As a blogger, Im always curious about finding something different from everything around me. But More than a blogger, Im a big Foodie and when you get a chance to write about your favourite thing which is food for me, then how can I ignore it!
Since the past few years, heat in summers has been ever increasing in the city. Because of that Nashikars are always eager to find out new spots of refreshments. As I started thinking about where to start from, I suddenly recalled my early college days. Me and my friends use to go at 'Akbar soda shop' to drink different types of tasty sodas for our much needed refreshment. And that made me revisit this Nashikers very own Akbar soda shop!
We have 7 - 8 different franchises of Akbar Soda in our city and luckily one of them is owned by my friend at Nashikroad. So I grabbed the opportunity to visit his shop so that i can get to know more about these delicious varieties they have in it. When I reached their, I saw number of college going students, families that were enjoying their glass of refreshing soda. This whole scenario made me more eager to taste one as soon as possible. I went towards the shop counter where my friend was already waiting for me. I immediately asked him to give me something interesting from whatever they have. He asked me what I wanted to start from while passing the menu card.
I was amazed as I had a look on the menu card in front of me. They almost had 43 different types of flavoured soda's over there! They had lemon, jeera, orange, kala khatta, pudina red rose, litchi, apple, mango, grapes, etc! I had never noticed this in the past as usually my friends use to order for me but this time i was totally stunned after reading all this! For my amazement they also had flavours like ice cream soda, blue lagoon, Red guava and also Flavoured alcoholic soda which is completely non alcoholic but you can experience the flavour of it! I was surprised yet super excited to try some of them. I was equally confused to decide where to start from!
Finally I settled down with 4 different soda's which was fruit beer, ice cream soda, jeera masala and blue lagoon! I wanted to experience each of them and so I decided to start with blue lagoon. It was a great mixture of Curacao Syrup, lemon juice, Sugar syrup,ginger Crushed and Mint in it. Next one was fruit beer. As the name suggests it contains a bit flavour of beer yet its completely non alcoholic. It simply contains Fruit juice (naturally occurring)Kvass,Kefir and a basic flavour from beer. This made it very interesting and you will definitely enjoy it. Ice cream soda came as a surprise for me as it was a mixture of flavored syrup and carbonated water! Last but not the least jeera masala was simple jeera flavoured soda with a tangy taste in it!
This was all an all one of the most refreshing experience for me. Akbar soda is one of the old refreshment point in nashik and a big local brand too! Its one of the favourite spot of nashikers and after this experience Im pretty much sure that it will always be a favourite for all of us. Their flavours are unique and promising with the very reasonable low rates! Refreshment like this is a like a heavenly touch in such hot summer! Im glad that I stared up with this uniquely promising Akbar soda for my blog and heartly recommend you all to please take out some time from your busy schedule and visit 'Akbar' atleast ones this summer!
