A homely place with good prices and really nice staff. Ended up staying half an hour after closing time on accident but the staff were very happy to have us, will go there often.

I don't know the area, in fact I've never been to Hendon in my life. I was in the area as I had to meet someone on business at the Middlesex University. I was about 30mins early so thought if grab a quick bite. I was walking up the steep road past you're usual fast food and chicken joints (nothing wrong with that, I am partial to the odd burger), then suddenly I stumbled on this place. It's quite cool, reminds me of a quirky dining room. Decor was interesting, the place has an intimate feel and staff were nice. The menu is pretty standard, but that's no bad thing. Simple things done well, beats these extravagant menus that offer drivel. Theres a fair few healthy options as well... I'm not sure when im next going to Hendon..but I'll check it out if ever I'm in the data

What an unexpected joyous place. Quirky and original. Opens slightly later than standard transport café, but homely and a unique style to the interior.
