"Eggsellent. It has to be said."
Bangalore has another new eatery with personality , it seems. Friends mentioned this interesting new place off St Marks Road and we had planned to go there a couple of Sundays ago for breakfast but couldn’t as it was just too tucked away , and during a rushed chore-filled morning, you wanted something familar..
I looked through the reviews on burrp.com and thought wow, quite a few people seem to have liked it as well as commented on the value for money concept. Moreover , I love eggs. I honestly think I could survive on omelets ! Another reason to go .
So here we are on Sunday at 11 am , trying to find parking on the little by lane off St Marks Road. The building ‘White House’ is visible from the main road , and the attractive board saying Egg Factory tells us we are in the right place . We walk in and discover friends we know – they live close by . They greet a few others who walk in , so I gather this is popular with people in the St Marks/Richmond/Residency Road area.
I like the logo and concept – they have chosen a niche and made the best of it . Spartan interiors, but brisk and businesslike and windows that look out on some greenery. Wooden benches trimmed with iron rail, and bench like tables. The factory like setting also is reflected in the speakers hidden in the sirens. Nice music- upbeat and not too intrusive. Air-conditioning worked- always something that I check out , as I hate to feel warm and sweaty while I eat . The semi open kitchen , where you can see white clad chefs tossing an omelet or two , and racks upon racks of eggs, was nice. I liked the menus – on brown paper like in school , and great fun to read .
Lots of stuff available , starting fro the humble bulls eye, omelets , scrambled eggs, and its infinite variations. Its amazing how much can be done with the humble egg! The scrambled eggs start at Rs. 49 and come with two slices of toasts , butter and jam. VFM for sure . I ordered the tomato and mozzarella bruschetta ( they have 5/6 mini garlic bread pieces ) at Rs 49 , and though a teeny soggy , as I kept it waiting for 10 mts while I finished my simple cheese omelet ( mmm and Rs 59) was terrific. The spouse loved his Akoorie (Rs 59), although he did not like my side swipes at his plate since I made it obvious I liked it too. The Akoorie was neither too runny nor too firm , and with a substantial smacking of ginger . Very good. There are a hundred ways to do the perfect Akoorie, but I liked this one.
The coffee (Rs 29) my husband had was machine made but robust , and great with the scrambled eggs. No demerara sugar though ..I tried the Pink Lady a banana , cherry , almond and yoghurt smoothie at Rs. 49. Good but the bananas should have been more ripe.
Since we wanted to branch out this brunch, we ordered another item each , even though we were quite full . The hot sub ( Rs 79) - with scrambled egg , petiole chili and feta served with a side of cole slaw was good. My zucchini , potato and feta frittata – topped with a spicy cilantro sauce , served with garlic bread was fluffy and fun. Keen as I was on the famed Merry Kings of Windsor as a dessert, I realized I had some limitations on tummy elasticity and reluctantly declined . The two of us paid about Rs. 450 in all.
Yogesh the owner , popped by to our table to chat as he realized we were newbies. We had a pleasant chat , trying to understand his shift into the food business, his choice of cuisine etc. A senior corporate guy who has succumbed to the entrepreneurial bug, he seems to listen very hard to his customers , and is obviously keen to make this work . Me, I think it will .Service is pleasant but thankfully they leave you alone. Its got a good structure , its unfussy , and it has character .I would come back – there are too many items on the menu lying unexplored .
I kind of expected Seinfeld to emerge from the corner with an attendant Kramer and George trailing. I look forward to bumping into them the next time we are here.

"The Egg Factory - Exotic Eggs"
Egg Factory is in an idyllic location – in the heart of Bangalore, in St. Mark's Road. This two week old restaurant has not started active marketing and NeedGrub is one of the first few to do a review of the restaurant.
Can eggs come in such various forms and take such splendourous avatars is what one feels as one glances through the menu. In exotic sounding omlettes, frittatas, poached, boiled and scrambled, you have the good old egg masquerading as a designer delicacy to charm the palette without emptying the wallet in Egg Factory
I tried `Rice and Curry Combo' and `Son-in-law Eggs'. While the former was a spicy curry of onion and tomatoes, the latter had a surprising peanut and tamarind sauce. I did try the Penne Alfredo with cilantro pesto served with garlic bread to see if vegetarians will be as happy as the eggetarians. To my utter surprise, the dish was amazing and is in a league of its own!
The Omlettes and Frittatas are excellent and go well with the Smoothies. The `Fruit Blast' a blend of bananas, strawberry, orange juice in yoghurt and milk was really good.
The restaurant has an ambience created to resemble a factory. The interesting part was the speakers camoflaged in the sirens. Spartan interiors do resemble a factory and the restaurant needs a second look for one to realise that it is a thoughtfully planned and created style.
The Egg Factory offers great food at cheap prices. A customer who came for breakfast decided to return for lunch with family. Does that not say a lot for this restaurant.
A meal for two could cost around Rs. 400/-.
