The Meals at Meet Bros (what we ordered)

Date of go to: February 2025

*Disclaimer: this was a complimentary meal to preview their 2025 Ramadan Iftar Menu

Lychee Mojito (£11)

To begin, we have been served Meet Bro’s signature mocktail and bestseller – the Lychee Mojito, a concoction lime, lychee, contemporary mint, soda, and palm sugar. The minty flavour, tinged with a delicate gingery undertone, makes this drink a refreshing begin to the meal. It’s gentle and crisp – one thing you need to slowly sip on to detect all of the layers of flavour.

Meet Bros Spring Rolls (£12.95)

Starters began with a bang with these Meet Bros Cheeseburger Spring Rolls. Moreishly meaty and juicy, with a delicate contact of pickled onions reducing proper by the richness, these have been merely pleasant. The accompanying sauce was the right last contact to the dish, including a punchy kick and oomph that leaves an enduring impression.

Asian Type Guacamole (£19.65)

Then we had the Asian-style Guacamole that comes with chilli tomato salsa and fried shallots on avocado, served with lime and cassava chips. The workers will combine the guacamole for you upon serving the dish to your desk. Flavour-wise, it was extremely tangy, although virtually a bit an excessive amount of, barely overshadowing different components, for my part. We completely adored the thought of cassava chips and couldn’t have sufficient of them!

Lobster Curry Noodle (£41.95)

Transferring onto the mains, we have been served the wonderful Lobster Curry Noodle. It was basically a laksa, however with a thicker texture the place the broth was extra like a sauce, and was topped with lobster tails for a showstopping impact. Its wealthy & piquant flavours completely hit the spot for us, and the lobster tails have been cooked excellent too. The one remark was to maybe let the tofu puff soak within the broth a bit extra for additional flavour.

Black Angus Argentinian Ribeye (£38.95)

Then right here comes the a lot anticipated steak and it didn’t disappoint. It was high quality in each chew, tender to style and oozing of wealthy full-bodied buttery flavour. I might suggest getting a sauce on the aspect. We had it with a aspect of chilli tomato sauce, i.e sambal, that got here with the Lobster Curry Noodles and the flavours actually labored.

Lamb Biryani (£36.95)

Juicy and tenderly falling off the bone, these saucy barbecue lamb ribs have been successful for our toddler. The Malaysian-style biryani was respectable – good however not too notably memorable in comparison with all the opposite dishes we had for the night. A beneficiant quantity of pickled greens have been served on high of the rice, giving a extremely tangy flavour to the general dish. Personally, maybe a extra strong biryani would add extra oomph and contrasting flavours, in our opinions.

Grilled Broccolini with Tomato Chilli Sambal (£9.50)

Sadly, there was not a lot grilled flavour to the broccolini however the sambal has actually received fairly a kick to it. I might’ve beloved to see extra of a charred contact to the broccolini, which might provide a extra complicated flavouring layers and make this humble aspect dish stand out much more particularly when paired with such a daring sauce.

Truffle Parmesan Fries (£9.50)

These truffle parmesan fries have been delectable and received my identify written throughout them. They have been crispy on the skin and fluffy on the within, seeping with an earthy aroma from the truffle, whereas the Parmesan added an alluring savoury & nutty contact. Each flavour element was very well-balanced, nothing too overpowering, and blended effectively collectively harmoniously. It’s precisely how I like my truffle fries!

Fried Banana Fritters (£15.95)

For desserts, we have been served with the fried banana fritters, which was basically an elevated model of a basic Pisang Goreng. Wrapping the banana in Kataifi pastry was a genius concept and introduced out such lovely textures. The caramelisation of the banana provides a deep and wealthy sweetness, balanced with the ultra-smooth and silky vanilla bean ice cream to create such an irresisitible flavour combo.

Pineapple Pudding Turnover (£15.95)

Regardless of having pineapple within the identify, the pudding itself wasn’t fairly pineapple-y and, in some way, we fairly preferred it this manner! It’s received a quite fascinating toffee pudding-like flavour, lighter than what you’d anticipate for a basic sticky toffee pudding, however nonetheless that includes a tasty deep caramelisation that retains you questioning for extra. Along with the pineapple chunks and vanilla ice cream, it’s actually an fascinating and fulfilling one to savour.

Strawberry Lemonade (£10)

As beautiful the Lychee Mojito was, you simply can’t go unsuitable with a superb Strawberry Lemonade and we simply beloved this drink. It’s at all times the right thirst quencher – vibrant, vivid, zesty, and refreshing to style.

Watermelon Juice (£6)

Final however not least, we have been served with the watermelon juice which was {smooth}, cool and subtly candy. The colourful crimson color with a foamy high ensures an impressionable presentation even with such a easy drink.
