I keep reading about the continuing surge of chocolate sales in India.  Sold mostly in urban areas, premium chocolate bars like Lindt, Ferrero, and Godiva are flying off the shelves.
 
Some of these chocolate manufacturers are setting up local factories to meet the demand.

India is embracing chocolate with all their senses.  One growing market is the chocolate lounge.  One such recent addition to the Mumbai scene is A Chocolate Affair.  It is more than a café, it is a place to savor all things chocolate. 

The décor is “chocolate,” the aroma is chocolate and, of course, the menu is sinfully chocolate.  They serve chocolate drinks (hot chocolate and milkshakes), chocolate pastries, chocolate doughnuts, chocolate ice cream and - how cool is this - chocolate pizza!

The two specialties of the house are Decadent Chocolate Belgian Waffles and Spanish Churros accompanied by chocolate dip.  Every menu item comes with a milk chocolate or a dark chocolate option.

The owner is from New Zealand and she has seen the success of the chocolate lounge in her own country as well as Australia and England.

I would love to find out more in person, but alas, plans to travel to India are not in the near future for me.  Guess I’ll just live vicariously through their twitter account: http://twitter.com/choc_affair
