The brunch was good - it was the same kind of stuff that you get everywhere, but the good news is that the servers were willing to swap a thing or two from the set menu if you ask nicely. Lovely place to sit and catch up with your friends.

The wine was great, and the sapas were awesome except for the reindeer heart which was a bit salty for my taste. Enjoyed a fine cheese selection. Service was ok - when my friend was waiting for me at the front door they told here there was no reservation in my name - while I was sitting already at our table.
The place is small, so you need to reserve a table at least a week in advance.

I loved the place. There was a bit of noise there, which was fine as we went out for a team dinner and wanted to chat ourselves. The service was superb and on time - we have a lovely Italian waiting on our table.
I loved the aubergine soup the best, and loved the Nero risotto too. The cheese selection, and the fig cakes with it, were yummy. They also suggested good wine to go along with our food.

The food was really yummy, and even the drinks were tasty.
The servers did not speak any english and despite us asking for separate checks, they brought in one single check at the end and in the end after some waiting, they just divided the check by 4 ( we could have done it ourselves!). The lack of english also affected getting the orders taken. Our server was a bit slow too.
So, thumbs up for the food, but for the prices you are asking, you have to provide a good dining experience even if we do not speak finnish - this is the first restaurant of this caliber that I have been to in helsinki where the staff doesn't speak english so I do not think I am being unreasonable here.
I would recommend this place to non finnish speakers just for the food, but take a finnish friend with you to have the best dining experience.

The hostess is very friendly, and if you talk with her she can be very chatty. Food is good, free tea at the end of it, people talk here, so the feeling is pretty much asian. The food is good, and service, while a bit slow to give the food, is okay. The hostess knows her regular customers by name - seems like a female Kostas!
If you are the laid back, low maintenance type you would like it. If you are the type that waiters should be seen, not heard, you better skip the place.

I cannot recommend anything that should not be eaten, so try out everything! If you are a vegetarian or someone who only eat chicken, may be this is not the best place for you. Try the product of their microbrewery rather than generic beer.

I shared two starters and had a nice main course. The main courses look a bit pricey for Tampere but definitely worth it. Take time to enjoy the decor in the cafe.

European foodThe big plus is the nice atmosphere and the free wifi. The drinks selection, while a bit pricey, is varied.
The food leaves a bit to be desired. Just because your ambiance is great, you cannot flake out on the food. The food, while not bad, is generic in taste. I would rather have a generic decor and yummy, unique food than the other way around but that is just me. And hence the overpriced rating when it comes to food.

Not sure if this is the average Thai fare, but this place can learn a bit from the Tamarinds and MaiThais. Good for a bite, I would even say that it is okay to go back for the food, but only if you live very close and do not want to travel to the other places near Kamppi.

I am lucky to live near this place, and have mostly ordered take aways from here. The food is yummy, is not spiced down to resemble bland finnish food and thankfully, for them the definition of spice extends way beyond adding a lot of chilli to everything. Take away is fast and efficient, service is good. If you are a South Indian pining for some good spicy food, I would say you ditch the so called Indian restaurants and go here to enjoy.

Pasha goes against the norm of overpriced, bland food and offers a good lunch buffet for throw away prices. Service is good, the lady at the counter doesnt understand English, but you can communicate with her. While the food is not a culinary journey, it is good honest healthy food for a lunch. Skip breakfast to eat everything.

mediocre food. wont give you food poison, but wont make you a fan of chinese food either. bland chicken on the inside with outside smothered with generic tomato sauce.
Service was slow, even when the restaurant was almost empty. I have to wave my hand a lot to catch the attention of a waiter. seems like they forgot that we were sitting there.
And what with charging for tap water?
