“3. Eggs Benedict: We tried two variations, and both were excellent. The poached eggs were perfectly runny, the hollandaise sauce was rich and smooth, and the base (one on croissant, one on traditional bread) added a touch of indulgence. The potatoes on the side were a perfect match, adding a hearty touch to the dish.”

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.
Avoid Peak Weekends. For breakfast, consider a weekday or off-peak visit: one review warns of waiting times on Saturday and Sunday.
Arrive Hungry. Portions can be unusually filling and generous, so plan accordingly rather than treating this as a light breakfast.
Request Doneness. If you dislike runny whites, state your preferred egg doneness clearly and check the plate before leaving with takeaway.
Ask About Changes. Ask whether a dish can be adjusted: reviewers say the team can change dishes and accommodate requests.
Try Outdoors. When Dubai’s weather is comfortable, choose the terrace for an outdoor breakfast.

Several reviewers found breakfast more expensive than comparable Dubai options, with the City Walk location influencing the price.
One dine-in egg arrived with runny whites and a takeaway egg had raw whites, so doneness is not always consistent.
A French Toast plate included berries that some reviewers felt did not look fresh.
A reviewer found the gluten-free option costly, undersized and lacking freshness and flavour.
One review notes there is no toilet inside; the available locked public facility is about a two-minute walk away.
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.
