Fosse Park Avenue, Leicester, Leicestershire
Part of the Chaiiwala chain — see all 125 locationsChaiiwala began in Leicester in 2015 with a simple, almost stubborn idea: bring the cardamom-and-ginger karak our founders grew up with, the cup served in family kitchens and roadside dhabas across South Asia, to the British high street, properly. No syrups. No shortcuts. A seven-spice blend, whole milk, slow brewing, pulled long the way it’s done back home. The first store opened its doors in Leicester, and the queue made the case. People weren’t just looking for a chaii, they were looking for the cup that meant home. Ten years on, we’re 115 stores strong across the UK, Canada and growing, pouring over 100 million cups, and still brewing each one the way our founders learned in Mumbai.

First time visiting Chaiiwala after at least 2 years and it was both a good and bad experience. This branch is in an excellent location, in Fosse Park, Leicester and is surrounded by many retail shops, restaurants and cafes. The car park is also huge, the retail park itself is huge lol so you will definitely have no issues parking, however it may take you a while to get back to your car depending where you go. Anyways Chaiiwala itself is situated in the food court aka food central and has both indoor and outdoor seating with a good number of seats. The place is clean, modern and overall has a very good menu with a wide variety of options to choose from. The customer service was also very good. The main thing, the food and the karak. We got the karak tea and the karak coffee. The coffee was surprisingly very nice and the tea was definitely way better than the one I had a couple years prior - it was fresh, hot and just the right amount of flavour. Moreover, we got the masala fries and a mixture of the wraps. The masala fries were SOGGY fries with literally ZERO masala! They just tasted of ketchup so big disappointment with the 🍟. The wraps were overall good - hot, freshly prepared and actually had some flavour to them. Overall, this was better than my last experience. I'd definitely recommend the karak coffee and tea here along with the 'mixed kebab' wrap and both the vanilla cheesecake and the Biscoff cookie cake. 8/10
