Food was okay .. however customer service is terrible, they have no forks, knives and nor do they accept card? In 2025 how are you not accepting card payments. Considering this business is attached to the petrol pump how can you have no forks? Staff is dismissive and non caring. There are many other cafes in m’boro who are worth visiting. Unless you have your own cutlery and cash then come here otherwise AVOID.
The chicken biryani we ordered was nothing more than a fried rice with some chicken pieces with a boiled egg and the chicken was not even fresh. We were really hungry so we even paced an order of aloo paratha that was also not up to the mark. I hope you would take the review as an opportunity to improve your dishes for customers.
We came all the way from London and search a place to go for breakfast and found this place. I would definitely recommend to visit this restaurant the food was amazing. Pratha and chana was so delicious specially service was amazing felt us like a home. 😇
I ordered full English breakfast, the breakfast was great, on point. The place has old school traditional English cafe feel which is lovely. The coffee was really nice, coming from devote costa drinker.
Went to try the desi breakfast as recommended by the TFT...a popular local food blogger and was disappointed as I only got half an egg in my chana and the menu needs to be clear in regards to what paranta you get with the breakfast as aloo paranta will cost you more and can lead to bill confusion....on a brighter note the food tasted excellent!!
