Cheery cheer
Just had lunch at the Jikoni café in V&A East. An excellent curry, served promptly (OK it was 14:30 so the place wasn’t that busy) with cheery smiles. A real tonic after a rather grumpy morning.

Terrible service of a simple order.
This review is of the Jakoni Cafe's branch at the V&A East museum, Stratford, London.
We ordered and paid at the counter for a coffee and a sparkling water. The coffee was brought to the table within about five minutes but the water had not arrived after a further fifteen minutes. We twice stopped passing members of staff and reminded them of the order during the following ten minutes. Eventually after a further delay a glass and an unopened can of water was brought to the table. The water turned out to be still and not sparkling.
Really poor service of a basic and unproblematic drinks order at a newly opened and prestigious location. The V&A should find someone else to run their cafe.
