Drunken Monkey

Located in Eon IT park, the Drunken Monkey is a much-needed shake bar in Kharadi. Stopovers here are recommended whenever you need to sip on some thirst quenchers or even a thick shake. A tad pricey, this one delivers on taste, especially with the fig milk shake. A differentiating factor is that they insist on the dairy percentage being no more than 10 per cent in every beverage. If you’re cutting carbs, you may want to sample the musk melon shake.
