Laetitia Lemoine Very busy with place but it is by far the best café in Reading. Homemade food, lovely coffee. I had a Tuna Turner with a pot of tea (Photo) and a decaf latte and a cinnamon bun for pudding. This is going to be my go-to café. I have taken some friends today with me and they have loved it. They want to go back too!!

Sandie-Roy Gastardo Me and a few co-workers decided to have lunch here together. Its always a good experience to cook some Korean bbq and this place didnt disappoint. The meat was seasoned well so it tasted great. There isnt much space in their restaurant, but their staff was quite helpful with making space for everything we ordered.

Chantelle Thornley Booked a table for seven people a week before, as I’d read that it booked up. We were attending the Beach Boys concert nearby at Englefield on June 20th 2025. Pleased to say all the reviews are accurate and I’m delighted to be adding to them now! Spring rolls for starters, as well as a sharing platter that would easily be a main course. Then we had a selection of Thai and traditional pub food. Liver n onions. Burger. Ribs. Thai Green Curry. Atmosphere was relaxed and waiting service was excellent. My only suggestion is the bar staff. A bit more friendly interaction with the customers would make this place really worthy of the full five stars.

M Palmer This place has got to become a staple for me! Excellent food, made fresh in front of you, and was easy to order. The free toppings station is a bonus, considering so many restaurants these days charge extra for sauces. Lovely atmosphere and very affordable food, especially with blue light discount and being part of the free ‘marugame club’. It’s also fantastic if you’re on a calorie deficit as the portions are very generous whilst being fairly low in calories and high in protein. I got the regular beef nikutame udon and had to take half of it home as it was so filling! (Takeaway pots are easy to help yourself to next to the toppings section). Would recommend to anyone!

Benny Green Absolutely fantastic experience! The food here was amazing and had proper authentic Indian spice, something you rarely find elsewhere. Food was spicy, rich, and full of flavour, just the way it should be. It really stood out compared to many other places that tend to tone the spice down. The price was also very reasonable for the quality of the food. Overall, a great dining experience and I’ll definitely be visiting again the next time I’m in Reading. Highly recommended!

I’m definitely looking forward to making this one a regular of mine!
