Last Friday’s menu said they will have ice cream but we found none :( The desi foods and others tasted amazing except the Madrasi chicken that kinda felt chewy and there were spicy tofu bites. They were so sweet, the first bite was a burst of flavors and felt so amazing. But having multiple sweet bites wasn’t a good idea at least for me. Kinda diminished the appeal of the flavor! Liked their egg salad and fish salad a lot.

Pretty good dining hall on west campus
The best dining hall on west no doubt... I see why it's called “cook” house now, bc whoever in the kitchen whipping it up knows what they're doing. The food is the best, the people are so nice and really give you a good amount of food. Never change Cook.

I like this dining hall! The hall is beautifully decorated with lots of colorful flags. So, it gives a really pleasant first impression. This is my first time here and I found the quality of both and desserts really impressive. The choice is limited, but they are tasty and pretty healthy. The arugula salad with pickled red onions and cheery tomatoes was sooo good in its own that I didn't even need salad dressing. Sourdough bread was a farmer-market-level high quality one. The whipping cream feels like it's made of real milk and the chocolate cake didn't feel too sugary. They seem to be attentive at providing vegan food (and desserts). But I didn't see much variety eg. no Kosher/Halal/Asian/Middle Eastern food. (But so far I have only been there once so I don't know how the selection will be in other days!)Ps. There was a tiny stage in this dining hall. There was a drum performance on the day I visited it. That's interesting! It's great if you like this sort of thing. But no so good if you prefer quietness during meal time.

If you like variety you're better off in North campus dining halls, Cook dining does not have that many options but it has a homey feel and good ambience.

Generally speaking, I am a fan of Cook house dining. It's the only West campus dining hall open until 9 pm, which I greatly appreciate. Best days of the week to be here for dinner are Monday (for Mexican) and Thursday (for Chinese).

Small selection but great quality food.
A fantastic Cornell dining hall since it is one of the few that is open until 9pm, an hour later than most of the others.
Delicious food. Gets pretty busy in the evenings.
Great food, comfy area. Breakfast for lunch.
Contental breakfast was good.
