Do you remember the steak dream of Alex the Lion in Madagascar?....well, that’s exactly what I go through when I crave for a good burger. I never visited Ice & Spice in spite of being a regular at restaurants in Saint Mark's road until three weeks ago. Howard Schultz, the President & CEO of Starkbucks once said, all that matters is "one customer, one happy experience & one great cup of coffee".....how can this be achieved? The answer is simple... "Consistency"
I am not writing this review coz I cannot find a good burger else where...Everyone makes burgers these days!!!...it is simply the trust Ice & Spice won in serving a good one consistently. The key ingredient of their champion lamb burger is "Simplicity"....no mambo jumbo. It is not fully loaded & the flavor is not overwhelmed by ketchup, mustard, pickle & onion, yet manages to impress. Sesame burger bun is very soft & does not flake or fall apart...according to me that’s where a burger scores first...then comes the patty, not seasoned very aggressively, moisture retained & not over processed on the grill/pan.
Finally, the presentation...everything packed together just likes one happy family....no mess. The potato wafers that accompany the burger are excellent...crisp, non greasy & different from the ones we stumble upon everyday. The cold coffee catalogue is pretty decent as well...I usually stick to my favorites, Fererro Rocher & Oreo. Coffee to me should be as dark as hell & as strong as love, I lay great emphasis on it while placing an order & never was I disappointed.
Fererro Rocher & Mississippi mud pie are a very nice complement from the cakes & truffles section, the mud pie is more of an Ice & Spice version but delicious nevertheless. Kahlua fantasy & walnut fudge tart are average & too sweet for my palate. The pricing is logical & the service is quick.
I will be returning soon, hungry for more.
