What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

  1. Burger with egg Net −1
    “Had lunch, good as always. I ordered burger with egg for take away, once I arrived home, discovered that egg whites are not properly cooked and still raw. Unfortunately had to throw it away. The good part is, that it was served separately from burger so I could identify the problem”
  2. Lemon blueberry pancakes Net −1
    “For food we got the lemon blueberry pancakes, Avocado toast with no eggsand a bagel with cream cheese. The avocado toast and bagel was great we really liked it. Avo toast we had was not on the menu, but they were able to accommodate which we are grateful for. The pancakes were not as great, I found them to be too sweet and the serving size of the pancakes was also much bigger than we expected.”

Tips for a Better Visit

1

Validate Parking. Ask staff to validate your parking after the meal and provide your car plate number; reviews say this can remove the parking charge.

2

Avoid Peak Weekends. For breakfast, consider a weekday or off-peak visit: one review warns of waiting times on Saturday and Sunday.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

High Prices

Several reviewers found breakfast more expensive than comparable Dubai options, with the City Walk location influencing the price.

Egg Inconsistency

One dine-in egg arrived with runny whites and a takeaway egg had raw whites, so doneness is not always consistent.

The Bottom Line

Eggspectation is an Al Wasl restaurant-cafe built around a broad American-style breakfast menu, with lunch and dinner options as well. Breakfast is the main draw: reviewers specifically mention Eggs Benedict, French toast, smoked salmon Benedict, omelettes and pancakes. Portions tend to be generous, and the drinks selection includes coffee, matcha, smoothies and fresh juices.

The service is one of the more dependable parts of the experience. Reviews describe staff as welcoming, attentive and willing to explain the menu or adjust dishes. Vegetarian diners were helped with menu changes, while another table received an avocado toast that was not listed.

Families are also well catered for, with a kids menu and portions that reviewers found substantial. There are practical advantages too. Outdoor seating is popular in cooler weather, and parking can be validated after you provide your car plate number.

For breakfast, weekend waits have been reported, so a weekday visit may be easier. Prices are often considered high for breakfast, and a gluten-free option was criticised for its extra charge and small portion. Egg doneness has also been inconsistent in isolated reviews, including raw whites in a takeaway order.

Note that one review says there is no toilet inside the restaurant.
