Satiating The Sweet Cravings

Cravity is a newly opened trendy café and French patisserie, located in the posh area of Hauz Khas, New Delhi. The outlet was launched on 9th December 2016 and presently the 22 cover sleek café cum patisserie on the ground floor, according to its proprietor Rachit Goil, is attracting brisk footfalls.

The unique name of the outlet made a first impression on me, as did its apparently rustic but inherently classy décor. “The name is derived from two words; craving and cavity,” informed Rachit. It seems in this unique linguistic creativity, the word cavity gets lost in the cravings to create ‘Cravity.’ While enjoying the ‘Prince of Chocolate,’ I realised that it would not be grossly dramatic to assume that while partaking the outlet’s wonderful selection of desserts, one’s apprehensions of getting cavity would be lost in one’s inherent dessert cravings, which Cravity does satiate well.

Prince of Chocolate and Others

“Prince of Chocolate is comprised of 54 percent French chocolate, blended with French cream, mixed with hazelnut paste and French crunchy biscuit; placed on an almond sponge bed,” narrated Sahil Mehta, the Chef at the outlet.

The prefix French on the ingredients is because those ingredients were imported from France. However, though he uses an array of high-end exotic ingredients, Sahil, who is heading Cravity’s busy kitchen operations with his experience, expertise and creativity, views that “Passion is the main ingredient at Cravity.”

Besides Prince of Chocolate, which is definitely the highlight of the desserts section, some of the other delectable desserts at Cravity are Tarte Au Citron, Cravity Decadence, Blueberry Muffin, Chocolate Truffle, Banana and Cinnamon Muffin, Banofee Cup, Beurre Sale Au Chocolat, After Eight Brownie among others.
