Situated on the same floor as the Food Court in Meenaxi mall, Swensen's is the quintessential American ice-cream parlor, ideal for those some conversations and interesting collections of icecreams and sundaes. Perfect location in fact - close to the exits and the lifts, but never out of sight. It almost beckons you to enter as you get out of the food court after a meal.
This outlet is fairly large and is not a self-service place, unlike most other parlors. A little on the classier side of Ice-cream places, you get a fancy menu, have someone come and take orders and make suggestions and also get water at the table :)
This outlet in particular, by virtue of the high floor has a nice set of tables with a good view, by the large windows, making it perfect for that rainy evening.
There are a multitude of options on the menu, including the Giant Chocolate Earthquake - yes, it is as big as it looks and it will fill you up like a meal! There is in fact a page dedicated to chocolate lovers, a variety of combinations including fudge, different flavours in chocolate, cream, etc. Would definitely recommend the Sticky Chewy Chocolate (Pic attached) or the Triple Choc Ring-a-Ding or even the Big Rock Chocolate Mountain. With the extremely cute and juicy cherry covered in chocolate on top, it is a hit from the first bite.
The plain flavours are also in fact quite tasty. Including the fruit ones like the mango or the strawberry. I generally pick chocolate, but have had the chance to taste some other sundaes including the Sweet Princess and the Triple Jam. Their fruit sauces are as excellent as the chocolate ones. They also do have some ice-cream cakes, but you don't get a standalone slice and need to buy the whole cake, which is a little sad if it is just one or two of you itching to try that cake.
Price-wise, the place is a little on the higher side. Take the price on the menu and add about 25% to get your final bill.
A refreshing change from the regular tasting ice-creams, a perfect place to visit to end that special date, interesting place to meet someone for conversation over ice-cream instead of the regular coffee shops.
