"I'm currently studying for masters disertation and came in here on a quiet Tuesday morning to have breakfast and work. I'd come here before a few weeks ago when the manager was in. He was lovely and let me stay for 4+ hours even though I only ordered a coffee and I'd been raving about how lovely this place was for the past few weeks. This morning I went and arrived at 11:30 and asked to sit in and was told that I could only sit on the bar I pointed to an empty table and the waiter grudgingly allowed me to sit. I was sitting next to two other people on their laptops neither of whom had ordered food. I ordered pancakes and a coffee (asked for no banana on my pancakes) and bottle water, the coffee never came and pancakes had banana on but I left it because the staff seemed stressed. After only an hour and half I was asked to aggressively leave because the cafe has a 2 hour limit. Despite the fact that the person next to me who hadn't ordered food was not moved a long and there was no queue of people waiting. Little did the know I was about to order lunch so they missed out on my service. If you're the lovely manger reading this then I would talk to your staff about the tone they are taking with customers. I understand a 2 hour laptop rule but I was only there for an hour and a half compared to people next to me and I felt like I was picked on. because I was a younger woman working in the cefe covered to the middle aged people sitting next to me."

"we had a few parties in this restaurant before and therefore have enjoyed each other again and again and decided to have a triple celebration in their banquet hall. from the first day when we met the fronts, we were treated with a male personal alene that could not be less helpful than anything we asked was rejected and would not meet halfway to finish the deal. At any rate we agreed to her accusations and decided to try food for which we had to pay in full amount, not even a small discount, from which we complained about the chicken ktikka, as had a full taste, she did not even offer to replace, but then we asked to make sure that chicken ktikka be chest pieces and was assured at 2 points, but at the day of the celebration they served cheap chicken pieces. on the day everything went into order, apart from huhn tikka starter and not the same experience with food. at the end, when we have the bill we owe a refund of the payment we paid and said it was refunded at the earliest. also the person who was busy with us, said he would grab us the left of the buffet when we filled in a positive feedback, what a deal! then we started to follow the refund as it was not processed as promised. we have always called and were given excuses, will last a week, up to two weeks, has been processed, but not, then the person who processes the refund is on vacation, and finally, when speaking with the refund lady reshmi was said, no worries her get her refund, but we only processed in mass therefore delayed! what a lot of nonsense it took seconds to take money in advance from us, but when it came to our money back so many lie, 2 weeks delay and numerous phone calls with frustration. so much to give recurring business, never again."
