The food is absolutely amazing and such great prices but it's the staff that really make cafe aroma special. It is run by the most wonderful family who make their guests dining experience their top priority. The waitress magda is fantastic and very attentative. You will never feel more welcomed and valued as a customer than when dining in cafe aroma. It's wheelchair friendly too!

I really like this cafe in Southdown. I have always had nice and accommodating staff. The menu is fairly different, but still has a lot of standard British faves, which is really nice. I am a fan of the huevos rancheros and my husband likes the Italian omlette. Would definitely recommend.
