Finally food that is made with love! The chicken was fresh and juicy, the chips fresh and crisp and even the gravy was unreal to the point that you could drink it! Definitely a diamond in the rough!

Ok first of all I ordered a peri peri wrap. The presentation was way above what I expected for a cafe. The wrap was pressed with wave design on it and cut evenly. I ordered hours before I needed and I was surprised to given fresh hot chips! That was great. Everything from presentation to staff/Owner was awesome.

I frequent this cafe and I have to say I’ve never been disappointed. Staff are very friendly and the service is quick. Can always count on them for a filling lunch!

This cafe has amazing food and service and is well above the other cafes in the area for food (including the ones near Westona Station). It’s easily accessible for workers in an industrial area, well portioned and affordable for what you get with most full sized meals for $10-$12. I have eaten a variety of healthier and less health conscious meals there and haven’t been disappointed in the taste or size of any of them. I highly recommend giving them a visit for a meal if you’re nearby!

Had lunch at this place today. Such a happy friendly staff. Food was really good, and the service was refreshingly VERY hospitable. Look forward to going there again with more friends. For the excellent food and great portions, it was sooooo reasonably priced. Ambience very calming and squeaky clean. Loved it. I'd recommend it to anyone. The staff were charming. Christina

With the new supplier of Chickens avaible, this was definitely a superb dining experience. I had the Chicken wrap while not a fan of cold chicken this was actually a pleasant surprise. I had also purhcased their popcorn chicken too, to share with friends and we could not stop ourselves from eating every single last crumb in the packet. If I ever find myself around the area again i would definitely find myself eating here again. Could not reccomend this restaurant to anyone any more than this. 5/5
