Mearth — Restaurant in Zone 9 Teynampet

An eye-candy resto café right on the main road with attention to detail to the flavours and food garnishing to augment the visual impact on our plates. This place has got sufficient seating space with a vibrant colour which definitely lifted the mood and helped in setting the tone right. So, eventually, the service too was very courteous and there was nothing to complain about the supplements.

First up was the Keto Roasted Pumpkin soup, which was a great drink to start with. The sweetness of the pumpkin with the coarseness was appreciable Next was the Lotus stem steak which had the resemblance of a toasted patty; the Espagnole sauce with it was good, veggies acted as a good complement with the butter rice. Just had a feeling that the potatoes could’ve mashed with some more cooking Had to choose Aubergine parmigiana since the Mezze platter wasn’t available. The texture of the aubergine was pretty good, but the flavour was very mild; with the marinara sauce it was slightly sour, but the cheese compensated the taste along with the bread. Try to munch them down while they’re hot.

Do drop by to have a drink, a chat or maybe a book to read since the place bodes well with such activities. The price part might surprise some yet this is a decent café to drop by...

Update Dec 1, 2023.

Going from a 5 star to a 1 star.

This place used to be good with quality vegan food priced reasonably and cooked really well but has now turned into a nightmare. Check pictures.

The ginger garlic asian soup was spicy beyond one's eating capacity as I'm somebody with above average tolerance and even I couldn't bear with it. It was swimming in oil and to make matters worse it had toooo much of everything: paprika, green chillis, oil, ginger. Vegan and healthy, huh?

The spicy paneer burger was sloppy with dated buns, iceberg dripping old water, ans a very sad paneer patty. It wasn't spicy, like at all. Came with a side of burnt double fried old fries.

Buddha bowl had no guacamole! But just veggies sauted in too much oil. Cilantro rice had no cilantro in it. Also, Not worth the price. It was just sad.

The place was a mess as they had the place running along with electrical and carpantery work being done in parallel. All the plates were dirty layered with dust and what looked like beard hair.

Overall, this is the...

So, here is the series of events that happened on last Saturday 8 pm - I call the restaurant for reservation of a table for 2 for 8.30pm 8.35 pm - We arrive at the restaurant We keep asking for a menu card and to get some water to the waiters there. 8.50 pm - We get a menu card 9 pm - We get our glasses filled 9.10 pm - A waiter arrives to take our order. We ordered two main course dishes as we were super hungry and didn't want to wait for a soup/starter 9.50 pm - The waiter arrives with a Broccoli soup which we did not order. 9.55 pm - The waiter comes back to apologize that they had given a wrong order and that they are yet to prepare our food. We walked out of the restaurant without eating anything.

All the restaurants that we tried going to after 10 pm had their shutters down. We went home super hungry and irritated

The only reason I chose this place was because it had plenty of vegan options. I actually wanted to have my nephew's birthday dinner with family there. I'm glad I didn't do that blunder and spoil his day. Will never step inside...
