About Chaiiwala
From those humble beginnings, chaiiwala has grown into one of the fastest-growing purveyors in the UK of a unique dining experience. Featuring at its heart one of the world's most distinctive teas, Karak Chai, The popularity of Karak Chaii, which combines milk or/and sugar with the spice cardamom, has soared in recent years. It has spread from its Indian heartland to the Gulf States, where it is now one of the most popular daily beverages and served in diners everywhere. Now it's in the UK and chaiiwala is using the same family secret recipe that was it at the heart of its beginnings nine decades ago to serve it as part of its distinctive Desi offerings. You can treat yourself to an all-day breakfast with chaiwalla's own take on some classic breakfast foods including masala omelette, masala beans or daal, two rotis or toast and all washed down with a cuppa Karak Chaii. Or treat yourself at any time of the day to sweet and savoury snacks from a Bombay sandwich to masala chips, and chaiiwala's sweet paratha to the delicious home-made curry Pav Bhaji.

Fancied a light bite to eat and this was the only place open in the area. Female staff member was very friendly and recommended the roti wrap & Karak chai deal. Two wraps and two cups of Karak chai for £11 which I thought was a good deal! The roti wrap was freshly made and hit the spot followed up by a nice cup of Karak chai. Will definitely be back again.

Naz *5/5 Stars: Excellent Coffee and Top-Notch Customer Service!* I recently visited this coffee shop and was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of their coffee and the exceptional customer service. The baristas were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their products. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. The coffee was rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. I appreciated the variety of options available, including non-dairy milk alternatives and specialty drinks. What truly stood out, however, was the customer service. naz ......warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. They were happy to answer questions and offer recommendations, and the service was prompt and efficient. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my visit and would highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for great coffee and excellent customer service. Can't wait to go back!
