This is my favourite place to order brunch. Their lasagna is fantastic and I'm also a fan of their loaded chilli fries. Was surprised to hear they had moved over to a different location as I had been ordering via Uber Eats and not realised. Staff are always extremely friendly and happy to cater to your preferences. May Allah continue to bless this business.

Ive just discovered this place..where have i been! The cheese flan with beans and karak chai was just spot on and nostalgia from high school days. Having a glance at the menu when i was ordering, the prices are very reasonable. The ladies from taking the order through to serving were friendly and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended to anyone looking for delicious food and drinks at a reasonable price.

Dropped by for a quick cup of desi tea and a samosa. It tasted great. They do a range of foods from sandwiches to cooked meals and desserts. Staff were nice. I would recommend.

If you are looking for homemade, fresh, wholesome, mouthwatering food then this is the place to go. I can’t put a number on how long I’ve been eating at Cafe 1 but all I can say it’s ALWAYS been perfection. The staff are wonderful (especially Robina) and not once have I had a bad experience. My favourite is definitely the full English Breakfast, Cheese Flan with chips & beans. I didn’t get the opportunity to sample the Roast dinner (served on Fridays only) but am looking forward to it in the near future. Heads up on getting there early or it’s gone! Dare I say the desserts they serve will take you down memory lane. Back to school 80’s style. Absolutely delicious. Portion sizes are massive so you won’t go hungry.

High quality fully HMC halal food. Good customer service. Food could have a bit more flavour to it, but I understand they have to be conscious of everyone’s tastebuds, and not everyone enjoys spicy food like I do! Wide menu variety, but I mostly get either the shepherd’s pie meal or lasagne meal. All in all, good place to go to!
