Charisma

Not sure what to say about charisma, other than this place lacks it. The Charmisa café is located across the road from Merton Industrial Estate which is sometimes called Morden Insdutrial Estate due to its proximety to Morden Road tramstop. Both are within 100 metres of each other on the busy A24 road. This is essentially a plastic chair caff of the greasy spoon, egg chips and beans variety on a Monday — Saturday basis.
It is this trade that keeps it alive, not its Chinese offering. I have had the pleasure of trying both, and have to say they are better at the greasy English food. There is nothing special here, in fact I am sure the Industrial estate crowd don’t welcome eating here much, but it is the only place within a stone’s throw to get something hot and reletivly quick.
A word about the Chinese ownerslovely old people. Very hospitable and friendly. They make it what it is, it is their life and soul their business, but the name of charisma is somewhat misleading. So is the Chinese food signs, because it is only available in the evening and then the café is closed, they would prefer not to have washing up to do and that you take the food away.
