So I had a really bad experience here previously and was apprehensive about returning, but fortunately I did. To say that the service was exceptional is an understatement. The food on both subsequent visits has been top notch and excellent value for money. These chaps are onto something that East London needs. Family friendly. Good food. Awesome specials. Great service.

Talk about "East London Hiden gems" I was surprised to find out that this place has existed for around 10yrs! How? Anyway I enjoyed my brunch at a very affordable price of Wednesday specials If you're around Berea,pop in sis! You won't regret it They have enough parking however the entrance can confuse you, turn left at the robots and the first left again and again ,and that's your entrance. However, if you are not driving like me, you can use the entrance off PEARCE street (@ com office)

This was my third time having a meal at the Dot Com. We had Breakfast one day and lunch the next. The buffet has changed quite a bit. My server choose to give me a small portion and when I asked for a bit more she had an attitude. I also wish the food were a lil warmer. Was Luke warm when it was served. The beef was not seasoned that great.

For the first time in my life I never needed to ask for extra hollandaise sauce lol even though the chef didn’t get the poached egg right, the food was good. They also seem to have daily specials. The parking situation is a bit confusing, the entrance I used was opposite GIBBS which wasn’t the right one as you go through the PC components part of the business. So I’d suggest using the entrance on the other side? Or call to confirm. The setup is nice and has a jungle vibe as well as has fish tanks all around. It’s also possible to buy jams etc from the shop inside. All in all not a bad experience.
