We've visited Christine's Delights a number of times, since first coming across this cafe a while back. The staff here are always super friendly, especially the lady who owns the place (a really friendly and superb Greek family). Have always felt welcomed each and every time, with food that's always hot and fresh. There are a number of gluten-free options, which is nice to see. A favourite of mine and mum's, is the gluten-free mushroom, spinach and cheese pie, which is fantastic! It's served with salad and also a good serving of hummus. There are also a good number of cakes available, however they didn't have any gluten-free ones left this time. Depending when you go, they do have some nice gluten-free ones, along with normal cakes too and tasty Greek sweet treats.

ordered a cabbage dish that didn't specify it contained meat. After one bite I suspected and queried it... It was Beef! The response from the owner being that it's ok because it's halal. Firstly, just because I'm brown, it doesn't mean I'm Muslim! How assuming and ignorant. Secondly I'm Hindu so I would never eat beef! Thirdly I'm actually vegetarian too!

And it doesn't say on the menu or the counter it contains any meat. It says cabbage, egg and lemon sauce if anyone was wondering.
The last insult, after some fake apologies, was being charged for it! After being offered something else 'instead', it was actually as well as when it came to paying. A new level of low and greed that is not befitting of a Beeston business.
Disappointing & culturally...
Read moreFirst time visit, last time visit. Entered into a cramped area with many 2-person tables and 1 larger table. Would not want to try and hold a private conversation, tables are very close together. We sat at larger table and I went down to the bottom of the shop to order. There did not seem to be a menu, so I ordered coffee and cakes. I was told (fortunately) that I did not have to pay up front. Shortly after returning to my seat we were approached and informed we would have to eat outside as we had a dog with us. Well there are plenty of coffee shops in Beeston that welcome dogs, so if you have a dog avoid this place or sit outside in the cold with...
