This store in Hyderabad is for true chocolate lovers

As you approach a chocolate tablet-shaped structure, one of the bricks cleverly designed as a door slides open to a world of chocolate at Manam Chocolate Karkhana, which opened on Road No. 12, Banjara Hills. Stepping inside this store, spread over 10,000 sft, you are greeted with the rich aroma of the fine chocolate that fills the air, enticing your senses and making your mouth water, promising a haven for chocolate aficionados and dessert enthusiasts alike.

“The Manam Chocolate Karkhana is situated in an old house that has been transformed to tell Manam Chocolate’s story. The Karkhana’s structure and the greenery surrounding it are all a nod to the indigenous trees and materials found in the West Godavari regions,” said Chaitanya Muppala, owner of Manam Chocolate.

Manam Chocolate is a first-of-its-kind in the cacao pod-to-bean-to-endless chocolate confectionery segment, where they take ownership of the entire process — from cacao farming, fermenting, chocolate making to creating a large collection of confections. The process begins at the source, through its sister company Distinct Origins, where they partner with a network of over 100 farmers cultivating over 1,500 acres of cacao farms in the West Godavari district.
