They said it was a Meat Lover's Paradise

They said it was a Meat Lover's Paradise, and how right they were! A college friend of mine, Crystal, said we'd try Imbiss - The Meating Joint, for lunch. We had read all the reviews on Zomato and were fully prepared with detailed directions since the place is easy to miss. What do you know? We still managed to get lost. When we did finally find it the restaurant was packed! So we waited for a bit sweating and working up our appetites.

It took about 10 minutes for us to be seated in their tiny restaurant. The restaurant itself doesn't seat many people, maybe 16 in total, but the whole operation is amazing. There are a total of 2 servers/order-takers/table-cleaners. They send the order to the 'kitchen' and out comes your food in under 10 minutes! Mineral water is available but there's a bottle of drinking water and tissues on each table. The restaurant is air-conditioned too.


Signature Sausage Platter
We were wowed by the menu. I don't remember completely but I highly doubt that they offer any vegetarian options! There was a soup and some salads but what caught out attention was the Schnitzel and the Sausages. We ordered the Pork Schnitzel, the Lamb and Mint Sausage and the Signature Sausage Platter. The Pork Schnitzel took a bit longer than the Sausages to be served but everything was fresh. The Signature Sausage Platter lived up to everything we had read about it! We had a few favorites, mainly the sausages with coarser meat. The accompaniment of fries was a surprise; they pushed McDonalds fries into a tiny little corner.

Lamb and Mint Sausage


The Lamb and Mint Sausage was something that caught my eye off the menu and I had to order it. The flavour of mint isn't very prominent however the sausage is tasty and well cooked. The accompaniments were a bit of a let down; the unnecessary brown sauce was too watery and didn't have enough flavour whereas there wasn't enough of the yummy mashed potatoes. The sausage was slightly salty to have on it's own - I'd recommend you order a side of burger bread or hot dog bread as they don't serve bread with any of their mains unless it's a Hamburger or a Hot Dog.



Pork Schnitzel 
Finally the Pork Schnitzel. A thin piece of pork, crumb fried to perfection. Not tough, not chewey, the pork was lovely. They do have a vegetarian Aubergine Schnitzel too. It comes with a side of a mixed green salad and 2 potato patties which were so-so. But definitely recommended! The both of us managed to share the whole Schnitzel quite comfortably. The only downside might have been that Imbiss strictly offers only meat - not even dessert. But after a meal like that I'm not sure too many people have place for dessert.

Sadly on our way out we were subjected to another patrons order of delicious Chorizo rice, succulent Ribs and the Beef Burger. Ah well, another reason to return! For all the college students out there, our order of a Pork Schnitzel, the Lamb and Mint Sausage, the Signature Sausage Platter, and 1 Sprite, extra bread and extra salad came up to only Rs. 540! It was a happy ending indeed. I'd definitely recommend this place to all the hardcore meat lovers out there - go try Imbiss - the Meating Joint!
