Mate

For breakfast, the egg-sandwich morning set is an appealing choice. Diners have said it is more filling than toast and easy to eat, thanks to the way it is cut. One person enjoyed the sandwich so much they wished they could have the egg salad on its own. The menu also includes ham sandwiches and pizza toast, so there are options for a lighter breakfast or a more substantial start to the day.

There are several morning-set choices, and some diners say the variety makes it easy to come back without getting bored. One person enjoyed a breakfast of an egg sandwich with a mini salad, spaghetti and a drink—a good option when you want a proper meal first thing. Mate opens at 5:00, and takeout from the morning menu has also been reported.

At lunchtime, try the omurice, a familiar favourite on the menu. Diners have chosen the omelette curry, topped with soft, runny eggs, while another described the classic omurice as more generous than it looked. Alongside the standard version, the menu lists Indian, demi-glace, seafood, and orange-and-mango omurice. The restaurant describes the last as having a “fruity deliciousness”.

For something beyond egg dishes, there is curry rice, Indian curry and curry pilaf. The menu describes its homemade curry as packed with chunky ingredients, and omelette curry is another option. Choose a plate that combines egg and curry, or let the curry take centre stage. Coffee, café au lait or iced coffee make a fitting finish. One diner also enjoyed hotcakes with iced coffee, and the café offers choices for breakfast, a snack or lunch.
