I had a highly disappointing experience. I found hair and an ant in my takeaway order, which was shocking and unhygienic. When I tried to address this with the café, they provided a false email address and made unconvincing excuses without resolving the issue. They also stopped responding to my calls showing a complete lack of accountability. I cannot recommend this place due to their poor food quality and terrible customer service. Avoid if you value hygiene and professionalism.

Awesome school holiday find with the kids. Tucked in Picadilly arcade in the central city, there is lots of nice food here at a reasonable price - toasted sandwiches $7.50, coffees under $6. Kiddos wanted bubble tea which is $7.50 and was so tasty. Nice cup to takeaway and reuse too. Away from street noise and wind, lots of seating.

We love this cafe. It’s our go to spot whenever my wife and I can’t decide what to eat. We usually come here for the Indian food, and honestly it’s some of the best in town. The menu isn’t huge and they don’t try to do every curry under the sun, but what they do make, especially the street food and thali, is always spot on.
We almost always order the thali. Not knowing which two curries you’re going to get makes it a fun little surprise each time. The other day we got kofta and it was easily one of the best I’ve had in a long while. The dahi puri and sev puri are also seriously good.
I’ve been coming here for about 15 years now and have seen a few different owners over that time. The current owners are fantastic, warm, welcoming, and clearly care about the food they serve. Always a great experience.

We stopped in for a late lunch. Partner was hungry! He ordered the big breakfast option, which really didn't hit the sides for the price! Eggs were hard, one slice of baron, half tomato. Wasn't overall happy at the size to feed his hunger! My order was creamy mushrooms! The first time, I had to eat with a spoon! But the Ice Coffee was nice and sweet, could've been colder.

Cute little cafe, affordable food which explains my 2 small pieces of bacon.
Food took quite awhile to come out. Would recommend if you're not overly hungry and have the patience to wait for the chickens to lay the eggs.
