What recent reviews say

Jias Cafe draws regulars for flavourful cakes, croffles, and hearty mains at fair prices. The cosy, clean space suits quiet afternoons or small groups. Service reliability is the weak link: some diners got fast attention even on busy nights, while others waited excessively or encountered cold responses to complaints. Food quality also swings-dishes like creamy pasta and tiramisu earn praise, but occasional lapses (oily fish and chips, spoiled chicken, hard cake) suggest inconsistency in the kitchen.

Begum's serves North and South Indian cuisine in a royal-looking space with reliably delicious, well-spiced dishes and fresh naan that reviewers often return for. Staff move fast and treat guests warmly, though parking in this Canning II office complex costs money and fills up quickly.
