It was just slightly sweet, but just sweet enough that it would pair so well with a warm beverage. Definitely recommend coming here if you want just a light on-the-go snack.

Straight to the point. Fantastic. 1. Old reviews said the Karak tea was either too bitter, or way too sweet. Those reviews were about a year ago. I can 't speak for if it 's a QA issue, but I went for my first time and for me the tea was just perfectly lightly sweetened. 2. The Karak tea I tasted had a predominant cardamom (Laachi) flavor. For me, it paired perfectly with a sweet coffee bun with strawberries and bananas. Coffee Bun exceeded my expectations. It 's a great coffee bun. A little expensive, but a great taste if you 've never had coffee bun. I got it fresh, it was warm, soft and fluffy, fragrant coffee flavored, and crispy on the bottom!! I 'm usually someone who would only pay this much for a one time experience, or maybe come back to bring a friend...BUT I loved the freshness and quality so much I would come back with money to enjoy myself! Lentil Soup just what you would expect Chicken Shawarma wrap I really enjoyed the garlic sauce, and the way the chicken was cooked was really fresh tasting and seasoned great. Nothing special , or extra amazing. But again...that coffee bun was DELICIOUS. Way better than going to a place like Hanabusa, in my opinion, even though I know they are different food businesses.

Soft, fluffy and buttery on the inside. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and when I bit into the butteriness it made my mouth sing...like no joke Karak Tea aromatic spices and herbs combined with condensed milk, cardamom saffron. This accompanied the coffee bun so well and tasted delicious.

The lights were off but the door was open so we tried our luck but the guy behind the counter stopped having a personal conversation just long enough to tell us they were out of everything. It must be nice to be so successful that you don't need any business! I won't be stopping by again though.
