   From the welcome as we walked through the door down to all drinks and food every detail was outstanding. We had stinks in the downstairs bar first before going upstairs to the mezzanine restaurant. The staff very friendly and helpful. Food was outstanding, Michelin star quality at a reasonable price. Lovely setting great vibe in the restaurant.

   I have nothing to say, apart from once again Kala is wonderful. It was a little quieter as we took a later lunch sitting but...that didn't matter. I could easily sit on my own in there for hours and work my way through the menu, can't wait to come back again! :)

   First time at Kala and the hood was delicious. Service was good. Loved the place. Only slightly negative comment to make is that when we received the bill we had been overcharged …. Been charged for three courses each when we had only had two courses each. Once the matter was pointed out to the waitress the bill was amended.

   Wanted somewhere unique and a little bit special. My Coeliac friend was thrilled with the many GF options that were offered to her. Staff were all welcoming and genuine. Food was unique, beautifully presnted and freshly made. We had two courses for £37. The wine was very tasty. We were too full for a pudding. I was a little warm in there as the kitchen is open. I would reccomend and go again.

   We had an excellent meal. One of us is gluten intolerant and so chose from the extensive gluten free menu. Imaginative, tasty and beautifully presented food. Staff were friendly, thoughtful and efficient!

    Really enjoyed my Sunday lunch at Kala - the food was really tasty, good quality and the portions just right. My server was lovely, she knew I loved honeycomb ice cream and gave me another portion, and didn't charge me extra. Really kind of her. Will dine again

    Food was good but portion size is very small, as if eating a 6 course taster menu, which doesn’t make this good value, especially when paying extra for the fish. We were a bit disappointed as the food was tasty but left feeling hungry. The wine was very good and enjoyed the varied options available by the glass.

    Lovely food and excellent service. Good vegan and vegetarian options. I’d highly recommend Kala. My only quibbles would be that the stripped down decor makes noise echo around and the layout unavoidably means walking up several steep steps.

    Service was way below their usual standard. We asked for drinks that didn’t arrive, sides were forgotten when mains brought over, had to ask for the complimentary bread (which was delicious when it arrived) and after each course dirty plates were left in front of us for way too long. Had to ask for a dessert menu and then had to ask again to actually order it. Bill took ages to arrive and had to twice for the card machine. Tried to collect my coat from the cloakroom and I had to raise my voice to get the member of staffs attention as he had his back to us on the reception and was on his phone. In contrast, the food was superb, as it always is! Is Kala Fried Chicken starter was superb and I loved the cauliflower on the side of the pork rib eye. Beautiful! A real shame the service ruined the food. Our reservation was at 6.45 and we left at 9.45 which I think says it all!
