Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

The food is good, but its going to take 35-50 minutes for a single person to to receive any food. Been here for lunch over the years and the timeliness and preparedness is 0/10. They do not have staff to seat you and haven't for over three years. They will make this your problem by having you seat yourself while you hope a waiter notices you. After 10 minutes, someone will finally notice your dirty table and come by to clean it and give you a menu. 10 more minutes and they'll take your order. After 30-40 minutes you'll receive your appetizer, and shortly after your food. I'm impressed by any business open for lunch hours that cannot exit guests in under an hour. Go somewhere else, this place will not respect you, your time, or your money. Never going back with such poor service and poor response time. Poorly lit, smells gross, even the No smoking sign on the bathroom smells like smoke.

We waited 45 minutes just to get our food, the burger was dry and cold and the fries warm. The masala was bland and it took 20 minutes to dven get a check to pay. We had to flag down a server fo pay.

The menu was quite descriptive about the biscuits and gravy. Biscuits were said to be a fluffy flaky popular item. My two large biscuits were balls of dough! There was absolutely no flakiness to be found. The gravy seemed to be made with cornstarch due to its translucency. The seasoning was not to my liking but that could be personal.
