Place for a tasty and prompt meal - don't order too much at a time because portions are large. Seating is at shared bench tables. Busy place and can get very noisy at peak times; not the place for a relaxing meal but easy on your pocket. Payment is by cash only.

Housed in an art deco building it has a quirky character with a range of seating from armchairs to formal despite it being a world food chain restaurant. It serves food all day long from breakfast to dinner. I particularly like the sharing plates which are fresh, delicious and well portioned and come in a meat or vegetarian option. The staff seem well trained and friendly. It is earning a good reputation so booking is advised unless you enjoy queuing! Tel: 0208 858 8047 Open 7 days week 8 am. to 11 pm.
