After reading a few of the reviews on here, I felt I must have been on an odd day since my opinions…read moredo not parallel the rest. But the previous reviews are 2010-2013... SO, 2 YEARS LATER..... Wednesday afternoon I came here and making my way to a nearby hotel. I would have dined somewhere else if there were anywhere available nearby but decided to take a chance here. I wish I ventured somewhere else. The place was spacious and had lots of food to order. However, what is the point of space when practically no one is there to attend to you. The waitress or cashier, saw us for a few minutes, nobody bothered. We had to go to them and ask them for a menu and order. by this point i lost interest and decided to take away. While waiting, I decided to buy a 1.5LT Evian bottle (NOT THE LARGEST) . This woman looked at me and said one moment, I asked how much it was and she left me and took another lady talking in their dialect and looked at me. She said it was £3,20. I buy the very same thing for £1.90.... I paid it annoyed because it wasn't even cooled and i didnt see the reason of it being so pricey. Moving onto the food, we purchased and paid. We ate and the amount of dark sauce swimming around the "FRIED NOODLE" made us think we ordered noodle soup instead. I mean as we opened the Tupperware, the black sauce was oozing out and it seemed like it was more of noodle soup than black bean soup. I order Pork chop with rice. It arrived as RICE AT THE BOTTOM, GRAVY AND 2 MASHED WHATEVER. The only good food we order was the vegs spring rolls and squid balls. Barely edible. I hate low reviews but this one, it had to be done.

We have driven past this place for years and kept saying, "we need to try this out". So, we finally…read morestopped. And it was a good decision. It reminds me a bit of a cafeteria, which is fine. Service is quick and meals are very reasonable. The menu is HUGE with a variety of Chinese, Thai and Malaysian cuisines. We got a few starters as well as mains, all of which were tasty. They do have beers and wine as well as non-alcoholic choices. Service it's spot on and friendly. The restaurant brings in a mixed crowd and there were a few people stopping by for take-away. And with two hour parking available at Homebase plus multiple buses nearby, it's an easy to access sorry if place. Along with the restaurant, there also exists a bakery, which was closed in the evening. Might have to check it out!

Some of the staff can be a bit short, but on the whole they're friendly enough. They've got tables now to make it a little more cafe style but there are some things (mostly beef related) that they don't allow to be eaten in store. Most of their pastries look good and the ones that I've tried are tasty if a little stodgy. Not being close to a tube station, I don't visit that often but if given the chance, they're one of the better bakeries out there.

Excellent bagels! Better than Park Patisserie, not as good as Beigel Bake in Brick Lane which has…read morethe best in London, and which are actually a lot cheaper too. Nice thing about this place is that they have a large variety of pastries and bread, as well as several big coolers with prepared sandwiches, egg salad, cream cheese, etc., and they don't run out of bread in the late afternoon like some bakeries. Wish I could pay with a car for transactions under 10 pounds though. I don't get why that's such a problem everywhere. I mean, ffs, just charge me the extra 20p for the transactions costs or whatever, don't make me waste 15 minutes of my time walking to a nearby ATM.

Everything is freshly baked and delicious. but what makes this place even better is the friendly staff. They are all very warm and welcoming and make you feel part of the family. I've been coming to this place for a few months now, but they know both my and my family's tastes, so they always keep a loaf for me if I can't manage to go there in the morning. Great service and food at even greater prices.

I was drawn in by the rainbow bagels - having seen them in the press from other places, I just had…read moreto try them. The whole bakery is full of things I wanted to try, but this time I was focussed on the bagels. at 70p each (in a pack of 3) they're not cheap but it's all the novelty value. The lady behind the counter was friendly and also pointed out the biscuits they make with a multi-coloured dough, which were little triangle things filled with poppy seed stuff. I stuck with the bagels, but the biscuits actually looked less weird than the bagels! The bagels taste like a decent bagel, but it's hard to tell if they're toasted enough and your brain will think it should be sweet (probably why they serve them with sweet cream cheese in the States!). I wouldn't get them again, but I would come back to the bakery for 'normal' treats.

This time's it's the turn of combined kosher bakery and cafe Mr Baker. You can eat in or takeaway. They offer hot food like my beloved shakshuka, eggs, even pizza but also bagels, sandwiches, and baked goods like biscuits and cakes. We ordered tea and hot chocolate and one almond macaroon. Why only one you macaroon you may ask? The answer is boringly, because they have a £5 minimum card spend. My hot chocolate was pretty decent, but the cup handle was covered in goey chocolate - which then went all over my hands. The decor wasn't the most inviting but could while away a bit of time in here. All in all pleasant enough.
