Fantastic to sit under tree at Praga and enjoy high quality food and coffee. Chef Rahul seems to go the extra mile for everyone. Smoked Salmon Roll and excellent coffee. The Carrot Cake may well be the best Carrot Cake you'll ever try. Home Made; made in-house by Chef Rahul. Truly a taste sensation and I almost ordered a second slice! Looking forward to new interior designs from the new Indian and Nepalese owners currently underway, the ideas and concepts will make Dickson even more exciting to visit.

Praga Cafe's pancakes are amazing! Fluffy, moist, and packed with creamy ricotta cheese. The taste is perfect, and the prices are very cheap. A must-try for breakfast or brunch! Staff is friendly. _Rating:_ 5/5 stars

Come inside, and see their are new owners, I ask how long you have been at the cafe, she said about two months ago. I ordered my breakfast and cappuccino, in short time the food was on the table , their service is fantastic . Staff worked fantastic, to be best to service their customers in the cafe . Greatest atmosphere in Praga Cafe. Not only serve the breakfast, but also the lunch , have no time to sit down, there is a Takeaway meal and Takeaway your favourite drinks or coffee . You may like this in the morning , smoked salmon and avocado in bagel cheese, or bacon and egg roll, with a coffee . Lunch may like fishman basket , or chicken Schnitzel with hot or cold drinks. Main more wonderful delicious meals. The first time I came to the cafe over 50 years ago in the 1970s. I met the first owner in the cafe, and then years later, the family took over the cafe and named Praga and stayed over 15 years. The new owner comes and takes over the Praga Cafe, come and help the small business, so this cafe can still be opened for years . I will still come for my best cappuccino and cakes .

After a few visits for coffee and lunch, I can say Praga Cafe leaves me pleased. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is cozy (although a bit rough around the edges and could use a refreshing), and the food is delicious. Although the menu seems straight forward, the dishes are delicious.
