After a few years of bland food, this has finally become a great place to eat, with good quality food at a good price. Food is typically tasty, with good use of condiments (unlike what happened, say, 5 to 10 years ago). The only aspect that is not so good is the rarity of meat in meals, especially pork, but this is, perhaps, understandable given the tight budget this place presumably operates on. Also, the touch of a cookie or slice of cake being included in the price is excellent. I miss the fish and chips on Friday, though. I think it could be kept on the menu without too much detriment either to the quality of the food or to the finances of the restaurant.

Nice place. Has several independent stands inside. One if a coffee shop, the other one is a burrito stand. It offers meal deals for students. This includes a lunch menu, a noodle stand, as well as a salad and yogurt self-service area. It also sells fruits, toast, bottle beverages, machine coffee, pastries and ice cream pops. Regretfully the actual food options are somehow limited and they stay the same everyday. If you have an allergy of food intolerance the options are extremely limited, since there is nothing to prevent food from being contaminated. The cashiers are generally nice, as well as the people working on the coffee shop, but the rest of the staff can be pretty unfriendly, getting almost offended if you ask for any clarification. I don't know about the burrito stand since I have not been there. The prices are slightly different than in other shops at the campus, so be sure to check. The wait at the coffee shop can long since the same person makes the coffee and changes the money. Still, it's a nice place to have lunch once in a while. The most annoying part of this shop is that it closes at 3:00 pm, very early and it's not open during the weekend. [Edit] The coffee shop was replaced by a tea place and somethibg else now. Have not tried it, but as the coffee shop was my facourite part, i dont go anymore. There is a market now to buy groceries. It is good if you have a meal plan and if you habe resuable bags, you can buy loose items. I dont buy much as it is too expensive for me. However, buying loose spices or grain can be convenient and susteinable.

Has its pro/cons of a Mensa. Wraps are good and the staff is friendly. The selection of drinks is good. Salad and fruit bar is acceptable but not extremely well stuffed. The prepared but cooked food has room for improvement. Some is overcooked and not quite my taste. If you know what to pick the price value is ok.

A good selection of food, whether you're looking for burritos made to order, Oriental food, jacket potatoes, sandwiches, or just a coffee, it has a good selection. It's better than most of the places to eat on campus, with the food being of acceptable quality. The place does feel like a cafeteria (which, to be fair, it is), and doesn't invite you to spend much more time in than a short lunch break, or grab something in passing.

The food at Eat at the Square is best on campus! The variety is vast for all types of cuisines. The food menu doesn’t change too frequently though, however, it’s not too bad. It’s open only during weekdays and only for breakfast and lunch which is quite sad and for those staying on campus are left no choice but to eat in Park Eat! It gets extremely crowded during lunch time so it’s best to go when it just opens around 11:15-11:30 am.

The staff are a bit dopey, and they get in your way rather than helping you. You have to fight for a tray and some food in this place!! Also, the prices are too high, really. When you finally get to eat some, you find that the food is OK, not great.

Great Value for students. Wish they would identify allergens in food though. But price can't be beat. Also should have a discount after a certain time for the uneaten food instead of throwing it out :(

Went here to meet a colleague who works at the University. Students were largely away so there were no queues.... No idea, but I undaunted it would be HEAVING in term time. Food was lovely.

(Translated) Good student dining room. The food is mostly fast food. but diverse, there is Chinese, Indian, traditional. Salads, drinks. Self catering. I liked the chicken in the bun poured with melted cheese sauce. Of the minuses, no discounts are quite expensive. at rush hour, finding free space is not easy. there are queues. (Original) Хорошая студенческая столовая. Еда в основном фаст фуд. но разнообразная-есть китайская, индийская, традиционная. Салаты, напитки. Самообслуживание. Мне понравилась курица в булочке политая расплавленным сырным соусом. Из минусов -без скидки довольно дорого. в час пик найти свободное место не легко. бывают очереди.
