We're here on a Friday lunchtime and although they have quite a few patrons the service is efficient and we're not waiting too long before the food arrives.
Roast pumpkin risotto with rosemary and rocket - $14.90
The roast pumpkin risotto looks like a small serving but is actually quite adequate since the risotto is quite filling. The rice isn't cooked as well as I would have liked since it's a bit gluggy. The roast pumpkin however is delicious and sweet and the other flavours are more subdued to let the pumpkin flavour really shine through.
Cordon-bleu open-faced chicken burger: pancetta, caramelised apple butter and brie on sourdough, served with fries or salad - $14.50
I'm a bit disappointed with the cordon-bleu open-faced chicken burger since it's not really a burger at all but a slice of sourdough topped with chicken breast, a piece of pancetta, a slice of brie and a piece of caramelised apple. It tastes good but I feel like they were a bit stingy with the ingredients and I'm not so sure that it qualifies as a burger! It also makes it quite hard for us to share and we each only get a small piece. The thick-cut chips however are nice and crisp on the outside with fluffy potato on the inside, although I can't say they make up totally for the lack of 'burgerness'.
Chicken avocado salad: roasted chicken with mixed leaves, carrot, raisins and a honey mustard dressing - $13.90
The chicken avocado salad is fantastic with lots of chicken and avocado and a creamy honey mustard dressing. I particularly like the addition of raisins which gives a burst of sweetness to the salad when eaten. This is my favourite dish by far.Jimini's is a great place to rest your shopping legs in Westfield Hornsby. Come for the coffee and all-day breakfasts which are great. They also have a selection of cakes and cookies if you're after something sweet.
