Kat Moments Complimentary Starter Soup and Fresh Bread
Every meal begins with a welcoming bowl of complimentary hot lentil and turmeric soup alongside warm, freshly baked flatbread.
I especially recommend the fresh bread they bring to the table; it was genuinely delicious. They also serve soup before the main meal, which I thought was a nice and interesting touch.
Nabil Safari Welcoming, Considerate Meal Experience
A comforting, considerate dining setup greets diners with hot soup and satisfying mains ideal for warming catch-ups across any season.
Their free hot soup is absolutely a highlight, especially on such a winter day. The soup is free, but rich in flavour. Really considerate service.
