About
Very tasty food with great service and generous portion sizes — the pepper steak is a standout. Edward and the team provide fast, helpful service. Croissants could use improvement, but the espresso and main dishes deliver.

Very tasty food. The service and portion size is great too. I took the pepper steak. Edward helped me well.

Very poor service. I was so excited to take my mum just this afternoon for lunch, but when we reached there after the waiter took our order we waited for 40 minutes and no drinks were even served to us. I decided to go check up on the food and drinks just to find the guy behind the drinking area preparing a drink for someone else who had just arrived. I am very disappointed very poor service kindly check on that

Food was okay, had chicken curry and rice. Nice quiet place to sit down for a meal or coffee and even do some reading

We had a short stop at this place after our visit to the House of Leather nearby. My gf needed her morning coffee shot. So we ordered two espressos and two croissants. The service was fast but croissants were somewhat stale. Probably from a day before (we stopped by right after a lunch break on Thursday.) I can’t give you any more details as we haven’t ordered anything else.
