Savour the Flavour: Head to Chennai Cafe for the Ultimate Lassi and Rice Bowl Pairing Experience
Our wide selection of Rice Bowls offers a unique opportunity to master the skill of lassi pairing. Each dish is carefully crafted to be complemented by a specific lassi that enhances its flavours.
For example, the bold flavours of a Chicken Tikka Masala Bowl can be perfectly balanced by a mango flavoured lassi, which helps to mellow the spiciness and enhance the savoury tomato sauce.
On the other hand, the creamy Paneer Butter Masala Bowl pairs wonderfully with a plain sugar or salt lassi that provides a refreshing acidity to cut through the dish’s richness.
Enjoy an extraordinary experience with us at Chennai Cafe. Every serving of a rice bowl celebrates Indian cuisine, with each one’s flavours accentuated by a suggested lassi pairing.
