Shakti - The Sandwich Shop

Welcome to the Sandwich World!
Sandwiches are always the best solution for last minute hunger pangs. Just take some slices of bread, stuff it with anything and voila! Your sandwich is ready. So when we heard about this chain of sandwich outlets, which made the best designed sandwiches served in our city, i couldn't resist to try them out. So we decided to drop into one of its outlets and see what is the buzz all about.


The Fabulous Mexican Sandwich
Entering this outlet of Shakti - The Sandwich Shop, situated just on the opposite side of the famous Law Garden, we were surprised to see not a soul in that outlet. It was small but could accommodate 20-25 people. We quickly got hold of the menu and browsed through it. My hopes began to shatter as there were only a few options on the menu. Hesitantly we ordered the Mexican Sandwich, Cheese Chilli Sandwich and the much-favored Chocolate Sandwich.
The Hot and Sweet Cheese-Chilly Sandwich
We waited patiently for our sandwiches, hoping that they would at least be worth the wait. And it turned out to be more than that. The moment they handed us the Mexican and Chilli Cheese sandwiches, our eyes popped out. Our tongues could no longer resist tasting the gorgeous and tempting sandwiches. I actually had a tough time keeping my friends at bay when I was taking snaps of the sandwiches. The triple layered Mexican Sandwich was flooded with Mexican Mayo, chilly flakes, spices and topped with cheese and creamy mayo. The crunchiness of the grilled bread and the smooth and soft Mexican Mayo did take our taste buds to a mesmerizing trip. The creamy and spicy Cheese Chilli Sandwich was a marvel in itself. The coarsely ground paste of chilli mixed with cheesy mayo and topped with Creamy Mayo and Cheese were relished by us to the fullest. We were literally drooling with cream and mayo and our tummies were enjoying themselves to the maximum. The moment the Chocolate Sandwich descended on our tables, all of us turned out to be “Chocolate-Zombies” (Undead Creatures craving for Chocolates). The sandwich seemed like a chocolatey boat, in which all of us desperately wanted to sail away. The sandwich contained chocolate Cream, Chocolate shavings, Dark Chocolate Syrup, Cheese, Butter and more chocolate. Taking the first bite the chocolate literally exploded in our mouths flowing to the corners of our mouth. The combination of Cheese and Chocolate on slices of bread does sound weird, but the taste is simply heavenly. This is a marvellous treat for all you chocolate lovers.
Behold! The Chocolate Sandwich

So our verdict of this Shakti Sandwich is that, this place is only meant for those with bigger pockets, who do not care about catching some extra calories and who do not mind their hands and lips getting messy. Also, please don’t forget to try the main outlet of Shakti Sandwich at the heart of foodie-heaven, Manekchowk!
