    For a lovely setting we ( group of 6) we're very disappointed with the service and overall experience at the canteen. One of our party has a severe egg allergy, no-one was able to confirm safe items, the allergy board they had was incomplete and the actual menu showed some items as free from various ingredients yet reading the menu you could clearly see this was wrong. The staff we're clueless and wandered back and forth, the table next to us had been waiting over an hour. Even the drinks were poor, 2 lemonade's,2 coke's and 2 orange juice s our table had to send back 4 out of 6 drinks due to staff error or poor quality

    Incredible flavours and unique plates, lovely setting and it even smelled amazing. Had to ask for drink menus but apart from that it was perfect. Everything was well explained, it was hard to choose what to try.

    Superb food, especially loved the Paratha/porrotha and beef and bone marrow curry. Really good cocktails and complimentary chai! Lovely atmosphere although I thought the pendant/ceiling lamps hung down right at eye level, obstructing my view of our company. A bit understaffed as service was slower than usual and our friend was also charged twice on her credit card.
