  • "Nice hipster style decor. Love the retro lighting. Karak chaii to die for..."
  • "Delightful little place on Ladypool Road. Better than the one in Slough in London."
  • "Lovely little tea house! Well lit, I think you could probably light the whole street."

Cons:

  • "Very busy place, same taste of tea. Decent ambience... it very crowded and noisy."

Hygiene and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "The outlet is clean and has plenty of room to sit and relax and the girl who served us was friendly and knowledgable."

Cons:

  • "Food quality is not constant especially when they are busy. Service could be better with better coordination, food delivery and hygiene."
  • "It'll good if someone could clear and disinfect the tables after servings."
  • "Went here with my father just for a quick brunch. Service was friendly and fast. The food and tea were great but we were not fans of the parata - it was more like the frozen 'Shaana' parata's rather than a shop made one."
  • "Tables not cleaned without prompting."
