About this place
Start the day with toast, then settle in for curry or pilaf at lunchtime. Big Ben has the kind of menu that suits the changing pace of a café day. One visitor’s account of breakfast describes toast made with thick-sliced, mountain-shaped bread and apple juice chosen as the complimentary drink. The menu also lists toast with salad, a boiled egg, and coffee or tea. Breakfast hours vary by day, starting at 7:00 on weekdays and 9:00 at weekends.
For lunch, there is beef curry, hamburger curry and grilled meat rice, as well as pilaf with a choice of prawn, chicken or dry curry. One diner remarked that the hamburger was large; the menu offers it with rice or paired with curry. For something lighter, a hot sandwich or sandwich served with a mini salad is another option.
For dessert or a pause between errands, try Mont Blanc, chocolate cake or apple tart with coffee. Visitors have mentioned enjoying Mont Blanc with coffee, and the aroma and texture of an apple tart filled with generous pieces of fruit. Sweet dishes can also be the reason to stop by.
A visitor’s account notes that smoking is permitted throughout the restaurant. Payment is cash only, and the entrance and seating are not wheelchair accessible, so it is worth checking whether the arrangements suit your needs before visiting.
