If you’re in Coimbatore and searching for a hearty, wholesome, and diverse breakfast buffet, GRT Zibe is the place to be. We, at Mellowbites, had the pleasure of exploring their breakfast offerings recently and here’s a detailed walk-through of our experience.
A Fresh Start: Fruits and Juices
Our day started with a refreshing fruit and salad bar featuring freshly cut watermelon, pineapple, sliced carrots, and cucumbers. Alongside, there was a bowl of nutritious green gram sprouts.
The juice counter offered two varieties – a sweet mixed fruit juice and a unique arugampul juice. What’s special? They thoughtfully included a note on the health benefits of arugampul (also known as Bermuda grass) – rich in detoxifying properties. Though the taste was an acquired one, we were glad to have tried it and even got Bhargav to take a sip!
Classic English Breakfast Counter
The English breakfast section featured a delightful spread – bun butter jam, veg sandwiches with creamy mayo, cold milk with cornflakes and wheat flakes, three jam options, butter, toaster, and two kinds of bread.
We spotted maple syrup in a cute jar, indicating pancakes, which were paired with chicken sausages – rounding off a continental breakfast perfectly.
Authentic South Indian Spread
Moving on to our favorite – the South Indian counter. This section had:
- Crispy masala vadas
- Mini carrot uthappams
- Tomato sevai
- Ghee-drizzled venpongal
- Steaming hot idlis
- Sambar, coconut chutney, bottlegourd chutney
- Gingelly oil and idli podi – perfect accompaniments
Live Counter Specials
At the live counter, we tried the ragi bun dosa – soft, slightly spongy, and full of flavor. Bhargav opted for a fluffy egg white omelette, and it was cooked to perfection. It was a joy watching him enjoy this healthy pick!
The Sweet Ending
For dessert, there was only one – the classic semiya payasam, but it was warm, rich, and just the right amount of sweet to end the meal.
Our Verdict
From continental classics to South Indian comfort food, GRT Zibe offers a balanced, healthy, and absolutely delicious breakfast buffet. The hospitality, attention to detail, and authenticity in flavors left us impressed, yet again.
If you’re visiting Coimbatore, this is a must-try breakfast destination.
