  • After reading the reviews I thought that I'd check this place out for myself...I was not very impressed. The samosa was amazing but the curry and whatever that dessert was were not good at all. The curry was dry and tasteless and the coconut roll pastry was horrible. I definately won't be back here.

  • Order: Dinner special: Samosa, chicken curry and coconut roll(?)

  • The shawarma that I had here was the worst that I have ever tried. I had their food a little while ago as well and it was just as bad. I thought that I'd try it again just incase I caught them on a bad day- NOPE! The chicken both times was horribly dry and the second time it came out of a container.The whole key to a good shawarma is the well roasted, juicy chicken. These people have it all wrong.

  • Order: Chicken shawarma and salad.

  • I have read great things about this cafe, so I thought I'd check it out for myself. It seems I had gone on a bad day because I wasn't very impressed with my food. The boccocini salad and the chocolate eclair were both not very fresh. The potato soup was fairly good though but nothing spectacular. However, I must say that the chicken sandwich and mango salad both tasted very fresh and delicious. Even so, for what I paid I was not satisfied with my meal as a whole. Maybe I would have had a better experience dining in as opposed to getting takeout.

  • Order: Cream of potato soup, boccocini salad, caribbean mango salad, chocolate eclair. (Takeout).
