"My best friend lives nearby to this lovely little coffee shop and I thought it would be nice for Christmas to get her a selection of Christmas treats from here as I know she uses it regularly and I have popped in here with her for milkshakes and cakes, when I have been to visit her and her lovely girls. The customer service from this small business was incredible, she knew my friend by name and even knew that she had already ordered a Christmas cake from here and kindly recommended switching the Christmas cake in the order for one of her favourite Guinness cakes. Seeing as she had been so accommodating and friendly I asked as a special request if she could put English muffins in as they were a fond shared childhood memory of ours and Corene replied straight away and said she could, no problem. Such a lovely touch that you would probably never get from a large corporate company. I already felt great that I had supported a small business and their customer service really made it a very pleasant experience. I know this year they have extended their range due to covid to provide fresh eggs, milk, lockdown essentials for lots of the locals to have somewhere easy to get these things in a difficult time and just wanted to spread the word of how wonderful they are!"

"The service at this restaurant is excellent! The staff is great and very friendly and welcoming. The manager, Rene, always makes a point to stop and say hello to my family whenever she sees us, even if she is busy. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, and their service is always accompanied by a smile."

"first visit to recommended by friends and very glad to have discovered as beautiful meal. excellent selection of dresses that were chosen very difficult, but the waitress was both very knowledgeable and patient. we started on tempura veg, traveling chicken and salt pepper squid. and all were fresh, tasty and beautiful presented in a metal semi-comb. for our main courses we had a panang curry and chicken roast with cashew nuts and ananas. there was no problem at all in adapting this schirrs to also change some red chili from mild to medium spicy or some basilikum we both love. this is a small place and while we were there a series of people arrived, but were not able to be accommodated, so recommend booking to not be disappointed. despite numerous telephone orders, we were impressed with the speed of the meal that was right. we didn't feel too fast at all, but we also didn't feel that waiting was too long between the directed. we look forward to a return visit and rehearsal of some of the other dishes we have tried. an essential difference to the Thai restaurants in sutton and cheam is the extensive selection of appetizers, suppen and salads. I am often varying when too big a menu, but every dish we tried was delicious. next time we will not choose 3 starter, as none of us could finish our main course, just as we would like! super eating and service, easily accessible from the railway station. very recommended."

"This was our first experience eating in a few weeks ago and I couldn’t feel more uncomfortable when we entered. A very rude and disrespectful woman, short blondish hair), she looked like the owner. She looked at me up and down and failed to say hello- a look of why we were there. When I told her I had a reservation- she was stunned and was very dismissive and after I said we made a reservation she was rather perplexed. We were sat to the table and given one menu to start with. they had a large group dining too- so took up all the menus). There was a nice gentleman who I believe took our booking who was friendly- that’s your lot! Upon ordering, I had forgotten to order a small portion of egg fried rice and when I asked to place an order, the waitress who took our order snapped and said it will take a “long time”. It was for my 3 year old- rice is a staple dish, which does not involve extensive cooking also pre cooked) I found this pretty unreasonable, how could you deny a child food- they didn’t want us there. The food in general was good- however the staff and ambience was abysmal. As an owner, you should be welcoming and friendly- the woman who greeted us- was far from this. She did not want our business as she was seen to pander to the large group of customers she had in the restaurant. A real shame, given this could have been our new local. Note the owner: don’t dismiss people who are coming to your restaurant, we are the people who keep your restaurant going. I would really score this no stars for service or ambience.
