A great place, much valued by the local community. Diverse clientele, wonderful South Asian food (Afghan dishes were available but haven't tried these as yet.) We only had a light lunch but were more than happy. And 3 of us are for less than £25. Astounding value.
We stopped here for a short break while travelling to London and were glad we did. We had the desi omelette with paratha, aloo paratha, halwa puri, chana daal and desi tea. The food was fresh, filling, and comforting - exactly what you want on a long journey. The service was very friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxed, a nice little place to pause, eat well and carry on the journey feeling refreshed.
We spent £10-20 per person as we also packed Nihari for dinner! Lovely food, kadak chai, a paratha and full English with their non-pork bacon and sausage is a must, 100% would recommend for food and service, and the Auntiji (sweet mum vibe) behind the counter gives a homely feel ❤️
I’ve visited this cafe a few times now, and every experience has been consistently excellent. The staff are not only kind and welcoming in how they approach customers, but they also make you feel genuinely valued. I’ve tried their karak, cheesecake, and a few savoury dishes - all of which were absolutely worth every penny. The quality and flavours never disappoint. A special mention to Manpreet, who was quick, attentive, and very easy to talk to. Highly recommend this spot for both the food and the overall experience!
We arrived sat then told to order at the front which we did they were very accommodating answered all the questions and took our orders Order took time to arrive but we ordered joyce and tea which could have been given to us while we waited but this came after the meal The juice was forgotten and we took it to go - no issues Was good food for the price we paid it was a great deal It got busy and seemed famous among the locals They were generous with the food portions It was clean and children friendly They had a good variety of deserts too Would recommend and might revisit again :)
Absolutely amazing service and exceptional food.We are regulars snd have never had a bad experience. Really friendly and warm atmosphere
I was expecting much more if I'm being honest The drinking glasses ...1 glass two plastic which tbh I didn't mind BUT the plastic ones had been scrubbed to the point that they were cloudy .my daughter refused to drink from it so I gave her the glass (I didn't say anything) The food was mediocre not as special as I expected. At the end of the meal the young girl came to clear the table she could see I was holding my drinking glass and was hovering over the table for a long time until I said I'd like to keep my glass and water (we were waiting for hot drinks)felt uncomfortable with that .
Probably one of the worst experience i have had. Ordered starters and waited 10 minutes for a Nan and there was only 1 table of customer's that have had there food served ( so wasn't even busy ). Asked 3 times if my Nan was ready and waiter kept saying " 2 minutes ". Food was rubbish though the chicken grill leg piece was ok. Shami kebab was a joke. The chicken jalfrezi had no TASTE whatsoever. Its like they used water to make it instead of oil. The salad looked like a 6 year old plated it. I went to this place looking at the ratings and left disappointed. Got kashmiri pink chai to go and even that had a funny smell and taste. Definitely not going back and would not recommend it. Over rated for sure. You can get better food from places near like Spice Hut and Shawarma Grill etc...
Nan chana is the best dish of Aisha's cafe. Balanced spices and oil otherwise other breakfast desi cafes put so much oil that you can not feel the real taste just the oil. Tried karak chaye and mango lassi both were delicious. Had halwa pori aswell that was tasty aswell. I always felt home made food. Sitting area is better than before nice place to sit with family. Reasonable prices. Must try it.
Went on Sunday afternoon with 20 members of the family and we all enjoyed it. The paratha and achar were lovely and the English breakfast was very filling. We ordered the food and waited 20 mins before it arrived. So when you guys go make sure your prepared to wait. The staff were brilliant and the lady that I assume owns it was brilliant host and looked after everyone that was there. Will definitely come back.
