The Big Belly Café

“Hunger is often inversely proportional to the money in your pocket” – ancient Ogre wisdom

Big hunger. Small prices!

The first thing you're most likely to notice when you walk into this place is the right side of the menu. For the uninitiated, it’s the side the prices are mentioned on. You'll smile. Then you will examine the spread. You'll grin. Between the clinking coins in your pocket and the spread, you will probably grab a chair. Warning: don’t go overboard with the ordering.

Given the location, it’s perfect for a winter brunch. You can put your bacon down on the chair and peruse the menu that’s stuck under the table glass. Soon, a sweet chap with a smile will come and take your order. And verify it thrice. You should carry water with you though because these chaps only serve bottled water.

Now coming to the food. The grilled chicken sandwich is pretty neat. I suggest you go for brown bread. Though it will add 10 bucks to your bill, it’s worth it. The pasta in red sauce is pretty smooth on the palate too! Oh, and the chicken cheese omelette is completely burp worthy. The only thing I didn't really like much were the chicken nuggets because those were the ready-to-serve nuggets found in nearly every kitchen.

The quantity of food per serving is fairly large. Not enough to stuff you, but not insignificant enough to vanish on the way down the food pipe either. In case you're one of those who enjoy chomping while you eat and do not believe in the concept of table manners, you can also get the food packed to be devoured in the privacy of home. The food is served in disposable utensils to ensure cleanliness and convenience. Good thing, I say. The beverages served are average, mainly made from premixes. The cold coffee is weak but the hot coffee is nice and creamy, unlike most machine made servings.

Overall, I was happy. This is not a place that I can vouch for but definitely one I'd encourage you to try. If you like it, burp out loud  - Ogre style!
