A fantastic place to chill and vibe. Much, much better than the high street favourite (who shall not be named). The only place with fantastic Malai tea in all of southall. Our lovely server, Seema, made sure we were welcomed and took care of us during our meal. My favourite was the Lamb Samosas with homemade chutney - out of this world. Fantastic atmosphere and a great and fresh deco! Highly recommend!
Extraordinary new concept. Different take on a classic English afternoon tea with a desi twist. Upon arrival our blossom afternoon tea layout was already set up. You need to book beforehand online to reserve as they do not offer this service if you are ‘walk-in’ customer. Pleased be advised there is a £40 fee if you do not cancel within a given timeframe, hence why you need to book online as they have your card on hold. We were greeted and seated. It took around 20-25mins for the food to come. As you can see from the pictures it’s splendid to look at. You get a selection of cakes. Savouries and refillable chosen tea. I would highly recommend even if you are not into the afternoon tea to go for the chicken cheese toastie and their milk cakes. With regards to price point: it’s £30 per person however if there’s two of you it’s £55. In my opinion, I do think it’s priced slightly too high, given the location and establishment. The establishment, although quite aesthetically pleasing it can also be considered quite casual- e.g. people ordering small plates or just desserts and therefore the price for the afternoon tea can be deemed quite expensive. This can also make customers that ordered afternoon tea quite uncomfortable as it is exposed to other customers. Having said that, I will advise the lovely owners to maybe considering either reducing the price point of the afternoon tea or creating a part of the restaurant that’s exclusive(separated) to afternoon tea customers. This will most definitely make your customers feel more at ease. There were some issues I noticed with the restaurant. The first issue was I overheard an issue with a customer requesting tap water and although the waiter stated that are not legally required to serve tap water (free) because they do not serve alcohol. However, although they are correct I do believe it would forthcoming for the restaurant to provide this service as customers would be grateful and more likely to return. In this case, the two customers were not happy and left quite abruptly and it made us very uncomfortable and overshadowed our afternoon tea experience. The second issue: toilet door is locked and the workers know the code but every time you need the toilet they have to open the toilet door for you. This can be quite frustrating if customers need to wash hands and having to constantly ask. In addition, always opening the door and then going back to serve on tills is very unhygienic and can make customers worry and cautious. What I would advise the owners is writing the code on customer receipts (already printed on the back of the receipts) so it deters non-customers using the toilet. Lastly I would recommend this place whether for casual or special occasions. The waiters were really nice and welcoming I don’t normally write lengthy reviews however the owners were welcoming and only offering this advice as you both seem like your business deserves to thrive.
We visited as a group of friends for an afternoon snack and decided to order cholay batooray and halwa poori. The food took about 20 minutes to arrive, as it’s made fresh, but it was definitely worth the wait. The meal was both delicious and reasonably priced. Our server was also fantastic—she helped us choose what to order and took great care of us throughout. We’ll definitely be back, this time with family.
