After bagging international awards and recognitions from their infancy in Hyderabad, Manam Chocolate has now driven their bandwagon all the way to a 3,200 sqft space in the capital city. Perched in Eldeco Centre in Saket, the tall glass hub wafts the incredible aroma of molten chocolate coursing through its exposed thick pipes, zigzagging across ceilings and walls.
A sneak peek into the newly opened Manam Chocolate in Delhi
Crafted from fine Indian cacao, they take shape in delicious servings of bonbons, pralines, viennoiserie, barks, gianduja, spreads, and so much more. The extensive acreage offers a curated chocolate gifting station, a pâtisserie, a beverage bar, a live chocolatier, a classroom ready to disseminate information through sessions in reference to their craft chocolate and even a ‘make your own tablet’ section! They are even in the works of launching their lip balm made from cacao butter.
With the beverage bar enticing with its 30 chocolate-based drinks, you can try experiential options like the no-milk orange iced chocolate or a shot of dark chocolate with cold-pressed orange juice. The bar further produces plant-based drinks, eight kinds of hot chocolate and indulgent shakes like Raspberry Brownie Fudge and cold lattes infused with dark or white chocolate. Their cafe menu spans everything from breakfast waffles, egg benedicts and creamy hummus and falafels to Spaghetti Gongura Aglio Olio, and Mangro Prawn Curry.
Their bite-sized collection of chocolates comes in heaps of choices- Malabar 69, Hazelnut pralines, Lavender Earl Grey, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Truffle almonds, white rose and raspberry, candied orange slices- and we have barely scratched the surface!
Embodying a farmer-first philosophy, the brand has ties with 100-plus farmer communities nurturing quality cacao as they seek to escape the industry’s staple standardisation of the diverse plant. From roasting to refining to conching, Manam deep dives into the distinct flavour of cacao in order to make way for infinite paradigms of a standard chocolate bar. So far, 250-plus concepts have been launched across 45 categories! Shipping PAN India, you can check out more about their products here.
