Cafe Glitterati - Right in the middle of a mall!

Cafe Glitterati is a lovely little cafe located on the ground floor of the Express Avenue Mall. What is different here is that they have made it up from an open space by adding glitter in the form of it's decor comprising of soft cushioned red and gold embossed sofa settings which are very comfortable and a stack of tray containing some of their signature dessert creations.

It gives a very favourable vibe and appeal and feels like an idyllic outlet to gulp down beverages, munch a bunch of short eats and cuddle up exotic dessert delicacies. The menu is a very simple one pager consisting of all the items. They do not have non veg and all of the stuff are veg with egg added to the mix especially on the dessert frontage.

I was called for an invite to give a verdict about the place. I must say it was a very nice engaging experience. I immensely enjoyed most of the things which I consumed. The strawberry shake was a delightful thirst quencher having the right amount of milk and froth. The momo was a rather surprising twist in a cafe such as this but I enjoyed gobbling this down with the spinach and spicy chutney which proved such able foil. On the pasta side had a crack at both the red sauce Arabbiatta as well as the white sauce based Primavera verdi e crema and they were well delivered. The toppings were sufficient with the sauce being thick and the construction overall was good. The red saucy however felt a wee bit better, the white sauce lacked a little bit on flavour. The stand out however on the savoury side was the delightful quesadillas. They were soft in texture containing an aromatic mix of items largely of kidney beans and veggies beautifully pureed and it just felt so wonderful in the mouth and bang on right on all areas.

On the dessert draw, the waffles felt passable but it was more of the routine stuff and I didn't find anything different. It did taste decent though. However the cakes in the form of belgian chocolate truffle and the salted white caramel were absolutely ravishing. It was simply superb softly pruning the layerings one by one and putting them onto your tongue. The french based pastry was equally good.

Looking at it on a holistic picture, Cafe Glitterati appeased me and I found the experience quite nice. The service duration seemed ideal and it felt right on most counts. I wouldn't comment on the rates as it was over an invite but yes I would like to mention that for the quality of stuff on offer, it seems justifiable. If you're in and around Express Avenue and looking to chill over for a bit, Cafe Glitterati seems to be a perfect destination to head to.
