Cafe Diana

Parking: Plenty of free parking spaces after 6.30pm Kid-friendliness: My 14, 12 and 7 years old kids love it and always request going there.

Four of us went to Cafe Diana on Saturday 6th April. We had seen videos on instagram about it and as one of our party is a fan of Diana we thought it’d be a fun place to go for breakfast. The waiter thought it smart/ impressive to memorise the order instead of writing it down. When he repeated it back to us it was incorrect but we corrected him and hoped for the best. Food took over thirty minutes to arrive even though barely half the tables were full. The food is basic so it made no sense that it would take so long. When it did finally arrive it was incorrect. One person was missing a lentil soup, another person was missing a sausage, and another had the incorrect fillings in their toasted sandwich. The base of the baked potatoes also tasted like cleaning chemicals, as if the fridge they’d been sitting in hadn’t been washed down properly. At this stage we had been waiting so long and were so hungry and unimpressed that we just ate what was provided and left. (We made sure we weren’t charged for these missing items). The bathroom was disgusting, so I dread to think what the kitchen area might look like. There was also no music/ radio playing which meant it was severely lacking in atmosphere. Avoid at all costs. Really put a dampener on the start of our Saturday in London.

UPDATE. April 2024 - Hospitality of Asian waitress very spurious, I need to speak to the owner about her putting a toxic substance in my coffee….. to poison me/ to kill me?? This is a very good place to visit if you want freshly prepared Mediterranean food. They press fresh juices which are acceptable. Their English breakfast is tasty and substantial. Their chicken tikka wraps are to die for….. Go check them out.
