Delhi, get ready to enter a real-life chocolate dream! Hyderabad’s award-winning craft chocolate brand Manam has opened its first store outside its hometown – and it’s right in the heart of Malviya Nagar. With chocolate flowing through ceiling pipes and chefs whipping up treats in real time, this 3,200 sq ft space feels like a sleek, desi version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (but founder Chaitanya Muppala is so over that reference).
🍫 Chocolate That Talks Tech
Pipes carry molten chocolate straight from giant vats — 45% milk, 67% dark, and 40% white — to workstations where pastries and drinks come to life. Live screens stream the chocolate-making action from Hyderabad so you know exactly what batch you’re tasting. Smart and delicious!
🌱 Farm to Bar, The Indian Way
Right at the entrance, a stunning display tells the story of Indian cacao, from unroasted beans to 100% dark bars. Manam works directly with farmers in West Godavari, and every bite tells a story of origin, care, and craft.
💄 Skincare, Shakes & Single-Origin Bars
They even make their own cacao butter (used in their upcoming lip balm)! And yes, there are over 350 products to try — from orange wheels and matcha thins to truffles, bonbons, and chocolate-dipped everything.
🍽️ Not Just Dessert
Feeling hungry? Their café menu is full-on gourmet. Think avakaya falafel, spaghetti gongura, chilli-loaded fries, and Chakkarakeli banana soft serve. A full meal, with a sprinkle of Andhra pride.
🎓 Learn, Taste, and Create
Manam Classroom is here to educate chocolate lovers of all ages — and you can even make your own bar. Chef Bani Nanda dropped by to do just that, picking candied oranges and pecans for her son’s perfect treat.
☕ Sip and Smile
With 30+ chocolate-based drinks, from dark chocolate orange coolers to indulgent fudge shakes and 8 kinds of hot chocolate, your sweet tooth will never be bored.
🍰 Ending on a High
Before she left, Bani tried the Cherry & Chocolate entremet — rich, smooth, and unforgettable. Manam isn’t just selling chocolate, it’s serving an experience.
