Sami I haven’t dined in yet, but I recently ordered my first takeaway and had mixed feelings about this place. Firstly, the entrance was a little confusing as the door signage wasn’t clear. I initially pulled on the wrong door. Once inside, I even thought I might be in the wrong restaurant and was about to ask for help, until I noticed the brand name above the counter. When I approached the till, the first staff member saw me but didn’t seem interested in engaging. I said hello and told him I was there to collect my takeaway. He was listening to music, looked at me briefly, then turned back to what he was doing. I was genuinely surprised that this kind of customer service was acceptable. It felt like he simply didn’t care. A short while later, a young woman served me and her attitude was completely different. She greeted me warmly, was efficient, and served me with a smile. She clearly made the effort, which I appreciated. I paid, collected my order, and left. The food itself was good, but I only tried one dish, so I don’t feel I have enough experience yet to fully recommend the restaurant. I ordered jollof rice with goat meat and coleslaw, which cost £18.50. While tasty, it does feel slightly on the expensive side. Side note: all their meat is halal.

anjali harilal Highly recommended restaurant. I had my dinner here today. We had a great food tonight and the overall experience was fantastic. A special mention to Hasini and Priya for their exceptional service. They were polite, attentive, and ensured everything was perfect for us. Their professionalism and warm attitude really stood out.

Sofiia Madryha We had breakfast here and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

T S We had the seven-course tasting menu and I swapped the mushroom risotto for a tomato dish. The service was attentive and friendly throughout. The scallops were delicious and paired perfectly with the romesco sauce. The duck was tender with just the right amount of juicy fat. A couple of small downsides were the bread, which tasted a bit like airplane bread, and the desserts, which were a little too sweet for my liking. Overall, it was a great meal, and everyone really enjoyed it. Good value for the price and I’ll definitely be back!

Aishwarya Tripathi This cafe has a fantastic menu (with fresh, tasty and healthy dishes), great ambience and genuine hospitality. It’s located at a very convenient and accessible location, which further adds to the charm. The lady who runs the cafe is very warm and welcoming. One thing which particularly stands out is that regardless of whether one consumes meat, vegetarian or vegan food, there are ample options for everyone at this cafe. The beverage selection is also well curated. I have been visiting this place for years and have found it to be consistently good at food and customer service. Highly recommended!
