A globally inspired menu of flavoursome dishes such as falafel salad, Sri Lanka chicken sandwich and Egyptian bean stew make this cosy corner cafe a great place for a light lunch. It also has supremely comfortable sofas, a cheerful swing soundtrack and makes a cracking coffee, so there's every reason to linger.
