A typical Sunday morning laid back and a perfect one for me as I proceed to review for a Sunday Brunch at The Brickhouse Cafe, Andheri .Its located right amidst the busy Lokhandwala area. This place stands out due to its unconventional setup.
The entrance grabs attention soon enough. The interiors have been done up tastefully and keeping in sync with the name of the cafe .No wonder these guys have been featured in Elle Decor-India issue for their interiors. The cafe seems a cosy and quiet place with an outstanding bar and quiet interesting bar chairs!!
Now coming back to the brunch. I was greeted quiet warmly by the staff, was a bit surprised seeing the number of staff which was too low. However what I need to mention here is though being less in number they tried to attend everyone as efficiently as possible .I started off my brunch with the smoked salmon bruschetta with dill cream cheese and eggplant parmesan. The eggplant parmesan was totally as expected perfect!!However the bruschetta tad disappointed me as I found the dill cream cheese out of action.
The sangrias were exact and completed the Sunday brunch feel.They serve you unlimited sangrias and beer making your Sunday brunch all the more good. Later proceeding to eggs made on order ,I was recommended the BHC omelette. It was aptly all good things on a single platter. For salads I went for Spinach and goat cheese saladand Roasted chicken shreds and orange with balsamic honey dressing .Both good enough.
For the mains I was asked to try the risotto with mushroom and prawnsand burritos. The most surprising thing being absence of an exclusively vegetarian dish in the mains. However I was told many of the non vegetarian mains could be easily made vegetarian on demand .The risotto was outstanding creamy and cooked to perfection.
Burritos was something that left me a bit sad. The pancakes with whipped cream drizzled with chocolate chips ended the brunch on a high note.
All and all the Brickhouse Cafe is a good place to catch up with friends and family over a quiet Sunday brunch with the quiet settings and rustic interiors. Go ahead and enjoy a great food soiree.
