Paramount



that famous sarbet shop, which can easily fool you with its inconspicuous appearance

stuck in a corner near the of college square pool, it can hardly accommodate about 15 customers. no glitzy ritzy interior, no designer glasses, the waiters are neither swanky nor do they wear fancy cloths...

in short nothing extravagant, a complete rejection of the concept of posh packaging which is so prevalent in our globalised world,......

and that (apart from the sarbets) makes it special.
nothing flashy, just all class
.... it has been like this for ninety years, and we 'college-streeters' wouldn't have it otherwise.

I personally prefer it to the more famous intellectual hangout 'coffee house', mainly because of the handwritten 'no-smoking' sign on the wall.

to left in the picture is 'coco-malai' which they claim, and i totally agree, to be their best creation.
to the right is the drink made of coconut water and in the back is the plain old lassi with no spoons to scoop out treasures.

....gives us some idyllic moments in the midst of summer.
