Food Quality

  • "The fried cornbread here is something special. Great flavours balanced together."
  • "The kimchi pancake and roast pork dish was greatly enjoyed by my friends - it was really interesting! I had the jalapeño cornbread and thoroughly enjoyed it, the uniqueness of the menu is impressive:) the coffee was great as well!!"
  • "The food was heavenly!"
  • "The seafood dumplings were pretty epic too."
  • "The food is very tasty and beautifully presented with a few rarer items thrown in (e.g. jalapeño cornbread, morchilla hash etc) and the coffee (freshly roasted on site) is faultless!"

Cons:

  • "The food at Caravan was a little bit underwhelming."
  • "What you're getting for your money and the quality/taste of the food is poor."
  • "The food was generally good, but I've got to say, the fish dish didn't hit the mark for me - it just didn't taste fresh."
  • "I think I can see this place have the potential to become a popular lunch spot however I have to say the food quality and the service we had were very poor and the unpleasant food poisoned is the reason why I am leaving this comment."
  • "The french toast was a bit too sweet and not really 'french-toasty'."
