Fantastic coffee and friendly service. Also they don’t charge extra for alternative milk!

First time ive been to a deli and it definitely didnt disappoint. I had a tuna panini it was the best ive had in a long time. I had a cup of tea. The tea was perfect. If you dont want to eat in there are parks in this area. Overall it was a delight to eat here.

The website is still showing “temporarily closed” yet no reply to emails regarding voucher that was purchased last year. Value of voucher £150, will the restaurant re-open and this be honoured?

Good cocktails, use advanced cocktail techniques and achieve good results. It seems to be closed, just knock on the door and wait

And what an experience. They host an unrivaled collection of Scotch whiskies and offer a knowledgeable staff that can suggest reasonably-priced options you likely never knew existed. The place is made even better by its customers—often devoted whisky pilgrims who treat their visit as the fulfillment of a religious experience.

Everything was excellent! Everyone at Fazenda was very friendly and helpful. I have to say, as Argentinean, the meat was amazing! Just one thing, We were expecting to eat Argentinian chorizo and empanadas but neither of them were on the menu. The empanadas I could say it doesn't matter but the chorizo is almost important like meat! It has to be on the menu.

I've been here a few times now and overall it's a good place to eat, with some downsides Food - on the whole, most of their dishes are good. Everything is Halal, which is great. The dishes feel like they aren't fully authentic, the spices feel toned down for instance (even if you request spicy). I wouldn't recommend the red curry as its nothing like what you'd expect. It's more a creamy, coconut milk based curry which lacks the traits of a red curry. I even had to ask the waiter to make sure they gave me the right curry. Portion sizes vary but generally are pretty reasonable Service - the staff are definitely friendly but the service can sometimes be slow. The service has felt a little disorganised each time we've gone, with the service being sporadic and inconsistent. On one visit, they forgot entirely about a dish that we ordered and cooked everything else Price - it is a little on the expensive side, even considering its central location. They don't accept cash which is quite bizarre

The staff here are clearly pushing the boundaries of cocktail theory, and it shows in the menu which not only presents a fantastic list of cocktails for you to enjoy, but also goes into detail about the methods used to create the drinks you will be enjoying. The whole experience was phenomenal. As a cocktail design enthusiast myself I enjoyed reading up on the methods and thinking of ways to apply those methods to my own work in the future, but even the cocktail amateur can enjoy the delicious drinks panda & son's has to offer. 11/10, highly recommend, especially as a location for a first date.

My husband and I visited for an early dinner on a Thursday evening (around 4.30pm) - which was lucky for us as we were able to take advantage of their set menu. We eat a lot of Indian food at home (both home cooked and in restaurants), but we have never tried pakora. We were craving curry, so the set menu that comes with 3 pakora and a choice of curry was perfect. I ordered the vegetarian pakora mix (3 pakoras - one mushroom, one paneer and one vegetarian haggis) and palak paneer with rice. My husband also ordered the set menu with chicken pakoras (3) and butter chicken with rice. The staff were wonderful (thank you so much for the hospitality Rick!). All needs were anticipated (side plates, napkins, etc) and we had a pleasant chat throughout the meal. I don’t have experience with pakora, but we enjoyed them. They were fresh and crispy, served with delicious sauces and an onion chutney. The curries were also good, but could have used more seasoning. They were a bit bland for our tastes and definitely could have used more spice, but we also weren’t asked what spice level we preferred. I would definitely come back here, but I would ask the staff next time to up the spice level a bit.

Nice wee place, extensive beer selection. Had a Bowhouse Burger which didn't look much but was immensely tasty relying on the quality of the beef rather than unnecessary accoutrements.
