"At first we were impressed by the low prices compared to other places on King 's Road. The ambience is nice and the cakes look tasty! We ordered a cheese onion toastie and a hummus, Halloumi and carrot wrap to take away. We were told the wait would be 10 minutes as there were a couple of orders before ours. 30 minutes later and our food had still not materialised! I understand that it was busy, but the two members of staff behind the counter didn 't seem to have a rush bone in their bodies. The girl making the sandwiches even stopped to have a chat with some customers while everybody was waiting for their food. My biggest gripe however, was when I took a bite into my wrap and realised that they 'd put grilled vegetables instead of carrot (I 'd overheard earlier that they 'ran out of carrot ' but they didn 't consult me about it). I am allergic to aubergine, which is in the grilled vegetables. Granted I didn 't disclose that when I gave the order, but only because I 'd intentionally chosen a wrap that didn 't contain grilled vegetables. I don 't know whether it was an honest mistake, or whether they substituted the carrots without consulting me. If I hadn 't been in my car driving away I would have gone back and found out. In the end the whole thing went in the bin. All in all I think this business needs to take a look at its food practices. I also saw staff touching their hair and then food without washing their hands. I work in catering and this is a big no no."

"This is the 2nd time I have visited The Duke and the experience this time was not as good. Unfortunately, the waiting staff seemed very disorganised and were not very attentive when taking the order. The cutlery, serviettes were not brought out all at once but they kept coming backwards and forwards. One of the party had the gnocchi and when the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, ie, sauces, etc, they requested some parmesan cheese. The waiter returned to say that we could have parmesan but there would be an extra charge of £1 ! I have never in all the times I have visited restaurants have been asked to pay extra for parmesan cheese. We then asked to speak to the manager, who came over and said she would have to speak to the chef as she was a temporary manager. I am not sure what that had to do with making a decision on whether or not we had to pay for the parmesan. I pointed out that a member of the party was having the fish chips but had requested at the time of ordering that they did not want the mushy peas or tartare sauce. We would certainly not have expected to receive a reduction in the price ! The temporary manager then said she did not want to argue about it so would bring a portion of parmesan for no extra cost. I was a bit annoyed as there should have not been any argument at all as surely a small grating of parmesan should be free anyway, or the price incorporated in the cost of the meal !"

"I have been eating at the amazing Smiths for years. Today, having not been to Smiths for a year due to lock down, I couldn't wait to bring my family in as a celebration treat. Upon arriving we were asked to scan the COVID track and trace at the door and then were welcomed in and offered a table within a designated marked out on the floor space. The Smiths waitresses always make you feel so welcome and serve with smiles and warmth they helped us with the buggy and highchair etc. We ordered our range of dietary requirements foods another reason I love Smiths as they seem to be able to cater for everyones needs. Our fresh orange juice was sooo fresh and sweet I would love to know what oranges they use! ...the paper rainbow drinking straw made me smile. From previous experience I know Smiths always make good coffee and today my father was not disappoint. ...another great cup! Our Brunch ticked all of our brunch craving boxes. Good sized portions, eggs just right, everything cooked as we liked and the slow roasted tomatoes, which are always so delicious continue to be, well so delicious! I was so relieved to see this eatery back up running, with the owner and great chef back in situ. This owner wins extra gold stars, as years ago actually I worked at Smiths, and he was both great fun to work with and super supportive. It was really great to see you all and thank you again for some more delicious food."

"I was here with a friend on Friday night for dinner. fatima and their employees gave excellent customer service, very attentive and friendly, spend time chatting with us and falling over themselves to ensure that we were comfortable and that we would be happy. with the food. my friend and I could not decide completely about appetizers so fatima made us a beautiful plate of a selection of appetizers, the miniature versions of one of the main courses (filo baked with cheese so delicious there were wee leaves filled with rice, sweetsamosas, bon mix and salat underneath. image included! the plate was beautifully presented and we didn't have to wait long until it arrives. I ordered an sage and mincetee that was served in a Moroccan style silver teekanne with a handle. the aesthetic in general, at fatima is rich and authentic, and the basement section feels especially as if in morrocco itself. long couches, many kisses, pictures of morrocco on the wall. it is a visual treatment and very comfortable. dogs are also allowed in the restaurant, which is beautiful. the place has a warm feeling, because of the welcome and receiving nature of fatima and their personal. for my main course I have the carrot and chickpea tagine (also pictured) that was delicious. it was suitable thick enough in consistency, and the aromen worked so well together. it was served in a ton bowl as you can see, add to total experience. we had puddings, but they were eaten before I had the chance to look at the photography! rose flavored cookies created a light, airy and fragrant experience that I had not experienced before and the baklava was a dream! after that I had a coffee that was presented as well as the rest of the meal. I cannot blame fatimas and their beautiful selection of authentic Moroccan foods. I was amazed at how fast she was in the position to cook the food we had and I am very pleased to visit again to try other parts of the menu! highly recommended if she dine after an authentic experience and really delicious and creatiw presented and are Pattiserie items!"
