ECHOES - EAT ENGAGE ENERGIZE


I read a very prudent statement once :
"Listen with your eyes, talk with your hands"



Themed around the concept of " motivation", Echoes has supported a truly constructive initiative by employing all the staff who are differently able such as Deaf and Mute. It has switches at every table and when you toggle the switch, it lights up a bulb and alerts the waiter that you need him at the table. 
Cue cards at every table reads "Water Please" "Call the Manager" "Bill Please" etc. which makes communication with the management efficient. 










Echoes has a variety of dishes which are specialized with individual codes. With regular fare of pastas and nachos and oreo shakes, this time we resolute for all the chef specials *grinning* 


Entree -



We first ordered "Mexican Cowboy Cone (Non-veg)"   Purely made with pita bread shaped in a conical structure which was stuffed with chicken, corns and mayo. The filling had a strong taste of mayonnaise but the pita cone was doughy and hard to chew. All in all, it was just average.









Later we ordered "Cheesy Mushroom Cigar Rolls"  Such an exquisite crispy and flaky pastry rolls, overflowing with correctly cooked mushroom and cheese. Garnished with fresh coriander and garlic mayonnaise along with sweet and chili vinaigrette was mawkish. Is this something I'd ordered again ? Ooh boy,  I'd love to eat such light spring rolls everyday *Yumm*










Shake-



The most fascinating shake we had "Brownie Shake"  Blended the brownie till the stage where it had crumbs which could be chewed and all the chocolatey flavour of the brownie did the spellbinding magic to the taste buds. It is highly recommended *slurping* 












Main-



At last, we end up trying "Paneer Makhni"  Thin crust pizza base is a trend and Echoes serve ultra slim crust base, as crispy and thin as chips. That's the closet I could relate. Topped with 3 cheese ;  cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan along the mild gravy of the paneer makhni and freshly cut cubes of paneer. The pizza was not one of the best we've ever had but it was simple food cooked with love and all that came straight from their heart *thumbsup*












In the far corner of the bustling Satyaniketan Market, is Echoes - a bijou, inconspicuous cafe which will touch your soul and pronounce warmth in all the eye contacts, signs and smiles :') 

We bet, you ought not find as serene a place as ECHOES in the midst of all the hustle and bustle of the city.  To have a meal served and cooked by the vulnerable people who put all their love and empathy in your meal is absolutely not a skill which can be taught easily. 
BonAppetit!
