"when we arrived, there was a 15 min waiting for a table for 4 people. that in my head was a good thing, and what can I say, but I was right. I go out for dinner and give a 5-star rating without being a bit generous, but in this case I don't have to be generous. this is really a 5-star evaluation site. the price is reasonable and this is reflected in the size of the drank. large but not too large and very fillable. the selection was good overall for lunch and tea and coffee selection was then expected to be bigger. simply note that no alcohol is served here, but is not needed, as the environment is excellent and the ethos of the caffe supports. eating was great and the selection of meat and vegan food was good. the face of the children on the sight of the child afternoon was one of the excitement, especially when you see the size of the cake. the burgerpatties were thin, but wide, homemade, like all food, cooked in a juicy juicy condition. the nuggets were diceed chicken pieces so quality from the beginning, batter was slightly spiced and cooked for perfection. not greasy or soggy or too much for the meat. best nuggets I've ever had. if they like cake and coffee, this is also the place for them with the sizes of the cake portions they will take a few home, and it is worth it. as they can say, we really enjoyed eating and put in a place that is modern with a classic touch that I felt relaxed and that eating fits the venue."

"Great decaf tea. Great general staff team. Awful owner. This is a really mixed review. I spent a lovely couple of hours on the top floor of Aroma drinking several pots of decaf tea and a cinnamon swirl served by polite and cheery staff and enjoying the warmth of the sunshine through the window. I was on my own for most of the time, and then I was joined by 2 small groups. When I arrived, I 'd turned of the music coming from the speaker, as I 'd found the music selection irritating and preferred to listen to the busker outside. After an hour and a half, suddenly a person swoops in who I 'd not seen before, walks straight in, reaches over a customers head, turns on the speaker and goes into the store cupboard, so clearly a member of staff. A minute or so later, dashes out again and goes downstairs, not saying a word! So I turned to the other customers and explained that I had turned the speaker off and would it be ok to turn it off again and all agreed. With one saying, yes, it is quite annoying. Peace resumes. 15 minutes later, the 2 groups leave, and the same member of staff swoops in and again turns the speaker on and starts tidying up. I explain that I 'd like the music off. He replied that they were now very busy and this floor would be filing up. I said ok. But I was the only one here now, and when I 'd asked the other customers previously, they were happy to have it off. He muttered something and left. So I turned the speaker off again! By now I was thinking about my lunch. I had planned to stay and buy lunch there, but the person made me feel so unwelcome I decided to leave. On my way out, I wanted to speak to the person, but they weren 't there, so I spoke to the staff team behind the counter about the person I described, and they said he 's the owner. I explained what had happened and why I was leaving they looked uncomfortable but didn 't say anything. At that moment, the owner bustled through the front door, and I asked to speak to him. He walked away, starting to go up the stairs. So I called after him saying that he 'd made me uncomfortable upstairs, that I would have stayed and bought more, but I was leaving because of him. He kept walking up the stairs and said, Bye then. I appreciate music is personal choice and can add to the atmosphere of a place, but if a customer asks to turn it off, I don 't really see what the issue was, especially when I was on my own! A sad end to my visit to a great little place in the spring sunshine that served great decaf tea. ......"

"Tonight’s offering is a “ dirty Dinos “.. the more traditional British fare. I ordered the large donner, chilli sauce, salad and garlic. This is, I find, the yardstick of every kebab retailer. The package arrived by a friendly delivery driver. The very smell took me back to Essex in my early 20s, to a certain nightclub where I met a young lady. After a trip to the local kebab shop she still managed, while holding a kebab in either hand to...... ahem. Apologies, I digress. A gentleman should never share secrets where a young lady has let her horses run free...back to the kebab. Unbelievably added to the order was a bonus cheesy garlic bread. We all love a freebie. On opening the tray a deep breath was inhaled. By the sight , you knew that this was a well put together masterpiece.. overflowing with meaty slices of heaven , the pitta is bursting at the seams. A correct portion of sauce was added, not too much, not too little. The salad is served on the side with a plethora of diced onions. I know I am in for a treat. I brace myself and my dripping maw meets the delicacy. This kebab bursts into my mouth , and my senses swim as if kissed by a tender mermaid. The meat is grilled to a turn, the chilli is spicy enough to create a “dab on” complimented by the garlic Mayo. And HELLO, what is this? A pickle served under the pitta to give correct sogginess. This is a stroke of genius. A gift from the gods. If I was a man who marked , this would receive a 4.5 skewers out of 5 rating.No one gets a 5 or who would strive for perfection? This is now my “go to” traditional British kebab shop."
