"Summary: We wouldn’t go back at all and sadly, would not recommend. Food ordered: Starters: Chicken Popcorn (2/5) Nice but tasted like KFC Salt Pepper Squid (4/5) It looked like sweet and sour chicken but it was tasty. French Fries (1/5) Tasted like chips with freezer burn Mains: The Buff Burger (3/5) A nice basic burger, reminded me of a burger from a van. Grilled King Prawn Skewers: (0/5) Awful, so underwhelming given the title. They definitely did not use King Prawns and it definitely was not restaurant quality in terms of presentation or flavour even for a diner. This was quite bland and supposedly took over an hour to prepare. They need to go to Billingsgate invest in some actual King Prawns. Sides: (These actually came with our Starters we waited so long for Mains that we’d finished by then) Return of the Mac (5/5) The Man N Cheese was really tasty, and a nice portion size too. Plantain: (5/5) Good portion size, nice and juicy. French Fries: (1/5) Still tasted like chips with freezer burn. Drinks: Pushing Pina (5/5) Orange Juice Pros: we were running late, when I called to move the booking it was done without an issue. The lady on the phone even explained that they had a booking of 45 people and the kitchen was very busy so moving our booking later would work out well because the kitchen would be less busy by the time we arrived. The starters and sides came out quickly with out drinks The salt and pepper squid was the nicest starter we tried, it looked like sweet and sour chicken but it was tasty. The Manager was polite, efficient and had really good customer service skills. We’d cancelled the order due to the wait time but the manager reinstated it and gave us complimentary take away boxes. Cons: We had a booking but the waitress that greeted us looked confused as to what to do or where to seat us. The place lacked ambience and the music playing was notably terrible. Even after moving our booking to a time that worked better around the booking of 45 people, the mains took over an hour to arrive. We saw four people that walked in after us get 4 burgers whilst we waited an hour for just one. we had to get back by a certain time so we cancelled the order due to the wait time and discrepancies on how long it would take from different waitresses. Other than the manager, the staff we saw seemed miserable. Maybe a team visit to another restaurant could give them an insight into the customer service they should aim to deliver and also raise morale."

"Where do I start, we walked and were seated right by the front door which was kept open (it was a windy day). My colleagues and I were already in a bad mood as we had not settled business prior to our visit. Nevertheless we did not let it bother us. We went to order at the counter and they made us order separately instead of paying on one card. My colleague (a wealthy man, who has a knack for comically large desserts) decided to order the ‘birthday extravaganza’ for himself, I (a man of fine dining) and our other colleague Jamie (a man with dread locks). We waited for a reasonable time however we are busy businessmen and reasonable time is not up to par with us. We were not met with our order however we were greeted with 3 chocolate chip smoothies in a jar. As we were businessmen, we grasped our briefcases and decided that this was not good enough and we’re going to take action. We did enjoy the smoothies however we were not aware of the danger that clouded upon us when getting stuck into our drinks. I (a man who isn’t too keen on getting chocolate chips stuck in his throat) took a fair sip on my drink only to find a little chocolate chip had found his way up my straw like Bruce Willis in Die Hard and lodged itself in my throat. I find myself as a calm and collected being and not one to cause a scene, I did like what every other person would do, and started slamming the table out of fear of death. However, none of the workers who were on shift came over to see if I was alright. Luckily my colleague (Brett, a man who has recently purchased a Les Paul guitar) took action and performed the Heimlich manoeuvre on me. And freed the chip from my throat like Lincoln did the slaves. I could not thank my colleague enough as I would’ve died that day in Kaspa’s and that is not the way I want to die (I want to die a heroic death, Iron Man did in Avengers: Endgame). Safe to say, I will not be going to any Kaspa’s restaurant anytime soon. And I hope that this Kaspa fella realises the danger he is causing as I know loads of children who dine in these establishments and pray that nothing of such calibre gets stuck down their throats as their throats are much smaller in girth than mine is. Hopefully, this problem does not happen to anyone else as I do not wish it on my greatest enemy and Kaspa’s find a solution to choking on chocolate chip cookies through a straw."
