Good spot for a coffee and a bite. The food does take a while as it's one person handing the counter and cooking. The food is worth the wait.

I absolutely love this place, I only ever get the butter chicken and rice, it's perfect I must disagree with the Salt comment as I actually add a little more, I guess that's why we are humans each with their own opinions but a 1 rating is way too harsh, The service is amazing a wonderful little local owned and operated business, definitely worth a try, if you don't like something try telling the guy, he will try to accommodate your taste buds, 100% can't fault them.

Amazing food, good quality and decently fast service. The price for everything is good but a little on the high end. Wonderful staff as well lovely to go there for something quick to eat. does have both outdoor and indoor seating, so if it is too crowded inside you are able to sit outside and still enjoy the food. They do table service which is a nice surprise for a cafe of this size as I've only ever seen two staff members. Altogether it's an amazing place for something to eat quickly.
