"The food was not fresh at all… It is quite cheap but it comes with food that was made days before."

"The pastry on the tart shells was too soft for my liking, I would have preferred a nice robust short crust pastry."

Cons:
"The only downside is the noise, being in the heart of a shopping mall contributed to that fact."

"Hygiene- Sticky hand railings, light fixtures collecting dust and broom sticks seen at the bar."
"The cakes were poorly presented, have written notes everywhere, dirty sugar/condiments station, wedding cake displays looked musty and rotten."
