After reading the negative reviews I think it’s mandate to write reality. The place has authentic Indian street snacks and their chutneys are also very authentically made(some who is into cooking can tell it). It’s clearly written outside on their board Indian street snacks so do not expect 5 star hotel’s cafeteria ambience. At the price they offer, it’s the best they can. Amazing tasty food, hygienic place and decent atmosphere. Thank you team bhelpuri for amazing punjabi samosas in Reading
Visited in a recommendation as I had half an hour to kill. So glad I did! Simply the best coffee I have ever had in any coffee shop ( I’ve tried many). Really friendly service and quality coffee. They also have a good choice of beans (they will grind if needed) to buy and take away . Cakes aren’t bad either 😃. If you are serious about your coffee or just like good coffee in a relaxed setting, this is the place to go!

'The Meat was Cold '
First time visit, and the reception was poor from the moment i walked in because i thought i was coming to a Chinese noodle place. The atmosphere was not appealing and dull, but i thought i give it a shot anyway. The food was quick, and he called my receipt number, thinking he would bring it to me. This was not explained from the poor reception i received from the start. Grab your own spoon and chopsticks that's all laid out on a dish washer cloth.
When i got my food the presentation, it looked good, which was handmade noodles and beef brisket.
And to big disappointment, the beef was big and chunky, but COLD once i bit into it and then the next piece. Food poison comes straight to mind. That explains why the food came quickly because that was no way cooked, but the broth was hot.
As for the noodle, that's not handmade. That comes from a packet. Please don't try to fool people by saying handmade.
Never again! coming from a person who loves her authentic food.
Very insulting......£ 10.80 for cold meat. Poor
The place only deserves one star for presentation on food.
But seriously, my first and last.

Ordered the set menu for 1. Food was absolutely delicious. Amazing quality of ingredients, beautiful flavours and the value for money was great! Will most definitely be back!!

Before I have spent my time here with my partner and I totally enjoyed it and the hot chocolates there was the perfect temperature and tastes utterly delicious. However, it was a bummer that people spend too long in the igloos and it's a shame that they would stay there for hours. When we asked the staff about when we can sit in the igloos the man was quite rude to be honest. Just visited again in 2021 and the electricity is down so no heating available or lights for the outside seating area.

Sat for ages in the drive through. Ordered a plain cheeseburger meal and a happy meal with a fruit shoot. Cheeseburger wasn’t plain so son wouldn’t eat it and cried! Happy meal came without the drink. Terrible!
For a standard chain place, the quality of Kokoro is insane for the price. I tend to order the sweet and chilli chicken with rice. The rice is sticky and perfectly made, the chicken is slightly crispy and the sauce is really sweet and spicy. You get your food within one minute. The only criticism I have is the size of the joint. Three of four small tables to fit one or two people inside.
Good range and nice atmosphere. However the food quality isn't particularly great for the cost. The offering went down hill after covid.
Also the coming and going of the delivery drivers mean that it gets very cold if your seated in the back.
