Milkshakes

Milkshakes in Orpington

Milkshakes at Crispy Dosa Orpington are blended to order with chilled milk and ice cream, whisked until they are thick enough to need a wide straw. Nothing is mixed at the start of service and left to stand.

The house flavours are the classics: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. They are on the menu because they are what most tables actually order, and because a simple shake made properly beats an elaborate one made carelessly.

Chocolate is the most ordered of the three, deep and cocoa-forward rather than merely sweet. Vanilla is the one to pick if you want the milk and the ice cream to lead. Strawberry is the one children point at.

If you want the loaded versions, they sit on our Special Milkshake page: Oreo, Ferrero Rocher, Kit Kat, mango and banana. This page is the classic three, at a slightly gentler price.

A shake earns its place on a South Indian menu for a specific reason. Dairy is the fastest thing there is for taking the burn out of chilli, far quicker than water or a fizzy drink, because milk fat lifts capsaicin off the palate.

So a milkshake is not only a dessert here. Ordered alongside a spiced dish it does the same job a lassi does, and it is the version most children and most first-time guests will actually drink.

It also works as a dessert in its own right at the end of a meal, after a dosa or a thali, and it is the drink most families order for the table to share.

If you would like yours thinner, sweeter or made with less sugar, tell us when you order and we will adjust it. Our team can also talk you through the allergens in each flavour.

They are blended thick, so give us a couple of minutes. A shake made properly takes slightly longer than one poured from a jug, and it is the difference between a drink and a dessert.

If you are ordering for a table, the classics are the safer pick for children and the loaded flavours tend to suit adults finishing a meal. Most families order a mix of both.
