the large groups as the place cannot be too expensive plus it is pretty spacious. A wonderful multi-cuisine menu awaits you at Cream Centre, which is a mélange of North Indian, Italian and Mexican cuisines. Keep in mind that the menu is completely vegetarian but you’re in for a treat anyways. Begin with, khau galli vada, big paneer tikka, chowpatty ragda pattice, onion rings, American corn cheese balls, Italian herbed chilli cheese toast, cheesy nachos, chilli cheese maska pav and dahi batata puri. For a more substantial fare munch on, Bombay double decker sandwich, spicy sa po schezwan vegetable sizzler, dum matka peshawari subz, Punjabi masala khichadi and hakka paneer.
Cap off this glorious meal with a decadent dessert like, a brownie which sizzler, before heading home. Cream Centre is not too expensive, which allows you to indulge freely. Cream Centre is created in a tasteful and refined way. Décor is simple yet it is fashioned in a way to evoke feeling of warmth, elegance and comfort.
