New casual breakfast/sandwich spot that opened up downtown in the old Mirch Masala location. The makeshift "Portion" signage, carelessly draped so the "M" from "Mirch" was still visible, did not inspire much confidence as I walked through the door.
The menu is divided into "hot" and "cold" options. I ordered the chicken club from the "cold" side. Advertising themselves as a fast casual option, I was disappointed to wait 20 minutes for what amounted to cold pieces of chicken, tomato, lettuce and bacon in-between two pieces of bread. Given they are newly opened, mentally I gave them a pass and kept an open mind.
The sandwich did not look particularly appetizing once I was finally served. I have made better at home. It was small, unexciting and boring. At $8, this was definitely overpriced. I left hungry, dissatisfied and angry at myself for not stopping at Chipotle instead.
The only redeeming quality of Portion was that it replaced Mirch Masala, a terrible Indian restaurant that was a disgrace to my south asian heritage.
