My local cafe and possibly my favourite cafe ever. As a celiac they have an amazing range of gluten free options. The food and coffee are delicious and the staff are amazing and so friendly. It also feels like a really welcoming place to bring my kids; they have a box of toys and coloring in to offer. I go there often and can't recommend this place enough!

First time visiting this Cafe was impressed with their choice of cabinet food, especially the variety of gluten free choices. We got the lemon and caper fish and the corn fritters. Both came with a well dressed salad (the dressing reminded me of a South Indian condiment - Coconut Chutney) The fritters, 3 of them, well seasoned and made fresh to order instead of being pre made and frozen, came with a relish I think. The fish was nice, although it tasted frozen, the accompanying sauce was good. Would definitely go back .

Birthday dinner - had to wait over 1 hour for food, the place was not very busy at all. The people who sat behind us, arrived well after us but their food came out at the same time as us. Entree came out with main. Steak wasn’t easy to cut through, Salmon overcooked - had stipulated for it not to be overcooked. Not a lot of gluten free dessert options. We had spent hundreds that night as there were 9 of us. Unfortunately we will not be going back.

We had lunch here with three kids. I had asked earlier about gluten free options for our celiac kid and we were confident. When the food arrived, the waitress checked again and realised that the toast was not the GF bread. She apologised, took it back in and came back with a complete new meal. Contamination is taken seriously and we were happy! Thank you for catering for celiac and being so attentive! The food was AWESOME!

I would suggest to all the people who around here must go and try.This the best restaurant I’ve ever taste. Authentic curries with Indian flavours. The uniqueness of preferences and obviously the atmosphere is the best. Also provide gluten free options. Great dine in restaurant.
