Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.

The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" β€” not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.

Nostalgic bites with a side of uncertainty.

The Canteen Cafe is a local favorite, serving up classic dishes with a side of nostalgia. A-ABEL can't get enough of the cod fish, describing it as the best in East London. Chiho is sold on the all-day breakfast and extensive menu options, while Jonathan is head over heels for the unbeatable prices and friendly service.

However, not all stories have happy endings. Some customers have reported declining food quality and less-than-stellar hygiene, which raises a few eyebrows. If you’re after a spot that combines comfort food with a community feel, you might want to give this place a shotβ€”assuming you’re okay with a little mystery.
