My favorite Chocolate dessert is ‘Chocolate Kunafa’ at gourmet baklava located at Banjara Hills. They are many other Middle Eastern sweet delicacies but ‘Chocolate Kunafa’ is the best from the aroma to the taste it is droolworthy. Apart from this you can also try chocolate desserts at Concu, Feranoz, Labonel & funnel hill creamy. I bet you won’t be disappointed. Thank Me Later!

I have been a sweet tooth all my life. I loved chocolates so much that I had 4 filing in the teeth at the age of 13. I always need something sweet after dinner. Right now, my to-go favorite dessert is Dark chocolate fudge and nut ice cream from Shahi Durbar Ice Cream Factory. It is the creamiest ice cream with fudge and nuts infused into it, just make it perfect. The taste palette isn’t extremely sweet, it’s quite light and that makes it even better!

Funnel hill creamery is a very decent cafe located in Jubilee Hills. We have visited the place multiple times just because of its great options in desserts. Must-try desserts would be triple chocolate cheesecake and triple chocolate waffle. The cheesecake was outstanding, the chocolate was smooth with the right texture and the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely recommend trying Triple Chocolate cheesecake as it is worth tasting.

Chocolate is definitely the way to my heart. My go-to chocolate dessert is the Chocolate Dirt Pile from everyone’s favorite, Farzi Cafe. I love how this creation leaves my taste buds awestruck and me completely speechless. It has lots of chocolate ingredients in different forms, most importantly lots of love. It is crunchy, soft, and creamy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some chocolate sauce. It is worth every single bite. Every time I crave a dessert, the next minute I find myself pouring over the Chocolate Dirt Pile. Wishing truckloads of chocolate to you too!

Over the years, people have experimented with flavors and given chocolates a gourmet avatar. More commonly known as artisanal chocolates, chocolatiers are getting unbelievably creative and experimental with their infusions. Dive into the wonderful world of chocolates, by visiting “Zuci”, at Road No. 46, Jubilee Hills. Zuci offers a range of artisanal chocolates, with exquisite combinations, whose concoctions will leave one’s mind boggled and tongues salivating. As I entered, what grabbed my attention instantly is the array of chocolates on the display. Adding to the artisan chocolates, they have dessert Jars, Exotic Fruit Tart, Eclairs, savory items, and beverages like coffee, exotic tea, and mocktails, among others. Not only did they nail the dessert section, but also their savory feasts give intense joy. My favorite is their signature 12-layered rich chocolate cake, and trust me, it is no less than heaven for a Chocolate lover. The chocolate flavor with silky-smooth texture, subtle sweetness, and pleasant chocolate aroma, was irresistibly delicious. No matter what type of chocolate treat you are fantasizing over, make sure you are getting a heavenly dose of some of their eclectic mix of handcrafted chocolates, by visiting Zuci.
