Food Quality

Pros:

  • "I was so impressed with my breakfast this morning! The Full English and Shakshouka were both delightful."
  • "The San Sebastián cheesecake exceeded my expectations. It was delicious and the portion size was satisfying."
  • "Both the pulled chicken and pulled beef dishes were incredible. The tender meat had a sweet tang and packed a punch of spice."
  • "The iftar platter was scrumptious. Everything was tasty."
  • "The chocolate lava cake and the triple brownies are scrumptilicious!"
  • "The hollandaise pulled beef and keema paratha were very nice. Quality was great."
  • "The Gulab Jamun Cheesecake is my personal favourite and a must-try."

Cons:

  • "The full English breakfast was okay but could've been a bit better. I'm also still not sure about the orange being part of it."
  • "The fish fingers were clearly overcooked as one of them even showed a small burn mark."
  • "The house special light breakfast was very disappointing. The eggs were cooked with crispy brown bits and a loose jelly bit near the center."
  • "My meat Shakshuka was tasteless and watery, with no flavour whatsoever."
  • "The spicy chicken panini was horrendous - drenched in NAGA to the point it was actually not edible."
  • "The food is absolutely disgusting. The chicken panini tasted off and the coffee was pretty poor."

Cons:

  • "The service was slow, took 2 waiters to tell them that we were still waiting for more food."
  • "The manager/owner is super rude. They don’t value customers and only after the money."
  • "The staff asked for feedback and weren’t happy with the constructive criticism even though it was asked for."
  • "The service is deffo something to work on as it made the whole experience awful."

Ambiance and Decor

Cons:

  • "The swings are clearly there for decoration and pictures but can be hazardous for unsupervised children."
  • "The place is aesthetically pleasing, good for pictures. However, the food was standard, the service was slow."
  • "Is this a Royal Palace? Because it felt like it! The ambience is a tad bit fairytale like, almost something out of a Disney movie."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "While the prices may be slightly higher than average, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it well worth it."
  • "Overall, I can honestly say our experience was worth every penny and I’m dying to go back and try some of the other dishes."
  • "The prices are not extortionate. We had milk cakes and the chocolate lava cake, loved them all."
  • "So well priced for the quality of the desserts/food and drinks, really cosy and friendly vibe."
  • "Amazing dessert place! Decent portion size, reasonable prices."

Cons:

  • "The kids meals were chicken nuggets and chips and fish fingers and chips. The fish fingers were clearly overcooked as one of them even showed a small burn mark. Overall the food just wasn’t anywhere near up to scratch for the price that's being charged."
  • "Ordered food which arrived bit by bit so either you waited for it to go cold so everyone could eat together or you just tucked in."
  • "Ordered through UberEats, portion sizes were very bad, especially for the price."
  • "We were told before hand to book and money was taken. The price of £24.95 was per person and as a group of 10 we will be given 4 platters. We arrived and were seated in booth, decor and set up was nice. 2 fruit platters (no selection or dips just humous) and 2 bottles of water on the table."
  • "Unfortunately, the cookie dough’s had more sauces covered then the dough itself and again I understand cost of living crisis but this shop is now cutting corners and giving less then what they used to but increased the price on everything."
