The Club City began operations Saturday in Sector 17 here and has 104 varieties of dosas on offer. Twenty-seven of these are registered trademark of the eating joint.

"Chandigarh residents are likely to wrap up the new fusion food court concept. This is so unique," franchise owner Khusbeg Singh Jattana proudly told IANS.

But south Indian goodies are not the only things on offer.

The food court has different things to tickle taste buds - be it fun dining with Chinese food at Shanghai Post, chicken delights at Tikka Express, a Dosa Plaza, best of ice creams at Cream Bell and even a small books corner.

The fusion in food is not limited to Chinese alone. Mexican roast dosa, Salsa dosa and hot garlic pizza dosa are also there.

"This is a new concept. Eatables like dosa Manchurian make things look so different compared to the regular masala dosas we were having till now," pointed out Anuradha, fresh after having her fill at a pre-launch dinner at Club City.

Sachin Marya of Franchise India Holdings, which bought the Club City franchise here, said the emphasis of the new venture was in providing quick service with a fun-dining concept.

"We want to offer our customers an international experience of Indian food. We have tried to standardize Indian food," Marya added.

Club City already had 17 outlets across India and was all set for an international debut next month in Dubai. The restaurant chain had also tied up with McDonald's to open outlets along major highways.

Highway outlets were being planned at Ludhiana, Panipat, Gurgaon and Jalandhar.
