The led lights propitious in 3D wall panels overflow The Pabulum (Latin: food) with a violet feverishness that spills on to a street. Standing subsequent to a chemist and a stone’s chuck divided from a farsan store, a QSR off SV Road in Santacruz, that promises ‘fiery fries’ and ‘sexy shakes’, resembles an visitor spaceship.

Our analogy isn’t distant off a symbol as we step in and overhear a prime couple, extraordinary to know what Nacho Fries and Cheesy Potato Twisters indeed mean. A millennial helming a use hire explains a dishes. He points to staffers operative in a bot-like fashion, adding dollops of Mexican salsa to golden fries and rupturing potatoes to emanate spirals on a hang in an open kitchen. The integrate places a sequence and moves to one of a dual dining counters in a space, launched final month by 3 foodpreneurs – 21-year-olds Himanshu Jain and Mayank Jain, and their crony Deepak Joshi, 26, who runs a catering business.

The menu is The J-meets-Keventers-meets-Irla’s Twisted Potato. It facilities French fries served with a horde of vegetarian toppings – from aioli garlic to tandoori mayo and Schezwan sauce. They also offer Jain fries done with tender banana. From blueberry and rose to popcorn and Parle G, an array of mixture make their approach into a shakes, along with 4 varieties of twisters.

Death By Chocolate

A-peeling twist
We start with a Peri Peri Twister (’69), a 12-inch prolonged hurricane of sharp flavours. The potato turn – deep-fried and frail though non-greasy – is piped with a fiery, paprika-and-garlic infused mayonnaise instead of a powdered piquancy mix. This enhances a stick, where a mayo’s slight spice balances a heat. We rinse it down with Popcorn Caramel Shake (‘149), a lip-smacking, tawny smoothness of a munchie with only a right spirit of burnt brownish-red sugar.

The BBQ Cheese Fries (’99) underline crisp-till-golden, starchy potato fries doused with a peppery, somewhat honeyed barbeque salsa with an oh-so-good smoked ambience that balances a sharpness of a cheese sauce. Our crony remarks, “They are improved than a ones during The J.”

The Poppers Fries (‘149) contain 3 deep-fried cheese balls perched on a bed of fries, doused in chilli garlic salsa and mayonnaise. While a tangy-spicy salsas element a dish, a poppers are underwhelming, and stodgy.

Try a dessert fry
Heading for a carb pile-up by now, we collect a good consummate – Death By Chocolate (‘149). Coated with inexhaustible amounts of Nutella and chocolate sauce, a crisp, unsalted fries, surfaced with grated cheese, make for a good dessert. We exit with a guarantee to return, once we’re marinated of a potato hangover.
