We went here for a late lunch and everything was absolutely amazing ❤️ we’re gluten-free lactose intolerant and vegan and this place dealt with it so well!! Most of thier menu is available with a gluten free alternative and the waitress was so lovely and understanding with allergies! Plus the desserts are to die for you can’t even tell that they’re gluten free/vegan. It’s definitely the place to go too with allergies or not. Also the service alone was phenomenal ❤️❤️ they really went the extra mile and were so so friendly. Will for sure be bringing everyone I know :)

What a hidden gem! Had an incredible experience at Yeti. It was my first time trying Nepalese food and it won’t be my last. As a celiac, most of the menu was gluten free! I highly encourage you to order Khasi Jhol, a delicious lamb curry that is reminiscent of the best gravy you’ve ever had. The pistachio ice cream was a great end to the meal!

The thing I love about the Magic is how healthy the food is - it's healthy and delicious and vegetarian, with vegan and gluten-free options available. Modern and delicious. Also we use for takeaway as can be re-heated. Recommend!

The Buda bowl was delicious, vegetable curry was fine but nothing special. Cinnamon buns and Gluten free lemon & blueberry cake were all very good - as were the coffees. It would have been very interesting to get to know more fully about how 'Waste2Taste' actually works.

I have never written a google review but this place is fantastic, so I had to. The food is excellent, the scrambled eggs are creamy, the chai latte is the best I ever had (seriously). They have gluten-free and vegan options, as well as gluten-free, vegan options.

Wow, amazing - out-of-this-world-tasty food, excellent and friendly service and pretty special lattes! Can’t recommend enough, good thing we don’t live in this part of town, otherwise I’d probably be there every day they have food on. Favourites today were the aubergine curry and the stir-fried pork, although everything that comes out of this kitchen is truly magical! And so were the coffees - seriously good stuff, don’t think I have had such a great latte in ages. Thank you to everyone at Elle’s looking after us today! We had a special bday celebration today and everyone at Elle’s today was so very accommodating and kind to our group. One of us was coeliac and it was great that many of the options were gluten-free for them. Now, when can we go back next?

Been going here for a few years now . Food is always good . Service usually good depending on how busy they are . Sometimes you can wait quite a while for food and between courses . Separate gluten free menu with reasonable choice . Our favourite waitress is Ann-Marie who has been serving us on and off for years . Very efficient . If you like the beefeater experience a good option !

We went here as a group of 7 and all ordered a main and 4 sides. Overall the food was quite good although I found the fig honey lamb a bit too sweet for me. My main issue was the service; the food took 1.5h to arrive and only 6 mains were brought out - we ended up having to ask where the 7th had gone. My gluten intolerant friend who asked for rice instead of bread was ultimately served and charged for both. To finish off the night, the servers started clearing our table before people had finished eating which made them feel pressured to speed up (possibly because we were served late).
