Having been to Miro Lounge before for dinner and Mesa Bistro once for lunch, I had to come try out the Mesa Bistro Breakfast. Their breakfast service sadly ends at 11:00am, you must be an early bird to get some of it. I was especially excited about the waffles, eggs benedict and breakfast sandwiches.
The place is very cute., has a colorful, fun vibe with an open kitchen. We were very excited for the Eggs Benedict (they offer it 3 ways – ham, salmon and asparagus). But sadly our experience was not as great as it was with Miro. Maybe it was early in the morning? The waiter even snickered and asked us if we wanted bhurji when we described how we wanted our eggs to order (mushrooms and tomatoes scrambled with the eggs).
Our food took FOREVER to come, I think a good 30 minutes were gone as we were twiddling our thumbs and starving. What finally came was a little underwhelming. The scrambled eggs were a decent portion and came with a good amount of sides but the Eggs Benedict was tiny. The minute it came we knew we had to order more. There was a tiny english muffin, with a little serving of (asparagus/ham) and a tiny poached egg on top with a small dollop of hollandaise sauce. Having had the uhmaazing Eggs Benedict at Indigo, these were a super disappointment. The egg was poached nicely and it was decently yummy but the portions were very meager.
We ordered more eggs and a breakfast sandwich, which once again took forever to come and thus we missed our Sunday morning movie. What came was no doubt delicious, but the waiting time plus the tiny portion sizes were a major turn off. I will definitely not be visiting Mesa Bistro for brunch again. I don’t have any problems with small portions as long as they are priced accordingly. We had a similar problem with Mesa earlier, I polished off a whole burger and was still starving afterwards.
It is a cute place with great flavors but just the service and sizes make you not want to return for anymore. Price wise it is expensive considering each person will order 2 things. Eggs Benedict (Rs.295), Eggs to Order (Rs. 210) and Sandwiches were also around Rs.200. For full menu go to Zomato.com.
Breakfast for 4 was about Rs.2000 (without drinks).
