Food isn't expensive, portion is generous and taste is alright. Staff are friendly, but as some previous comments said, some might find them offensive. Like one of the staff asked me whether or not my classmate is my girlfriend. If not, may his co-worker chase after my classmate? I'm ok with this, and it's not totally unacceptable, but some sensitive people might find it a harassment.

Not a bad sized breakfast, the bacon and sausages were of good quality which was nice to see as you normally get poor quality meat in a greasy spoons. 1 1/2 slices of toast was a little random and they use different bread for the fry up when compared to buying a sandwich. 7/10 would try again when in the area.

  • Matty B

A really solid fry up / full english breakfast, though I was longing for some black+white puddings. It was only £9.9 and came with a cup of tea (or coffee if you choose). I am extremely grateful that they were open at 7am on Christmas morning though.

Great place, food great, service fantastic and friendly, only downside was a little small seating area, although they have done well with the space. If you are staying nearby, I would recommend the breakfast to get your day underway. Prices are good as well.

  • Feng Yu Lin

One who's here for the first time may wonder which dish to have. I was here the first time and followed the recommendation of the gentleman who works there, and I had lasagna with salad, and a coffee as well. Food was pre-cooked and microwaved, but it tasted good. Coffee was in good temperature as well. Above all, they make you feel welcomed here. I'd come back for more food if I'll be in this area again.

  • X X

I had the English breakfast and a coffee which was delicious and filling, and also very reasonably priced at only £8.50. The service was quick, the premises were clean and the staff were nice. If you are a tourist looking to find ‘the real London’ or experience a traditional English cafe then look no further

Not many cafes open until 11 o clock at night! This place does everything: kebabs, burgers, fish and chips, dinners, breakfasts... And they do it well. Reasonably priced for Kings X, great service and very clean. Absolutely recommend for a diverse, authentic London experience.

I was looking for fish and chips but the kids don't eat fish. This place is a gem. I ordered the fish and chips, the kids ordered lasagna and my wife had the chicken tika with rice. We were all very pleased. The servers are very pleasant and helpful and the food was served quickly.

Friendly staff, good atmosphere. Prices are a bit heigh, but it's right in the 1. zone, so I guess that's understandable.. in terms of the food, it's not the best takeaway I've had (especially chips!!!), but neither the worst.. good when you're hungry and you want to get a burger or doner just to fill you up!

  • Fiona Wild

What can I say but this place is fantastic! We were staying in the area and running late one day so nipped in for a quick bite. The chicken & lamb kebabs are amazing The 2 chaps running this place are lovely, very kind and friendly..... nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended that's for sure.

This is the best local cafe; it's not glamorous or modern, just very traditionally British & cheap for the area. I only ever eat a vegetarian breakfast & a coffee or tea, but whatever I order is perfectly prepared with speed, and the service is always friendly & efficient. What more can one want?

Went by for a coffee, the man who served me mocked me for asking for oat milk. Told me the oat milk is in the supermarket, and laughingly told me that oat milk is not a thing in Valencia. So I left. The other staff were more friendly towards me.

The foods are really tasty. We will get for the reasonable bugs. Attitude of the staffs are really good. It's the best space to have food by comparing it's surroundings. I had lunch here. Many dishes with kitchen and all available here.

Possibly the best, most affordable Traditional English breakfast we've had on this trip. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was tasty and fairly priced. Would go again tomorrow morning if we weren't flying home tonight.
