Service and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Our waiter was very helpful and answered all of our questions."
• "Service was pretty slow, with people who sat down after us getting served first but not bad overall."

Cons:

• "This place is hugely popular at the moment, so expect a queue."
• "It's true that there was a bit of a queue on the street, because a lot of people want to use the take-away option."
• "My first portion of chicken curry was undercooked but it was changed quickly with no problem and the staff were incredibly polite and friendly."
• "Be careful with the custard bun though! it will spill from the otherside when you bite down, so use a plate to avoid spilling all over yourself!"
• "I gave the service 3 stars because after being shown to our seats we had no service for about 10 minutes."
• "It may be best to come here early or order takeaway if you don’t fancy hanging around waiting (they don’t take reservations)."
• "The servers were a mix of super sweet staff and some that were uninterested."
• "Although a place with very few seats it has its own atmosphere."
