The Caf is a delightful gem nestled in Nicholson Commons! 🌟 With an impressive all-you-can-eat buffet, I found myself indulging in their chicken tikka and perfectly seasoned roasted veggies.
The atmosphere is casual, great for a quick meal or when you want to unwind with friends. I appreciated the attentive service - shoutout to Bobby for making my reservation seamless!
However, for anyone expecting fancy dining, be mindful this is a cafeteria serving the campus community. Overall, a solid pick for comfort food and a vibrant atmosphere! 🍽️
