“ Delicious halal food: Paratha was very crispy, the Chana was very well seasoned. Friendly and accommodating service and nice atmosphere. They also offer a 15% student discount ”
“ the food was so delicious! i loved that they gave so many berries with the french toast (unlike other places that give you just a couple), the chai is delicious and on the sweeter side, and the desi breakfast is so yum! the interior is very cute too! and there’s plug sockets near some tables too! only thing i’d say is that it is quite cold in the cafe, some more heating would’ve been appreciated! but overall, id definitely come back here! ”
“ Excellent establishment. Very easy access by public transport. Very good quality food for a great price. Lovely decor. I visited late on a Saturday night with two others and we enjoyed their varied range of chai options. They also had a lot of dessert options – the pistachio cake and red velvet cakes were particularly good. The staff are very warm and friendly and I will definitely be visiting again soon. ”
“ Been here twice to order the karak chaii with a friend and it's such a delicious drink. Lovely atmosphere / asthetic and friendly staff. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the breeze with a nice warm drink. ”

“ Happened across this place on a walk home. It has the best pani puri I've ever come across- paper thin and light, bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. Highly recommended. Cookie dough was nicely crispy. Prices fair. Lots of dessert options, so perfect for an afternoon tea. ”
“ Best place for a Chaai/Tea break! Tasty Indian Street Foods and Sweet Dishes. Reasonable price. They also serve full English breakfast! (*The quantity of some food seems to be less compared to what they used to serve before, especially with the Chicken Ciabatta. ) ”
