Sandwish was very tasty but need to improve the cake & briscut qulity. Customer service was very good. Very reasonable price. Highly recommened.
Business Response:
Thank you Lorna for your review. Hope to see you visit again. Are you able to elaborate a bit more on what you mean biscuit quality? It's a set Indian afternoon tea and at busy periods we have to replicate and serve fresh. In order to do that we limit variation, but our cakes and biscuit are of very good quality. Pistachio biscuits are not the standard biscuits, hence why I'm asking.- Overall: 8/10

Had the Indian afternoon tea. Nice toasties, pani puri and milk cake. Masala chai was too sweet for me (I chose the less sweet option), I wish they had a sugar-free option like some other places.
