What's cooking at Chromepet Shawarma Kings, an outlet that celebrates MS Dhoni and all things cricket?
The openers of Chennai Super Kings are walking out. The starters at Chromepet Shawarma Kings are being prepared.
When the first ball is bowled, fans gather outside this small city outlet to catch the excitement. Inside, a few college students — who have ordered a Helicopter Shawarma and a Pine Yellow mojito — are glued to the television to cheer their favourite men in yellow.
At Chromepet Shawarma Kings, located at Rajendra Prasad Road, food and sport jostle for space. Freshly-painted walls display a lot of ‘yell-ove’, with graffiti of cricketers MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo dominating the show. A poster of Dhoni with the phrase ‘Definitely not’, a popular catchphrase once uttered by the captain, finds pride of place near one of the tables.
