If you’re a chocoholic or simply like your desserts, Foodaholics should be of interest to you. A venture by Chef Kishi Arora, Foodaholics is a must-try for anyone who has even an iffy sweet tooth.
I first met Kishi via this blog and then again at Mad Over Donuts. Did you know most or all the lovely creations at Mad Over Donuts are the brainchild of Foodaholics? Probably not. I loved the donuts and sneak a few whenever possible.
A little while back Kishi announced she’s going to go public. No, she isn’t having an IPO or anything, though knowing her, that day isn’t very far away. She simply meant her creations are now going to be available to all of us out there, who are sick of the staid, cliched offerings of the bakeries Delhi has no dearth of.
While the offerings at Foodaholics aren’t exactly cheap, they’re probably one of the best in town. This is evident from the ingredients used. For example, locally available Indian chocolate tends to leave a rather cloying texture on the tongue and also has a tendency to give the indulger a sugar rush. Not so with the French and Belgian chocolates used by Foodaholics, which tend to refresh rather than weigh down your palate. The other differentiator is the type of fat used in the chocolate. Locally supplied chocolate tends to have high percentages of vegetable fat, whereas the French variety use pure cocoa butter – makes all the difference to the final taste. Enough about the chocolate; lets talk flavor now. None of the vulgar synthetic stuff in little plastic bottles for Foodaholics customers! No sir – only the best Tahitian Vanilla and perhaps a dollop of honest to goodness Belgian orange among other authentic ingredients find their way into the cakes and desserts here.
Hmm… this is beginning to sound like marketing spiel now. Nuff said.
Foodaholics has quite a tempting range of cakes and desserts that are quite unlike those found in bakeries and I’ll say they’re better than most starred hotels too. With home deliveries all over the Delhi/NCR region and the high levels of customisation built into the product, I’ll say Kishi has a winner in Foodaholics Cakes and Desserts.

Yum! These desserts look (and sound) delicious! Too bad I’m not in Delhi
Hi Sid,
Great review!
Cheers!
Deepinder
Personally me being a HARD CORE DESSERT person …. there are days i wake up and i just want to eat a dessert from Foodaholics. I have had many many of their desserts, am a regular customer and have had lunches of just different desserts as they also give cup sizes ones.
The chocolate is such high quality. When i ordered first time, i thought Gee! its kinda expensive but am glad i still tried it .. every bite is quite worth the money as the chocolate / strawberries/ the mousse even is something else!!
i believe in wasting calories on the best things on.. so, i only eat Foodaholics now.:)
Hi SId,
If we are not in Delhi , how can we eat that delicious looking three layers chocolate cake in the picture??????
Now, you have me guessing how to make it at home.
You better post the recipe for your far away readers.
Foodaholics is THE BEST!! There is simply no comparison for the desserts with anyone on any front – be it the taste, the quality or the flavours. I’ve tried a variety of them – from banofie to chocolate orange to hazelnut to tropical to strawberry…each one is unique! And once you taste one…it leaves you asking for more and makes you want to try another flavour and so on and so forth!! The quantities are also generous and the overall package is completely worth the price. If you’re a dessert lover or have a sweet tooth and you haven’t tried these desserts yet, you truly have missed out something!! I can guarantee you that you’re going to love their desserts!
