I ordered the lahmacun and the chicken shish plate with rice. For my drink, I chose ayran. I also love that they serve complimentary bread and dip at the beginning of the meal and a piece of turkish delight at the end of it! Everything I had was super tasty and the meat was good quality. The portions are large too and my meal kept me full for the rest of the day. The interior is beautifully decorated. I also appreciate that you can see a lot of the food and kitchen upon the entrance. I love the different lighting pieces they have and the decorative cutting boards on the wall. It also is air conditioned inside which provided some much needed relief after a long hot walk outside.

We started with the papadam with chutney assortment. There was plenty of everything in the assortment, and the papadaum was fresh and crispy. When it came time to order, everything sounded so delicious, and I was amused at how things seemed to be spelled slighlty differently than in the US. I decided on Lamb tikka masala, while Jimmy got the Chicken Korai spicy. We also got rice and naan for each of us. The food was delicious. The sauces were rich and flavorful. The meat was tender, not dry. The naan was slightly crunchy on the bottom and fluffy on top, just the way I love it. The portions were generous. We definitely could have been full from half as much food. Service was great, making sure that our water glasses were filled (perhaps they were worried about Jimmy ordering spicy food) and always checking that we had everything we needed.

Covers a fair amount of rooms/space in between the buildings etc. It's however a Greene King owned location now so perhaps not the flexibility of drinks as others. I don't try the food in this trip, but tried the Greene King IPA (the defacto US "Budweiser" sold beer in over 2500 pubs owned by them, but better than an US mass sold beer), and then a local Reggie's Turf beer. You can use the Greene King (GK) mobile app to order (QR code on each table), and there is an open bar area (with a low ceiling) to order some locals that are not in the GK app. Service is friendly and courteous! What I have experienced so far is that the WiFi is the same in any Greene King (GK) owned location :-)

We sat in the beer garden, and around us college kids chatted, a couple next to us was maybe on a first date?, just people of all types. And we drank. Drank in the warmth of the early fall day. Drank in welcome gulps, or quiet glugs. Drank away the beginnings of what would be a long day. Drank away the start of what would be a long night. Just a fun as hell kinda place. And old too. Some parts of the building have been there since the 1300s. And if you love history, or Hollywood, it's said that C.S. Lewis , Stephen Hawking, and Bill Clinton used to hang out (not together LOL). And where Billy boy allegedly "didn't inhale." Ahhh the 90s, am I right?

From the folks that brought you the Handle Bar downtown, this is sure to be your favorite neighborhood cafe. The space is cozy and charming and the food is delicious. The menu might not seem long, but it has everything you could want - sweet, savory, full, light. The ingredients are locally sourced. The coffee smells great. The baked goods look amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my poached eggs with kale and hollandaise. The eggs were perfectly poached, the kale nice and soft, and hollandaise mustardy to add tang to the creaminess of the egg yolk. Jane had poached eggs with smoked salmon, and Oli had the Full House with extra mushrooms instead of tomatoes. There was also a side of beetroot hummus that was a tasty as its rich pink color was inviting. Nothing but happy tongues and tummies around the table.

I went here to get a matcha and work on my computer. The matcha was basically just milk. The place was not horribly busy when I got there but it filled up very fast and someone else ended up sitting at my table for four, which is quite fair as I am only one person. It became very crowded and felt quite chaotic, I kept looking around to see if anyone else was just drinking something but it seemed like most people were eating lunch. After around an hour there, one of the waiters came up to me and told me that laptops were not allowed because they were so busy so I picked up my stuff and left. I think it could be very nice to hang out in there if it was not so busy, the chairs were comfortable and nice and there was seating inside, outside, and downstairs. This might just not be a good place to do work, or to get matcha; my two tasks lol.
