This Description Of Jalebi As “Mysterious Pretzel And Waffles” Has Netizens & Us ROFL-ing!

Every restaurant in any part of the world adds a bracket below the name of a particular dish describing it. This is for dishes that might be from a foreign land or a dish that is creatively named. Recently, a woman came across a menu from a south Asian restaurant and could not help but share the picture on Twitter. The menu described Jalebi as a “mysterious pretzel and fried waffle,” and here is how netizens reacted to it. 

This Restaurant Menu’s Ultimate Description Of Jalebi

When asked to describe Jalebi, the best we can come up with is a spiral dessert made with all-purpose flour and dipped in sugar syrup. But a restaurant in the south Asian part of the globe went one step further. A twitter user named @DaisyRockwell came across a menu that described this sweet delicacy in a totally different and ultimate way. She posted a picture of the menu, highlighting the description with a pink circle. 

The dish was labelled Jalebi Garam on the menu, and it was described in brackets below it. A mysterious, crispy, pretzel-shaped fried waffle is how the menu described the sweet. It is also mentioned that they are soaked in rosewater syrup. The tweet went viral in no time and has so far garnered about 81.2K views. The tweet received many comments and stirred up a conversation.

Netizens Were Surely Intrigued By The Description

Varun Grover, an Indian actor, filmmaker, comedian, and poet, found this tweet and the description of Jalebi intriguing as well. He retweeted the tweet on his personal Twitter account. Netizens were intrigued after reading the tweet and began talking about how creative the menu makers get. One also highlighted the fact that the restaurant is using a very unique way of pricing the dishes, as they repeated the last two digits. 

A user on Twitter mentioned ‘Cafe-Pondy,’ a Pondicherry-themed cafe in Delhi. He said that they list crepes as “French dosai.” Many netizens read the descriptions of other dishes listed on the menu like Gulab Jamun (which was named Gulab Jamon), Firni, Halwa, Shahi Tukra, and more. They were baffled to read gulab jamun being described as ‘milk fudge dough balls’.
