Absolutely beautiful food. We had chicken thighs and cod amongst other tapas and it was all gorgeous. Really flavoursome. Couldn’t fault it. Very busy and fast restaurant.

I’m an early morning coffee drinker and went to Broadway Market to buy a coffee at % Arabica. I was early and asked the woman - September 18th - who was opening when she would be ready. She said 7 and it was 6:40 so I thought I’d wait. At 7 the cafe was still a mess and not ready to open. The machine was running and the barista had been drinking her coffee and could see me waiting but it was obvious she was nowhere near ready nor bothered about selling. So, I went to the Pavilion opposite which was ready to go and friendly. This was a better option compared to the unsmiling person at %. Coffee at the Pavilion is delicious and I think cheaper too.

My expensive meal delivery was left on my doorstep in full view of a busy road 12 feet away. House lights were on, curtains left open to show we were in. A notice on our front door asks delivery agents NOT to leave parcels on our front step. There is also an option to leave with an immediate neighbour. I'd also given delivery instructions when ordering. ALL THIS WAS IGNORED. DPD didn't even knock on the door. They left an electronic message saying "parcel delivered and received by Helen..." which is a bare faced LIE! It's sheer good luck we received our parcel at all. Frankly, it doesn't matter whether the food is good or not. We won't be ordering from Arabica again as their delivery agent, DPD, puts expensive deliveries at such risk. Extremely disappointed as I expected to make repeat orders. I would not recommend while they are using DPD.

Received meal kit, was delicious until the pudding which had hair in it

complained to the company but didn't receive any response hence posting here
