The food was very tasty and well-presented, and I especially enjoyed the dhal with rice and one of the smoothies. However I really miss the fish tank that they used to have in the cafe a few months ago, and the little white doggy, which I didn't see this time 😢
I visited to pick up the 'Magic Bag' from the Too Good To Go App (Buy a portion of random leftover food). I got to sample the spicy Falafel, a portion of Daal and boiled rice, couscous with red beans, carrot, brown lentils, cabbage and beetroot and a spring roll. The Falafels were really tasty and the food good value and very hearty. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the vicinity of Afflecks Palace (It is on the ground floor Oldham Street entrance).
I had the vegan breakfast which exceeded my expectations, although I felt the placement of a spring roll and falafel was quite random. It was the first time I tried tofu and it was extremely nice. Even the toast was spot on! For £6, it was good value for money, especially knowing I could eat everything in the cafe without having to worry. The smoothies were nice too, but were a bit more like juice since they weren’t as thick as a smoothie. I really enjoyed the vibe of the cafe as everyone was so friendly there, it really reminded me of a cafe I used to work at with its chill atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back. They’re also on this fantastic app called ‘Too Good To Go’ which gives you the food a place has leftover at the end of the day at a reduced price so that it doesn’t go to waste! Definitely check it out if you want to save food from being wasted, or just fancy a surprise for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Vegan review: Ordered a ‘too-good-to-go’, I got soup which was tasty plus a box of rice, falafel, spring roll and salad. Good value for money!
Amazing! Really good food for really good prices. Would eat here again.
