New places are constantly popping up in the Bangsar area and it’s always hit and miss with each one. Citrus is a definite hit with its simple and light dishes that just scream comfort food.

The menu has a large mix of Asian and Western food. I was happy to see a pretty extensive salad menu, one of my favourite treats especially on hot days when a heavy meal just isn’t appealing. The Aloo Chat salad was the one that immediately caught my eye. So we ordered that as well as a burger and their specialty club sandwich.

Once the salad made its way over to the table I was a little confused by its appearance. It almost looked like a hot chickpea curry of some sort and I was worried it wouldn’t be the refreshing treat I had been anticipating. Upon first bite this was bursting with exciting flavours. The mix of creamy chickpeas melds well with the crunchy onions, greens, and little crispy pastry bites. The highlight of the dish though is the creamy sweet and soury yoghurt tamarind dressing. The pastry bites are like croutons that soak up the dressing and become chewy and gooey…yummy! This is just one of those dishes that will have you coming back for more.

I am a burger fanatic, and the burger here is quite good! The meat is extremely juicy and tender. It pretty much falls apart in your hands so you might want to eat it with a fork and knife if you don’t want to make a mess. The patty itself is mixed in with pine nuts for additional flavour. This comes with the usual toppings as well as pickles and cheese and a generous slather of mayonnaise. Delish!

"A burst of exciting flavours"

Marked as a chef’s recommendation the club sandwich is packed with goodies. Beef bacon, chicken, avocado, egg, and more! All the various ingredients make this a satisfying and hearty meal complete with crisp fries. Perfect for those days when you have a sandwich craving.

For dessert, there is an array of cakes and pastries in the refrigerated glass case. I opted for the lemon butter cake. This little decadent slice may look like a light option but it is filled with buttery goodness. The tart lemon and sweetness are balanced just right.

I’ve heard that one of the interesting menu options is the Pakistani Breakfast where you get fresh pan-fried kebabs. What a way to start the day! I’ve got to get back there one day for breakfast to try it out. They are also known to do a good thin crust pizza with toppings that range from the usual tomato and cheese to the unusual, chocolate. Yes, chocolate. Go give it a try.
