Kilau Coffee — Restaurant in Aberdeen City

Can't rate this for its food and coffee since we weren't able to actually order anything.

We came in with our disabled child who chose the first table nearest the counter to sit at. It had a reserved card on it and we were going to find another table but a staff member removed the reserved card so we could sit down.

All good, all normal, menu looked fine, lots of customers and we chatted about what we fancied having.

And then that was it. No one came to our table. Customers came in for takeaway coffee and were served.

Nobody paid any attention to us. At all. For fifteen minutes. The staff could see us as they had to walk around us to serve other tables, and we were at the table facing the counter.

We really liked the atmosphere of the cafe, it feels quite minimalistic but comforting especially with the food they served. The food was lovely but we felt like the halloumi were on a salty side, more than usual, slightly over salted possibly at least for our taste. The plate that the salmon tagliatelle was on was chipped in three places as seen on the picture and also had some red sauce on the outside of it, that’s why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 as this could be improved on. The salmon tagliatelle had a lot of onion as well or taste of onion, the salmon was lovely though. The chicken penne was lovely as well. We ordered Fentimans Cherry Cola which we both loved and also Pomelo San Pelegrino. Both drinks were very nice, at the end we got to Fentimans to go as we...
