The food is good and you get an amazing atmosphere at Boxpark. Overall, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this place.”

“Went here last Thursday as heard they did a good quiz night. Had a burger and a couple of pints of Guinness zero; burger was top notch, proper gourmet stuff and we really enjoyed the quiz, we somehow won! Only downside was that it was a bit quiet, probably helped us win the quiz though. Staff were great, very friendly and welcoming.”

“I've had various wraps, the biryani and other dishes from the restaurant on many occasions and it's definitely the best place to get Indian take-away. I think my favourite is the lamb curry but everything is really nice! I don't often publish reviews about food but this is very good. I would highly recommend!”

“I called due to a problem with my order, this was solved fast and without any negative communication. Food is well worth the price thank you brother.”

“lovely staff and good amount of seating area. i had the cinnamon roll more than once it was very nice! not everyone can perfect the roll but it suited my preference for it well. there’s an upstairs with a lighter environment great for doing work and a downstairs area which is a bit moodier but a nice place to read books just depending on your preference.”

“Friendly staff, amazing coffee and very good portuguese products”

“Priscilla's Tea room team catered for our wedding on 2nd April and we couldn't recommend them more enthusiastically. All your questions are answered before you even ask them, everything is organised impeccably, so you don't have to stress. The staff, the food (!!!), the skills...everyone at Priscilla's is a gem! Whatever type of party you're planning, go go go! Call them! :))”

“Affordable and good all day breakfast i enjoy it so much :)”

“I recently stumbled upon this hidden gem of a café tucked away on a quiet side street, and it instantly became my new favorite spot in the city! From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance enveloped me—soft lighting, plush seating, and the irresistible aroma of freshly ground coffee beans wafting through the air. The baristas are true artists; my latte came with intricate foam art that was almost too beautiful to drink (but I did, and it was perfection—rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced). The menu is a delightful mix of classics and innovative twists: I opted for the avocado toast with poached eggs and a side of their house-made granola parfait, and every bite was fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. What really sets this place apart is the attention to detail—the friendly staff remembered my name on my second visit, and they even have a rotating selection of local pastries that are baked daily. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or lingering over brunch with friends, this café nails it every time. Affordable prices, impeccable service, and a vibe that's equal parts relaxing and invigorating. 5 stars without hesitation—do yourself a favor and go! ☕✨2.1sFast”

“Nice people, nice service, great food. Was quiet but that was fine with me. Very tasty. Recommend.”

“Went out to do some work on essays for my degree. Café Davinci was great, I not only had space to listen to a lecture, bit also enjoyed a toasted ciabatta, Portuguese tart, slice of cake and copious amounts of tea! (All reasonably priced!)”

“First time I've been in a very diverse cafe, and it was excellent. Absolutely good friendly atmosphere with very good staff who are attentive and friendly. The food is ok,and value for money with good portion size, home cooked feeling. Though I would say the pancake looked really good. Would we come again. YES.”

“I have been ordering from them for over a decade now, and the food is consistently good and very reasonable. I highly recommend the Jade Dragon Special Crispy Noodles, which has an assortment of vegetables and several meats and a house special sauce completes the dish, a complete meal in itself for under £7. The prawn crackers are fresh and flavourful, and they've been very kind and helpful when I was convalescing and needed dishes tailored. Always delivered cheerfully, no matter the weather (thank you!).”

“Food is delicious, especially the chicken and black bean sauce and Hong Kong style chicken. Really sweet lady who works in the store. Delivery is super fast. Originally we use to go to phoenix, but their food quality dropped, so we tried new star and have been happy ever since.”

“Massive breakfast, tasty. Bread and rolls really nice, good price too”

“The fox and hound is a traditional Irish style pub. Friendly and helpful staff. Beers such as Stella, Guinness ect. No craft beers but good draft. this keeps the pub affordable. Karaoke on a Friday nights and live music on a Saturday. The Wolfe tones often play here.”

“Found this place in centrale, halal food. Had an amazing wrap. Very friendly staff. We should support our local businesses.”

“very nice food, clean and tidy workplace I would recommend to everyone.”
