Fantastic place for afternoon tea with a difference. So nice to have delicious savoury curry dishes to start. The real highlight was the savoury curry cheese scone which was absolutely delicious. Crisp on the outside with a lovely soft fluffy inside with such super flavours. The sweet treats were different too. A super place to go for an afternoon tea with a curry twist. Do book as it’s very popular. Staff are excellent
Amazing place to visit! The Indian food is absolutely delicious and the cakes and scones are to die for. They also have a wise variety of tea to select from and some great coffee! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Totally recommended if you're in the area!
We love this gorgeous place! We come here as often as we can, it’s just so special from the food being excellent homemade, to sweetest owner and team. It’s not just coming for lunch, it’s a whole wonderful experience. You walk out with a smile on your face, a satisfied tummy and a warm heart.
Literally cannot fault this place. Whenever I'm missing real authentic home cooked Indian food, this is the first place that pops up in my head, probably the only place around here I'd eat from. Ofcourse the teas are also delicious as are the cakes - I can't believe she's an amazing baker as well as chef!! They're all very lovely and friendly, and the food, ahh the food... just exceptional.
Not the easiest place to describe but if you love great food served with passion, this is the place for you. We had a fantastic lunch, enjoyed in their suntrap garden. We can personally recommend the Aloo Tikka Chat, Channa Brunch and the Indian Summer cake. Their tea choice is also extraordinary and I really enjoyed the Japanese Green Cherry.
