A few things I like here - their green piripiri, service is decent. For lunch, arrive about 1300 hrs to avoid rush, plus you get totally fresh stuff. Their soups are okay if you want a light meal. Their food is usually having high oil content. I like the way they serve whisky, it's always extraaa

Very nice and kind staff. The butter toast is to die for!! Went there recently after my last visit 3 years ago and I was delighted to see that the quality of service Pre-Covid19 and "Post"-Covid19 remains the same!

Really good food. Very cheap place to grab breakfast or even lunch. Inexpensive is what attracts crowds here. The only issue is parking, unfortunately there isnt much that can be done in regards to that.
