I arrived with every intention of ordering fish and chips, but the Chickpea Veg Curry on the menu caught my eye—and I'm so glad it did!
The curry was absolutely delicious: fresh, wholesome, and clearly made with love and care by the wonderful Lilian herself. Every mouthful was bursting with flavour, and for anyone who appreciates healthy, nourishing food, this dish is a real treat that will leave both your taste buds and your gut happy.
The surprises didn't end there. Lilian introduced me to a delightful selection of herbal teas, including some wonderful Pukka blends. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience extra special.
What set this place apart was not only the delicious curry but Lilian and the team's incredible warm welcome, kindness and attentiveness, creating an atmosphere that felt both relaxed and genuine. Thank you!
Date of visit: May 2026
