Kake and others visited on a Wednesday evening in September 2008. We were a largeish group, so had prebooked space in the upstairs room, which turned out to be fairly plain decor-wise, though not uncomfortable.
The food was all really quite average. Kake's starter of lentil soup was very bland, despite being advertised as "spicy soup made with special herbs". I couldn't detect any flavours other than that of the lentils, and even those were slightly undercooked. My main of king prawn sagwala was better in terms of flavour, with a decent quantity of tasty chopped greens in the sauce, but the king prawns themselves were rubbery and flavourless (and I suspect they may not actually have been king prawns at all).
Kake's verdict: I wouldn't boycott the place if others wanted to come here, but I certainly wouldn't come back on purpose.
Accessibility: At least one step up to get in, and toilets are up two flights of winding, narrow stairs.
