What I like about Oasis Mall's Polynation food court is that it is decently spaced and even on a weekend you will definitely get a seat within 15 minutes of waiting. This is more than I can say for any other mall.
Crepe Connection has a pleasant looking kiosk with a blackboard like menu card. The range in veg and non-veg options are minimal, but they all sound interesting. New additions are constantly made to this menu.
This review was done over two visit. The first time round husband decided to have the French Riviera. This was shredded chicken in a white sauce with a dash of fresh basil. All of the crepes are served in a checkered square style. Each of the squares are bite sized. The portions are good for one and each plate comes with a tangy salsa on the side.
The French Riviera was good with each mouthful becoming a creamy mush in the mouth. The sauce is on the heavier side and it can fill you up soon.
I had the Italian Summer which was chicken in a tangy Italian sauce. It was more like a spicy pasta sauce stuffed into a crepe. Along with the salsa, the dish was a spice fest, but in a nice sort of way.
For dessert we decided to have the crepes with a peach stuffing. It came shaped exactly like its savory counterparts and with a blob of thick cream in the center.
On our second visit we noticed combos on offer. Husband opted for the vegetarian one which had a savory crepe called Potato Man which was mashed potatoes, jalapenos and cheese. Along with this was a Go Bananas crepe which had a mashed banana stuffing with chocolate sauce drizzled on the outside.
The Potato Man is perfect for those who love potatoes. Those with a liking for the South Indian style of making the potato stuffing for dosas may find it familiar. While it did taste decent, it distinctly gave the feeling that one was eating a dosa. There was nothing to fault the Go Bananas Crepe.
I opted for the non-vegetarian combo of Chicken Pot, a mix of chicken and potato in a brown gravy. Once again, this tasted like the Indian version of kheema, in chicken. Nice, but for Crepe Connection this was more Indian than French. For dessert I was told I could swap Go Bananas for one with a stuffing of apples. This was great with the right amount of cinnamon and cream.
We also had a Pancake Lasagna. The entire lasagna was made with layers of crepes with a spicy chicken filling. Generous amounts of cheese was melted all over it.
Crepe Connection is an interesting attempt. While some dishes seem to be the real deal, some other dishes can have you sitting on the fence. The pricing is decent with each crepe roughly between Rs 70 to Rs 80. The combos range from Rs 110 to Rs 130.
