Ordered a milkshake and asked for a mixture of two flavours, they said it’ll be a £1 extra, which is fine. The total should’ve been £6. When it came to payment, they charged me £8. I asked why I was being charged £2 extra they said £1 for a takeaway cup and £1 for whip cream (which I didn’t ask for).How were they going to give me the milkshake if not in a takeaway cup? Not a huge issue because of the £2, but more as it was underhanded way of over charging a customer and principally wrong.

I visited Benjamins with my family as a pre ramdaan meal.The restaurant was quiet, and had 2 members of staff on the floor.We asked for high chairs, which.. didnt arrive until just before the food arrived, which meant one child was on the lap, and the other was stuffed in the car seat for a prolonged period. A sensible person would assume childrens menus would also be provided..we had to ask for them.We had to wait for around 5 minutes to get the attention one of the two members of staff to place an order, even then the server disappeared then suddenly remembered.The food arrived and unfortunatly for the server, did one of the things i find irritating the most when dining with children, place hot food directly in front of a very young child whos first reaction is to grab! Luckily we had a cold can in front of us, so where able to sooth her hand without a tear.The food was "benjamins style and standard". The portion was a good size, but had a lot of fries. - Maybe add less fries, more of the main topping.We noticed the two members of staff sat down at a table, one was eating whilst the other sat with them back to the customers. - WUUUT!!We did want desserts, then decided against it as it was taking so long getting attention of the one sat with their back to us.When it came to paying, i got up went to the counter, and the staff member couldnt be bothered to walk around the counter, so dealt with things on the front of the counter. - Not exactly the luxery experience, but no biggy!In summary:Overall, the food was, just food. Portions are good sized, but loaded with lots of chips and not enough of the main topping.The real let down was the customer service, or not so much service. It felt lazy and inconsiderate.We wont be rushing back or reccomending any time soon.

Food was standard, came very fast. Was cold and seemed precooked besides the beans being really hot. Best thing about it was the Mocha for me.

An Unforgettable Celebration at Benjamin's Cafe!From the moment we stepped into Benjamin's Cafe, we knew our celebration of Adeel's incredible achievement of running 5km for 100 days was going to be something special. This quaint yet vibrant cafe exceeded all expectations, making our first experience here truly unforgettable.The customer service was nothing short of outstanding. Every staff member greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm, ensuring our event ran smoothly from start to finish. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our needs was exemplary, deserving a well-earned 5-star rating.The food, both sweet and savoury dishes, was a feast for the senses. Presentation was impeccable, with every plate crafted to perfection, making our dining experience not only delicious but visually stunning as well. The quality and taste of the food were unparalleled, with each bite leaving us more impressed than the last. It's clear that Benjamin's Cafe places a high value on using quality ingredients and expert cooking techniques, which is why their food deserves a 5-star rating across the board.A special thank you must go to Sister Aisha and her team. Their hard work and dedication to making our event a success did not go unnoticed. It was their efforts that truly made our first experience at Benjamin's Cafe a wonderful one. The team's passion for what they do shines through in every aspect of their service, from the friendly smiles to the exquisite food.In conclusion, Benjamin's Cafe is a gem in Luton that provided us with an exceptional venue to celebrate a significant milestone. Their outstanding customer service, 5-star food presentation and exceptional food quality and taste have set a new standard for what we expect from a cafe.

Breaky was satisfying with decent portions, and I opted to add extra protein to my order. While the eggs were a bit on the bland side compared to other places I've been, the pancakes, & sausage were delicious. I’d definitely visit again.

Good value for money. We both had the mini B breakfast. Place was clean and nice atmosphere. All the staff are very attentive.

Starting off the place looked nice but facilities and cutlery were dirty. The karak chai served to us initially was lukewarm but they exchanged it for a hot one on request. The waiters need training as they don't put the plate in from of you but just as close to them as possible, they brought the food too far apart from each and without cutlery which we had to ask for, I had to wait five minutes until my families food came out by then the food had gotten a little colder.The sausage they gave me still had the plastic or skin on it not sure if it comes like that or if someone forgot to peel it off. Overall not happy with the place and won't be coming back until it changes.

Great service and vibes. Staff is very friendly.We ordered buffalo chicken waffle and sweet chilli chips fully loaded with strawberry mojito. I was a bit disappointed witht the buffalo chicken waffle as it tasted a bit too salty for my liking other than that the rest of the food was ok. Although I must say it looked great.
