My son recommended this lovely eatery for a late lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the steak and veggie rice bowl, my boys ordered the curry chicken roti and a bacon egg and cheese. The food was so flavorful and fresh! I had a good serving size as well. The layout was very inviting so we dined in. It’s definitely our new favorite spot. The restaurant owners are very nice and treated us like family. Reasonably priced and easy parking. Please check out this gem, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

A 10/10 across the board!! Phenomenal food at a very reasonable price with some of the BEST and most prompt service I have ever had. The people there were unbelievably kind, and the food & coffee was out of this world!!! Everything was so fresh and came out perfectly. I definitely recommend the Chicken Rice Bowl and vanilla coffee. This place is worth the visit!

I had an exceptional experience with Food Hall Cafe! My Uber driver was delayed, and the restaurant owners personally called me to let me know my order had been ready for 25 minutes. I’ll admit I was a little nervous after waiting an hour from when the food was first prepared, but OMG; it was worth it. The food was so fresh and flavorful. This place is truly a hidden gem and absolutely worth a visit!

I had a delightful experience at their restaurant for two days in a row. First, I tried their salmon, and then I had the shrimp. Both dishes were fantastic.I am big fan of their food!

First of all, the owners are absolutely amazing. The food is top notch all around the board from breakfast, lunch and dinners. This is just an awesome space and a great place to be with good people and amazing food. Me and my son eat here every weekday morning before going to school, he's a picky eater and he loves it
