Kika is genuinely a good restaurant. I visited on a weekday evening, and had a full three courses with drinks. I recently moved to London, and this was the first meal that surprised and pleased me.
Kika is a little different, nicely decorated and an exciting place to be. The service was friendly and proud. You can imagine the "hippy cool" coming in for a coffee to absorb the atmosphere to build on there own self image. When the food came it was wholesome, tasty and had packed with flavour. Its thai with a twist, a bit bohemian and quirky. I loved the way you could see the nodules of spice that flavoured the curries in your sauce. I had the lamb curry. It was a treat; creamy with sumptuous goodness. The fruitshakes were delicous - you could just taste the minerals and vitamins filling your gullet with goodness. For pudding I ordered an apple tart. Not sure where it fitted into the scheme of the meal, but it was gooey, caramalised and honest. Even though the dish was obviously laiden with sugar and butter, you could still get away with thinking you were quaffing on apples fresh from the orchard so one didnt feel to guilty.
Anyone who claims the food (full menu) isnt tasty is a lost soul. It may not be presented with military precision, but it delivers on flavour and a sense of wellbeing to the diner.

I was really disappointed last time I went to Kika. I ordered some bread and jam and got two small slices of toast with a little jam on the side which cost me 2.50 plus service charge (which, as I found out, did not go towards the service staff but the owner's own pocket). For this money I could have got a decent sandwich somewhere else. Also, I thought that the price of the old croissants which have been on display for several days was a little steep at 2 pounds.
There are better value-for-money cafés in the area and I would recommend not to get fooled by the nice decor of the place.

This cafe offers tasty and original food, from fresh and lively salads, to hearty soups, homemade chips, and scrumptious jacket potatoes. The cafe has a cozy atmosphere with its wooden tables, while the terrace out back is lovely in summer. The fresh juices are a lovely accompaniment to every meal, and the menu offers an excellent range of options for vegetarians. It's worth the small trek away from Upper St to enjoy this place.
