Ordered the Royal Breakfast - really tasty and fresh. Food is all halal (lamb sausages and turkey bacon). Very good price, efficient service and nice atmosphere. My two friends ordered the pancakes and they were very tasty too. Really nice spot for some brunch, friendly service.

The food was great and a very generous portion size too! The lamb kofte was probably one of the best I've had! Service was a little slow though, but it wasn't a huge bother.

Pathetic food and service and charged full price even I complained about it. One of the worse chicken roll I ever had, cold, unpleasant and tasteless and almost took more than half an hour to make it ready. Not Recommended
