Before you go

When to go

An afternoon start after noon avoids uncertain breakfast service. Choose cooler months or a mild evening for the outdoor sections.

Budget and paying

Two shared starters and the coffee order are the core purchases. Ask about samboosa quantity and coffee serving size; skip large breakfast trays for this short tasting.

Self-guided. Timing is an editorial suggestion, not a measured journey. Check kitchen hours and access before going.
