We had gone there for their Christmas meal which comprised Roast Turkey, stuffing, boiled veggies,, mash potato... it was really yummm.... Even their appetizers were fantastic.. their cheesy fries were really cheesy not like some of the stuff available outside.. we had chicken nuggets in barbecue sauce... surprisingly( pleasantly) it was not deep fried...
Their desserts too are really good... especially their fudge cake, blueberry cheesecake too is good as is their mousse cake...
THeir Christmas pudding was also yumm!

The only place gives you a warm homely feel. The restaurant though located in the heart of the city, is tucked away in the corner of a large plot, which helps insulate it from the rush of traffic outside.
The menu does not offer too much of a variety but what they serve is worth every bite. The food is good with sizable portions and their London fish n chips is a must try. Though primarily known for its continental cuisine the menu also offers select Indian dishes to satisfy the spicy masala craving Indian tounge. There is not much the restaurant offers for the vegetarian soul, except for salads, quiche and pasta and its advisable to stear clear of the same. For desserts the delicious cheese cakes and warm apple melt in the mouth apple pies make up for lack of variety.
The decor is minimalistic, with simple wodden benches and cane chairs. There is an open central courtyard for those who would like to hold hands and gaze at stars.
Staff is friendly and prompt. The owner takes special care to visit all the tables to ensure the customers are taken care of.
There is ample car parking available in the adjacent building so the crowded museum street with limited parking shouldn't dither you to viist the place. Be sure to call in advance if you plan to visit on weekends.
Important Note: Only hitch, we found a cockroach in the food they served and the oh so very courteous and concerned owner of the restaurant didn't even offer to make the dinner on house. This was the least expected as I am a regular customer and visit the restaurant atleast twice a month. Hence the rating 2 else a 4 is what the restaurant actually deserves.

We found this place by accident. I happened to be visiting the shop next to this restaurant as I had heard one can get good "foreign" magazines (albeit older issues) there. It happened to be lunch time
and since I was hungry (hey! when am I not!?) we decided to venture it...
I liked the place even before I tried the food. It’s not fancy at all and if you don’t know about it, you could miss it.... but the open courtyard and the red and white chequered table cloths give this otherwise non-descript eatery a unique charector.
The food is European or what we call "Continental". From Fish ’n’ Chips to burgers and from pastas to steaks - they have it all. My particular favourite has been the Sloppy Joe and the lasagne.
I don’t remember what I ordered the first time I went there but over the past year I have been there several times and keep going back for more. I am not a big red meat eater but their Sloppy Joes are really nice. I haven’t tried the steaks but from the look on my husband and father’s face - I can assume they are good!
The portions are very generous except for the starters which I feel are a bit small....
The vegetarians don’t have too much of a choice other than pasta and veg sandwiches...
Since it is a open-air concept, one can smoke and it is also condusive for small children as they can run about. They are not supposed to serve alcohol I think but they do and bill beer as an "energy drink" hahahah
I don’t think one needs to make reservations (we never have) but it can get quite crowded at lunch at times so if you’re pressed for time, make the reservation.
The place is run by Shoeb and his cousin and they seem to be doing a good job. I once asked Shoeb how the restaurant got it’s name.... apparently in the olden days this was the only place one could get beef!
The deserts are nothing to write home about but after the scrumptious meal - who has room for dessert?huh?
I recommend this place highly. For good food, decent service and above all - value for money.

good continental grub
food- good
ambience and service - good
cost- moderate
the burger was good but was a touch bland when catering to indian taste. the taste is continental and available are steaks shepherds pie, caramel and other such quaint dishes.
on the whole a recommended place

I have visited this place thrice because I enjoy the food and the ambience. However, this place had us irritated the last time around. You can see an army of chefs working away in the kitchen and I must say they are doing a good job! The waiters however are just plain dazed!!! I had to call them like a zillion times before they would come over, even for a simple refill of water. We were kept waiting for 20 minutes before we could get our hands on the cheque! We finally got the cheque only after having to raise our voice to grab their attention. Too bad, we did not have the heart to tip them that visit...
