A very lovely setting and friendly service. The food is excellent and perfectly sized variety in the menu. The shades are a bit small for the tables with 4 seater. The garden is well kept and the children playground also neat. However, it's very pricy. The hot beverages are way over priced as compared to similar outlets in the city (Cafe Nush, Waseefa's and Claasic Desserts) and some moderation could help in attracting more cosmopolitan customers.
