Welcoming, attentive and friendly service - with honest good food. It’s clean and comfy and a nice little cosy cafe. Food was excellent as was the coffee. What a great little cafe and shop of curiosities. Definitely recommend to any and all. Good job!!

We went for dinner on Valentine’s day and it was perfect. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was great. It felt very authentic and the pricing is more than fair. The menu has something for everyone and the portion sizes are spot on. We will definitely be visiting again some time soon

In all the years I have lived in the area I have never once sampled the food at this place until now, and I have to say that it's certainty nothing to write home about. Decided to opt for a takeaway, well I wish I hadn't bothered as the chicken dish was completely different to the one i had ordered on the menu and the rice dish was really dry, overall the food quality was very poor in that I wouldn't give it to a dog, I definitely will not be returning!!

I went to meet friends on Saturday 1st of March. The landlady, Sophie managed to run an extremely busy pub, single-handedly, whilst managing to keep smiling. Not sure how she achieved this without anyone waiting too long for a drink. This also included cooking pizzas and making people coffee. I was really impressed. It’s also a proper pub. There are not many like this left in Basingstoke. Use it or lose it, as they say!

What has happened between the glowing reviews in December and our visit on 26th February? We received neither the excellent service or food mentioned. The food was average, the service was brusque and surly. It was quite clear the staff wanted to close the restaurant and go home (we arrived at 8.20pm), which was emphasised when they started bringing bags of rubbish through the restaurant as we, and the other occupied table were still eating. The prices on the restaurant menu were different to the online prices, but we didn’t mention it since we hoped to have a good meal. Once seated we were given paper serviettes, which the owner apologised for and said they’d run out of cloth napkins (at 8.20pm on a Wednesday?), we said it wasn’t an issue. We ordered two plain and two spicy poppadoms, the owner returned and said they had no spicy poppadoms, so we ordered four plain. Since it was a rare occasion when we weren’t driving we ordered the litre of Italian red wine offered on the menu, apparently that wasn’t available either. The bottle of wine that we were served was not the one we ordered, and still we didn’t show our frustration as we continued to hope for a good meal. When the food came the chicken biryani was ok, the chicken balti however bore no resemblance to any balti we’ve ever had. It was bright red, contained red peppers and lacked fresh coriander. It was spicy and tasty but was not a balti. When we finished our meal half the biryani was left and a lot of sauce from the ‘balti’ so we asked for it all to be boxed up to take home. Since several takeaways had been collected during our meal we didn’t think it would be an issue, but although the waiter took the two parts of the biryani to box up, he made it clear it was a nuisance. He came to clear the rest of the table and I asked for the balti sauce to take as well, that really upset him, as he walked away we heard him say “oh my god”. When the food was brought back to us there was only one container, they had poured the balti sauce all over the biryani, spoiling both curries! It hadn’t occurred to me that I would have to point out that I’d like it boxed up separately, presumably they don’t put balti in the same box as biryani for takeaway customers. It almost felt like it had been done through spite - and yet, despite all the frustrations, we’d been more than pleasant throughout the meal.
