The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

Hmmm, not sure why people are reviewing the car park or the hospital waiting times. It's not like you would choose to stay at a hospital (!) I am reviewing the small cafe in the hospital foyer which is open during the day. They sell sandwiches, snacks and cold drinks. They also advertise that they sell Costa Coffee. I had been to the hospital and wanted to get some lunch as I had not had anything to eat so got a sandwich and a drink. Although it was busy staff were working hard to clear the queues which they managed. The seating area was clean and well presented even though it was busy.

This place used to be great- amazing food and price - now it is the worst food, and packaging. Paper and plastic flying everywhere. How could anyone let this happen. Now athletes are having to eat junk food and high price cans of fizz rather than the many wholesome salads they previously served. It’s an embarrassment! Many take their own food now. Not surprising.

Boycotting store, no heating in cafe or store it has been like this for sometime, How can you expect paying customers and staff to function in such terrible conditions.

Coffee was ok, staff friendly but sadly the toilet was disgusting. One toilet out of order, the other which was for male and female should also have been out of order based on cleanliness. It smelled strongly of stale urine, the top of the cistern was thick with sticky dust, there was debris and water on the floor. I mentioned to staff on the way out who immediately went to inspect. Do they have a cleaner or do they rely on shop staff?

Awful experience. Short staffed, and struggling to cope. No coffee. Sending people to self service tills but no note about not having coffee. So many people disgruntled and moaning. Food took about 40mins to come out. I had the poached egg on avacado and toast. First thing it looked not very appetising. The poached egg was hard boiled. The avacado so cold it had frozen lumps in it and as a result the toast was cold. The staff were constantly apologising and explaining about the coffee machine. As it got busier it got worst. I would of demanded my money back but felt sorry for the staff. I don't blame staff I blame management. The amount of stress this was putting on staff is not fair and not a nice working environment. We won't return obviously

Went there twice, thought I would give another chance. First time was a ham and cheese sandwich, bread was stale and dried up. Second time went with my daughter to have a mocha from machine, there was no chocolate in the mocha, coffee was bitter. Again filthy tables. Tables were untidy. However the staff were polite, maybe another manager???

Booked for lunch, several staff passed us before we finally got seated. Table for two rocked like a see-saw. Need 20-20 vision to read the small font unclear menu, Service was below average, asked for a side dish of spring onion which did not arrive with main course. Food was okay but thought there was a lack of good healthy choices. Location is very nice but overall was a disappointing experience

Decided to visit Sainsburys cafe for lunch as we were having some time in Ely. We were 3rd in the queue and gave our order after just a few minutes wait. The young man took our order for 2 meals and a child's meal very efficiently. He made 2 coffees and we sat down. Our food was delivered within 10 minutes. I enjoyed the All Day Breakfast, it was very good and the others cleared their plates! I consider that we had good value for money and would happily return.

Absolutely alfull breakfast Stone cold and under cooked bacon. Sent it back and they warmed it in the microwave and brought it back even the toast which was then soggy NEVER AGAIN

Dirty table, dirty floor. I asked staff member to please clean our table. She said she would but didn’t come back. Probably shortage of underpaid staff.

Like Cafe Nero nearby - this place is an absolute dump!! Rude male served me with scummy individual standing behind me with no mask on, breathing on me. When I told that individual to stand back, he said:- “What is wrong with you.” My friend said in 2018 when she went in there with me - “This place is such a dump!” She was right.

Music playing too loud inside. Went outside to find speakers outside too! Not necessary. Music is NOT needed everywhere. Service was OK but not the most friendly. Supervisor seemed more interested in picking up issues with her team rather than seeing to her customers. Starbucks ask customers for a name and then speltvit incorrectly and didn't use it when the order was delivered. I can't see it was a bad experience, it just wasn't welcoming.

The tea was a bit weak. It wasn't busy about 4pm but the bin was full and the semi-milk jug was almost empty (enough for 2 or 3 more cup of tea). There was some rubbish on one table outside area. The rubbish was left there for the duration of my time there 30mins+

AVOID THE TACO BELL! Pathetic portion size and I’m sure I didn’t get the paid extras I added to my burrito. It cost as much as a main course in a restaurant to! Really rubbish.

We stopped here for coffee and a bite as part of our bike ride. It took over an hour to have a coffee and bacon butty. Great location but the service is dreadfully slow.
