Amazing food and exceptional customer service! We had the Nutella pancake with hot chocolate, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server, Prashish, was fantastic—his energy and attentiveness really made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and top-notch service!

When I went yo order, I noticed the kitchen was very clean. The ingredients were kept covered in the fridge. Sure enough, when the tea and food came, the utensils, tea pot, and plate etc were perfectly clean. I was also given a glass of water with my meal, which was great ! I have worked in the catering industry, and the fried rice that came was done very well ! Very nice and hot. Well done ! I will go back again and so I recommend anyone to try !
