Cafe 12 in Hackney

La comida, el servicio y la gente más increíbles. ¡Andrei es una estrella! Un ambiente tan agradable y nos impresionó mucho la comida que se compraron para una cena de grupo. ¡Puede satisfacer todas las necesidades dietéticas!

Gracias Sandy y Andre, convirtieron un chocolate caliente en un cliente de por vida. Después de conocerte, ver la comida, luego describir los platos y quedar cautivado por el maravilloso aroma que proviene de la cocina. La comida era sensacional, fresca, de gran sabor y la pasión que tienes por la buena comida y unir a las personas se refleja en tu comida. Un lugar increíble. No puedo esperar a verte por unas hamburguesas (para llevar) la semana que viene. Nos vemos hermana; )

Un encantador café familiar en Shoreditch, que sirve comida deliciosa tanto para los que comen carne como para los vegetarianos. Los propietarios son muy amables, ¡lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

Un patron adorable, des produit excellents, des recette goûteuses, des prix donnés, une petite salle vintage. What else ?

Cafe 12 is amazingggg. Me and my partner visited yesterday and the service from Andre and his lovely host (sorry can’t remember your name) was next level. This is the type of local cafe you want to support. We both got the lasagna, it was so goood and the portion was massive. Andre (owner) even brought us some fresh pesto he’d made himself. Whilst we were eating he asked us if we like spicy food, we said yes a bit confused as obviously our food was already there. However Andrew then brought us a complimentary plate of chilli carne to share, it was honestly the best chilli ever had in my life- after taking loads of pictures of us. They had a lot of fresh ingredients that I’ve never really had before, like green tomatoes, green peppercorns, fresh scotch bonnet sauce. Everything was 10/10. Thank you so much we’ll definitely be back!!

Really wonderful food with a great variety of options all cooked right in front of you. The orange juice is also super fresh! Highly recommend abs was a great start to my holiday ! Very quaint restaurant and the staff are lovely too !

Just go - it’s awesome. Food always great and the owner is probably the best restauranteur going around for atmosphere. When it is open it’s brilliant - but call ahead because sometimes it’s closed for events randomly.

What an absolutely charming place! We came over Cafe12 by dumb luck and were utterly pleased! The food was delicious, the staff serviceminded, relaxed and fun, and the venue is really charming. An absolute must in Hackney!

I don't normally write reviews unless they are bad but this place was amazing. Food was yummy (had a full breakfast) the roof terrace was a cute escape and the guy serving was just so kind!!! Honestly couldn't recommend enough. Saw it on google on yelp this morning, and the reviews were great had to check it out and so glad we did!!! Also great value for money with vegan, veggie and alternative options

This hidden place, in a suburb, with a small entrance, does not shine like the place to eat in London. The visible kitchen looks like that of the average eatery. However, the place is more than worth the trip. The small dining room, exiguous steps to the open air function room, have an imitable air of cosiness. The surprises come from the food, cooked and displayed with undeniable talent. Service is definitely personal, contributing to the atmosphere of this special place. We were initially suspicious when we saw, on TripAdvisor, few or no critical reviews, and a lot of reviews that verge on a collection of comments from a fan club. We can hereby confirm (1) there are good reasons for that; we invite readers to see for themselves (2) the staff did not invite any tame customer to leave a review, or did anything to game the review system.

A great breakfast fantastic coffee lovely setting in Shoreditch London, A must visit when in the area great value, Five Star home style food 🌞

Alweer de derde keer sinds 2013 dat we in Londen hebben gegeten bij Andrei. We voelen ons daar direct thuis en worden altijd gastvrij onthaald. Geen a la carte maar wat de kok maakt. Dit met alle liefde en met verse ingrediënten bereid met een persoonlijke uitleg en bediening. Andrei is erg enthousiast en bevlogen. De porties zijn soms wat groot maar oh zo lekker en helemaal niet duur. De keuken is mediterraans met diverse andere invloeden. Kortom een hidden gem in Shoreditch!

I am regularly buying takeaways. My favourite dish is lemon chicken with baked potatoes. Taste is fantastic - as home cooked food. They have nicely arranged seating area inside and the garden. They allow to bring own drinks (corkage fee applicable).

Cenamos aqui Encantador ambiente acogedor, mezcla diversa de clientes. Andrei el chef fue muy amable, entretenido y divertido. Él era flexible en adaptar la comida a lo que yo quisiera (buena variedad de opciones), y bueno en sugerir cosas que me gustaría, incluyendo cosas que no hubiera pensado probar yo mismo. Comí un plato rumano con pollo (en salsa de tomate / ajo / pimienta) y puré de papas mezclado con anchoas. Inesperado, pero fue increíblemente bueno, muy sabroso. Los tamaños de las porciones son abundantes, pero el precio era muy razonable.

We went for dinner on a Friday night, the food was amazing, but the chef, he was the best. Very amazing night.

This is the sort of food your mother would cook if she was skilled at cooking Italian, Turkish and Thai food. Just tell the chef what you love and hate to eat and he will come up with the perfect meal for you. We were a group of four. One liked fish, one liked meat and 2 were vegetarian and we all had the most wonderful food. There is no alcohol license but I think you can bring your own. Delicious cakes and the best coffee in London. Do phone to book because they are often booked out for private parties. Strongly recommended.

Me encanta este lugar ya que es un restaurante en una zona que está lleno de cadenas o plena de cafeterías que por los turistas. Nos presentamos en 1700 y inicialmente fueron cerrar temprano debido al fútbol. Maravillosamente, que permanecía abierta para nosotros que era lo mejor y tuvimos un pequeño candado en. Tuvimos una comida increíble preparado para nosotros el manguito por el chef que era amable y muy divertido. El chef preparado nunca hubiera elegido, y me sorprendió gratamente y me alegro de estar completamente en manos de los chefs. La comida es sana, sabrosa y fresca. El chef accomedated para vegetarianos y no nos defraudó. Ninguno de nosotros son locales a este lugar, pero todas tienen decidido volver aquí para comer. El precio era generoso y nuestra panza estaban llenos. Incluso si no un gran molino, el café es para morirse, el chef incluso hizo todo lo posible para conseguir coca cola anothr de la tienda cuando se acabó! No subestimar este pequeño lugar - es agradable y sin complicaciones. Es un centro comunitario y un paraíso social. Volveremos.

dipped in to Cafe 12 yesterday - a sunny Sunday afternoon in Shoreditch - dishes on display in window, with great variety of peppers and squashes. friendly service. tiny nook upstairs for eating. plateful of lamb and chicken. cooked to a tee. nice n easy.

We arrived for a very late lunch and the cafe was shut but they let us come in and have a drink on their terrace upstairs while they finished cooking. Our meal was simple but delicious and the staff couldn't have been nicer.

Pensamos probarlo como vivimos localmente y la comida en la ventana siempre parece tan delicioso. No nos decepcionó. Fuimos un sábado por la noche y no tuve ningún problema para conseguir una mesa en el comedor acogedor, aunque había un rumor bien como mucha gente yendo y viniendo para conseguir llevar. Lasaña de carne que tanto pedimos que era deliciosa (y una porción muy generosa) y venía con una ensalada maravillosa y verduras asadas. También nos dieron houmous, pan y pesto, y algunas otras cosas para probar la carne de cangrejo (incluyendo algunos deliciosos, el chef estaba probando una nueva receta - y el asado de cerdo) en la casa. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y por 9 libras cada uno (no incluye bebidas) - es byob nos impresionó mucho. Sin duda volveremos!

The food was really tasty, you have the choice of your meat that is cut in front of you. Very good value for money

Un cuisinier exceptionnel avec une gentillesse qui n'a d'égal que l'originalite de ses plats. Tellement abordable qu'on se demande ou est l'embrouille. Je ne peux que recommander ce restaurant qui vous offre un excellent repas, un moment agréable et une belle rencontre avec André un chef pétillant et passionné.

The duck is something special. Andre (chef) is brilliant. He claims he's a rubbish waiter, he's not. He's up there with the best and a wonderful chef. Highly recommended. Lovely people. Lovely food. And I never leave reviews. Hats off.

Cocinan como mama hace aquí, sólo que mejor. El menú cambia diariamente y ofrece varias opciones, básicamente, ir al mercado por la mañana y decidir qué hacer para el día, y una vez los platos se han desaparecido, no están. Me he comido aquí muchas veces y todo ha sido delicioso. Un par de noches a la semana también hamburguesas a la orden, que se encuentran entre las mejores hamburguesas que jamás el sabor. Los precios también son ridículamente razonables. En noches cálidas se puede comer en su terraza de la azotea. También hacen llevar.

Paseando por Shoreditch hambrientas nos llamó la atención y decidimos comer allí. Increíble lugar, genial atención y excelente comida la cual es totalmente casera, raciones generosas y riquísima. Subiendo unas escaleras hay una maravillosa terraza donde tomamos un buen café. Todo costó unos £10 aproximadamente. Totalmente recomendable y para repetir.

Un grupo de 18 de nosotros fuimos allí para nuestra cena anual de Navidad y era excelente. El servicio era excepcional y la comida era deliciosa. Gran tamaño de las porciones, llena de sabor y en un entorno encantador relajado. Recomiendo encarecidamente este café y...

Vinimos aquí con una multitud de 9 personas a las 11:00 am después de una ceremonia de boda civil. Nos sirvieron un gran, abundante y excelente degustación de "brunch" con muchos campos. El mundo era muy amable y servicial. Uno de nosotros tocaba el piano mientras otro cantó. Tremenda diversión.

Great coffee and very polite service.Quirky cafe small but suitable with a good passing take and roof top seating if preferred.

We came specifically to Cafe 12 on TA reviews as we're staying in a hotel nearby.Thank you so much TA reviewers below mine, it has been our best meal in London so far. The lasagne was perfecto, beef was well seasoned and tasty (do note food was warmed up in a microwave though). I loved it from the first bite to the last bite. Portion is huge but we managed to polish everything off our plates due to how delicious the meal was.Rooftop terrace was a great place to dine, with lovely tunes, warm sunshine and the cool breeze. Our afternoon couldn't have been better!

Everyone is very friendly and nice people. There do special food and homemade food every day when there are opening. I would definitely recommand to come to this place to eat/drink and it's worth your money once you go there. :)

We were lost looking for a different place to eat and the delicious smell of Cafe 12 lured us in. The service was absolutely incredible, portions were very generous and the food was delicious! The atmosphere was very cool and relaxing and we stayed for about three hours enjoying ourselves. This is really an amazing place!

Finally made it to Cafe 12 and I'm sure I will be going there again and again. The staff were really friendly, the place is very cosy and down to earth. The little terrace was perfect for a lazy Sunday lunch. Food is freshly cooked everyday and the coffee was very decent, for a great value!

Just visited on Saturday night. The window full of yummy colours and ingredients lured us in even more. it smells like fresh home cooked dinner by a member of family! the lady is soo lovely and friendly. downstairs was full so we sat on the goregous fairylit terrace. she tended to everyone with an assistant and we didnt feel like we were made to wait. The food was sooooo well cooked. I had seabass, grilled veg and cous cous and my partner had lemon chicken with salad and roast potatoes. It was so cosy and romantic. Felt like a family dinner party i strongly recommend you vsiit and almost dont want to tell everyone! great coffee too!

Just been walking around to find some lunch and was drawn in by the food in the window. As soon as I entered the smell was amazing and I was greeted with a warm welcome and a run down of the available food. You could tell the chef lives and breaths this place. The food was perfect well worth £6 for a take away pasta and salad. I would recommend this place to any one and when Iam back in the area I will be back there.

Joined in for lunch, my first at Cafe 12, and was informed that the lunch menus change from day-to-day, all of which looked fantastic. Once settled on the creamy chicken and mushrooms with basmati rice and side salad, I chose the sofa seating up on the roof terrace. It was very relaxed and perfect after the long lazy stroll i'd embarked on previously. It was a wonderful meal prepared by Nicky (spelling may be an issue) and service was full of the friendly accommodation you'd hope for from Sandy (again, sorry if it's any different). I plan to return for burger night either fri/sat. You wouldn't regret it if you did too.

Chef Andrei's cooking is like a good jazz concert ..exceptional improvisation!All in all ...cosy, tasteful, homey, delicious, fun, excellent!

Wir waren auf dem Weg zu unserem Apartment, als es zu regnen anfing. Also flüchteten wir ins Café 12, wo wir sehr freundlich und unkompliziert empfangen wurden - trotz unserem Reisegepäck. Frisch gepresster Orangensaft, heiße Schokolade, Cappuccino und leckere Pastries. Während wir dort waren, kamen viele Locals vorbei, um sich etwas von dem hausgemachten Essen in der Auslage zu holen.

I would recommend this place for any of the meals they serve. the ambience is very relaxed, almost homey and rustic... the flavours sublime. I've mostly had lunches here and not only are the portions huge and incredibly generous, every meal comes with a free side salad. There are always at least 3 or 4 dishes to choose from which you can combine with a variety of starches like roast potatoes, jasmine rice or pastas. I've had whole grilled mackarel, roast lamb, roast chicken, gnocchi, pasta, and the massaman currym to mention a few of the dishes. Each dish is tasty and delicious. I'm moving cities soon and can honestly say that I found this place too late in my stay in London... great prices as well and just so worth it. Oh and the people are fantastic too, with the chef often letting you taste things and explaining what's what to you with great enthusiasm. a must visit.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who's travelling to Shoreditch/Bethnal Green. Located on Hackney Road, close to the intersection with Colombia Road, it's moments from the famous Columbia Road Flower Market. I ate there on various occasions and every time the food was incredible and in BIG portions. The burgers, lamb, English Breakfast or tripe soup are a must try (better than some much more expensive restaurants). The people there are also extremely nice - Sandy, Aliyah and Andrei - I can call them close friends by now. Can't wait to go back!

Wir waren Mittags dort. Es gab eine Auswahl von 5-6 Gerichten (sowohl vegetarisch als auch mit Fleisch), alle frisch zubereitet und sehr appetitanregend. Dazu bekommt man einen Salat und es gibt Cola und Biolimonaden zum Dazubestellen. Das Lokal selbst ist mit den verschiedensten Möbeln bunt eingerichtet und hat einen kleinen Balkon, der besonders nett ist. Alles in allem - sehr zu empfehlen.

The burger I had from cafe 12 is easily the best burger I have had during my time in London. I have been here twice and both times tried their delicious chorizo burger. Starting from the meat in this burger which is cooked to perfection and also the amazing quality of the patties. It's not only their food that is appealing for a visit to cafe 12, it is the overall good vibe of a friendly cafe with amazing staff. There is also a rooftop terrace within this cafe which is great for time relaxing. Overall this is easily one of my favourite places to eat in London. With burgers as good as the ones they make I am happy to pay their prices, in terms of value for money it is great.

I've now eaten here a few times, but the food is simply amazing. I've eaten at breakfast, lunch and dinner now. The breakfasts are huge, lunch is healthy and tasty, dinner is like a medieval feast. Their burgers are simply the best and I'm comparing it to places like Meat Mission, Dirty Burger and 5 Guys/Honest. How does such a small, non chain place do so well? I can only imagine it's because they are passionate about food and not money.

Everything is so good about this place. From outside it looks like a normal cafe from east london but it's so much more than that. From the moment you get in, the staff is extremely warm and welcoming and they recommend their food. We chose two veggie burgers with portobello mushrooms and truffle oil which were beyond delicious. We were lucky to have the sun out so we decided to have them on their little roof terrace (main reason why we went in at first). Also, great price for clearly homemade food. Really, really recommended!

Cafe 12 is one of my absolute favorite hidden gems in all of London! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this amazing restaurant one of my first weeks living in Shoreditch, and simply love it. As a recent transplant from the US, I now take all of my visitors and local friends here, and everyone absolutely raves about it. Sandy, (the owner), her daughter and team create the loveliest experience in East London. From the eclectic decor, to brilliant service, and incredible food; each of my senses is rendered fulfilled upon each visit. I highly recommend their English breakfast, as it is truly the best in town--from the coffee to the beans, sausages, toast and grilled veggies--it can't be missed! Each of the other dishes that Sandy creates is equally as spectacular. They also do takeaway on weekdays, and all of their price points are quite fair, particularly for the quality and amount of food! Please do yourself a favor and encounter this delightful place yourself; I sincerely hope you love it!

I got here by accident, but I was very pleasantly suprised. The place has a nice atmosphere, but I must admit the best thing there was a lasagne I was served. Easily the best I have ever eaten. And I'm a big fan of lasagne, so what a big suprise it was to accidentialy run across it

By chance I found this little gem and was blown away by the very friendly staff and excellent smoked steak burger! Have since revisited and ended up enjoying a fantastic dish of pasta and perfect steak along with a dance with the head chef. Definately something for food lovers and people looking for a familiar admosphere.

brilliant reception from very friendly staff, thanks so much for great meal and lovely rooftop terrace. we visited the day after they opened for the evening - from previous reviews and details on TA, thought it was always open in the evenings but just a recent advancement! thoroughly recommended, nice burgers and a couple of veggie options with nice side options too. hope the fuller menu might be available in the evening in future too?

I visit this café regularly when im in London - tasty coffee, fresh juice, and most importantly fresh home cooked food from scratch. Bbq chicken, veggie lasagna, tasty salads etc. for a good price. I absolutely love the staff- always friendly and it feels like being home away from home. Wifi and the New rooftop terrace makes a nice place for warmer days, and its rarely crowded so good place to work or just enjoy a meal.

Intended to fine here based in the excellent trip advisor reviews. They "should" be open on Sunday evening but just walked over and they are closed. I would call before stopping by.

Most (or all) of the entrées we ordered were under £7, and could easily fetch double that a few miles west, nearer central London. The BBQ pork was truly outstanding, as was the spinach and feta pie. The burger had a lot more spices (breadcrumbs?) mixed in than what I am accustomed to (my preferred burger patty is just beef, salt, and pepper), so if you're a burger purist, keep that in mind. My 7yr old says the bacon and cheese pasta was really good, but she's 7, so take that for what its worth.Overall, great prices, great food (depending on what you order), and friendly service. Again, I strongly recommend the BBQ pork.

This place is just amazing! I always walk past it to work and was starving so thought I would nip in to grab some food to takeaway, little did I know! I was in a pretty bad mood from work and couldn't decide on food so the lovely lady behind the counter helped me and then the guy over the other side joined in, plus 2 italians who I assume were regulars customers. Soon enough we were all laughing and joking they all began to sing and dance and make me dance as well joining me in on all the jokes, even though they had no clue who I was (I know sounds like some kind of film). It is literally just full of the friendliest happiest people, eating and making the best food. It is a must visit!

We saw this place on tripadvisor and with high expectations went to check it out... And it exceed all expectations. Based a short walk from Old street we were expecting a swamped cafe, but it was very quiet. If you head upstairs there is a roof terrace which gets the sunshine for hours! The roof terrace is completely silent and you feel completely removed from London as you sit Soaking up the sun in the midst of the roofs. The coffee was good and we weren't hurried to leave but left to soak up the sun! There was one waitress that day and she was lovely-Made real effort and was very friendly.

Found myself alone up on the balcony one bright spring morning, having a treat of a veggie breakfast and squeezed OJ prepared by host lady Sandy. My first of many visits.

This lovely little place I found a couple of years agoI was walking pass and I saw in the window very colourful homemade Dishes all Mediterranean the aubergines have been the best I've had in a very long time and the lasagna is my tasty favourite, there's a great fish dish which does very well Peppers and the aubergines in olive oil and herbs serve hot delicious The atmosphere makes me feel very warm and very chilled,I think about this place when I'am at home and my own cooking had gone to pot!Literally.And also what is different here you get a nice greeting and interaction from the owner Genuine Cafe 12 my little heaven Thank you:) Helen

It doesn't matter whether I fancy a quick coffee or full sunday lunch this is the cafe I head to when I'm in the east, cozy place with lovely staff and amazing 'home cooked' style food

We had a great meal and fun conversation with the owner and staff. An unexpected cheese plate, great tea and a healthy and delicious version of a full English breakfast. The chef came by to say hi and ask if everything was good (it was). Our waitress recommended the nearby flower market which ended up being a great find. It was a delightful, leisurely morning that left us well-prepared for a full day of shopping and street art hunting.

Super food, super atmosphere, super staff, super prices. Just keep going going back at every opportunity (considering the 100 km round trip).

This is one of those hidden gem places people tell you about that you never sniff out on your own... The freshest and best home cooked food with friendly and welcoming staff to boot.Worth a visit if your in london on holiday or even live around the corner...Places like this send you back in time to a place where everyone is warm and friendlyA MUST VISIT!

Un délice pour le petit-déjeuner! Très rassasiant!Décoration cosy et staff très sympathique!J'y retournerai la prochaine fois que je vais à Londres!

Amazing food - true quality, amazing staff - go out of their way to be friendly and it's topped off by an amazing ambience. A rare gem in shoreditch that you wouldn't want to miss!

I have been to Cafe 12 a few times for breakfast now and have always enjoyed the meal. What I love about their English breakfast is that they have put a healthy spin on it - with grilled vegetables etc. It really is yummy and the service is extremely friendly. On each occasion, we have been offered a complimentary shot of their house liqueur which is an experience to be had! The juices are freshly squeezed, and are truly delicious! The only downside is that the cafe is quite dark and a bit cramped.

Feeling at home, far away from home...is the best way to describe Cafe 12. Cosy and quiet, exact what you need after you spent a day in London....

If you want to feel great, to have a delicious meal, to experience a variety of dishes, don't ezitate to go in this place - Cafe 12 - the best restaurant I have ever been. Begining with the all kind of drinks, coffees and ending with every dish served, everything make you to return here over and over again. The staff is wonderful, very friendly, there to help you with any advice.

This place gets everything right. The style of the food is a sort of pan-European Grandmother cuisine, and I mean that in the very best way. Fish Pie, Vegetable Lasagna, Herb-spiced Burgers, Roasted Vegetables, Mustard Lemon Chicken... The pride that Sandy and her team of brilliant cooks take in the food is evident in every bite... The food looks amazing on the plate, too...as you can see in my photo. The decor is fantastic too: so cozy and real...the kind of place you want to stay in all day.If you're in the mood for real, authentic, unbelievably tasty food prepared by extremely nice people, come here ASAP. Couldn't love this place more.Also: prices are great. Two people can have a nice big lunch for under 15 pounds.

We had delicious poached pears in red wine sauce with greek yogurt and pomegranate, along with fresh mint tea. The Sunday roast looked good too. A small, cosy place, and excellent value for money!

I paid two visits to Cafe 12, the friendly service and great coffee are reason enough to go back again. The food is also wonderful and all freshly prepared on the premises. It is tasty well presented and served with a smile. This cafe gets everything right. If you are visiting Columbia Road Market call in to Cafe 12 you won't be disappointed.

Really good menù at lunch. Good take away grilled chicken salad!The food is healthy and just cooked in front of you.

Well, having already left a review for this Cafe I was disappointed to learn it couldn't be used as there were no other reviews for the Cafe. App a check had to be made to ensure it was a legit place?! I then forgot about it until we were in London again for the weekend. We were bought tickets as a treat gift for THE LONDON EYE, MADAM TUSSAUDS & THE LONDON DUNGEONS. Exciting!! We arrived early & did The Eye first. Being such a cold day & feeling hungry (as we'd missed breakfast) we both agreed after The Eye to make the most of our day returns & make our way over to Cafe 12 :) Mainly because we knew the quality of food was very good & price very pleasing to our budget. We arrived just after lunch, so the tables were being cleared & there was only a small family eating (makes a change to see happy kids eating healthy food). Ready for a seat, aching feet we were shown straight to our little table. Within a few seconds a gorgeous mug their beautiful coffee & a delicious orange crumble biscuit was placed in front of us with the menu.Aaah bliss, we both chose half a chicken with a platter of roast vegetables. I mentioned to the waitress I couldn't decide whether to have their lovely sald which I had last time or try the veg. I opted for the veg but when our food arrived, mine had half & half of veg & salad :) Ridiculous to say but it tickled me, I really appreciated her consideration & intention to please. Hubby had potatoes & chicken & veg, the platters were cleared not a drop remained. Mmmmmm hot, tasty & substantial (could say just like my man ha ha). We asked for a freshly squeezed orange juice & it was suggested to us to maybe try a mixture between pomegranate & orange - we did & it was absolutely gorgeous. We then had another coffee & deliberated over a dessert, we succumbed & indulged in a gorgeous piece of chocolate cake with black cherries on the top, served with a drizzle of cream & a sprinkling of pomegranate buds. Ooh the flavours were divine! Another indulgent coffee then unfortunately we had to head back to The London Dungeons. We were so cosy we could've quite happily curled up in the cafe to play scrabble :) We noticed there were some board games. Again the staff were sooo welcoming, so hospitable & friendly. They seem to know their customers, they cook to order & there were loads of peeps popping in to take out - heard a guy say he takes the food home as its the only decent home cooked meal he gets! I can't express how homely & delicious the food is. Its a rare find a diamond amongst the rough - an unexpected haven of cosy, friendly delights. Def will make our way there again, no matter where we are in london its worth the tube journey :) Seems like a family run business, the owner is almost like a host welcoming into their home. Brilliant. Truly recommend visiting this little modest surprisingly authentic tasty & reasonably priced Cafe. Fresh - home cooked style - great food & great value. Best find for me in 2012!!
