    Went in for a meeting as this looked like a nice, quiet place. We ordered karak chai, ghulab jaaman cheesecake, and then an aloo tikki burger and samosa chaat. All the food was good, but just short of great. The tea was like others I've had, the cheesecake was nice but felt like it was a bit old, the allo tikki burger was nice but *very* small, and the samosa chaat was more yoghurt than anything else. Helpful staff, clean premises, reasonable prices, but parking an issue, and there are only 4 tables I believe. However, all in all, a decent place, and would go again, and perhaps try the delicious looking desi breakfast!.

    Awesome awesome…..!!! Best place fr your hearty Pakistani/Indian street food//snacks..like Karachi bun Kabab, paratha roll, yummy breakfast (served all day) and the best chaii hands down..! Very nice ambiance of the cafe, loads on the menu to satisfy all palettes. Kind staff and very reasonable prices too. Highly recommended to all tea/chaii lovers out there.

    Came for breakfast with my friend. From the pictures, the place looks big, but it's pretty small. There are 2 booths down the back and a couple of tables out front. I ordered the english breakfast and my friend ordered the desi. I was kind of disappointed that my breakfast didn't come with tea. My friend was disappointed that the paratha was more like a roti and not flaky like a paratha should be. The food was nice, but we had to wait ages to get it, which was a little annoying. Also, the place was kind of cold, especially with it being freezing out.

    We got the pink chai coupled with pink chai tres leches cake and it was simply gorgeous!!🥰 The tea was so sweet and nutty with spices reminiscent of Pakistani desserts. The decor was also lovely. Way better meet up place compared to your bog standard boring Costa or Starbucks💀

    So I came here today after a meal. Staff are like on planet Mars. No smile, no customer service skills, I could hear there own drama going on in the kitchen. Is this a business they are running or a play ground. Won’t be returning. Food cold when it ment to be hot. I understand supporting local businesses but I prefer quality over a childish playground with kids running the show and they need to dress properly. Not like they going to the gym!

    Never eaten here before but inlove to try new foods. I had the Desi breakfast and added chillies/chicken cheese to my omelette. It was the best omelette I've ever had no exaggeration! It was so damn good! And the authentic chai was just delicious I had 2! Well done guys! 🤌🏼🌹💖

    I was confused at the beginning the one of the staff member called Rida suggested me to get the “Butter Chicken Roll” I must say It’s very delicious 🤩 and we have received an welcoming, friendly and helpful service from Rida. ☺️

    Really wanted to like this place but it was just a disappointment. Ordered a large chai and cheesy masala chips. After quite a wait and somewhat rude service I received a small chai and chips with a tiny sprinkling of shredded cheese. Couldn't rectify the sizing issue as the place was busy and there was only one staff member sorting out several issues already. Frustrated as it wasn't cheap for a tiny chai. Taste of the chai was good (not the chips, cold and soggy). Won't be returning.

    Not sure where to start to give a shout-out to this wonderful place for a warm and enchanting place. The ambience , the food ,the staff all together were really awesome. Staff PRIYA from STOCKPORT road branch is really kind and made us feel like a home her customer service is outstanding.I loved chai , coffee , bun omelette, punjabi samosas , masala fries , Gajjar ka halwa and the cakes.definitely will turn back as I do since 2021. Highly recommended for all the chai lovers and looking an amazing place.

    Rude staff I visited your branch today and I am dissapointed with rude staff member who was at the till. Very unhelpful and her attitude was bad. I asked her about the app and she was unhelpful. She said she doesn’t know about the app as she doesn’t use it. Her tone and attitude was off putting to be honest. There was no enthusiasm at all. If you want customers to buy things at least be smiley and friendly, he’ll them out with the app and any questions about it: another thing which I don’t approve of is the steps to the store. It isn’t pram friendly or wheelchair accessible. Numerous times I have visited and staff have seen the struggle I have had coming into the store. Not once has any of them offered to help.if they can’t not help then suggest an alternative way to get in the store

    I had a wonderful experience at chaiiwala,thanks to Priya. She was so friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Her service made the experience even better and I would definitely recommend the cafe to anyone looking for a great snack spot. Thanks, Priya!"

    Tea is lovely but the portions of food are ridiculously small and unfair Bought a cheese cake and it was stale and old. Gave them a second chance and it was even worse, second one had green dye in it and did not taste fresh at all Won’t be going back as they really don’t seem to care

    I wish to thank everyone involved in the preparation and presentation of our meal on Sunday evening. It was exceptional in every way and added so much to our enjoyment after tired of continous work. * Karak chai was bombastic. * Tikka naan was mind juicy blowed our mind. * But samosa was flat and salt less but compromised. Please pass on my special thanks to all concerned. We will certainly be coming again and we will have no hesitation in recommending you to all our friends.

    Customer service was awful as soon as we walked in. The young girl with shoulder length hair & glasses was so rude & created an unwanted atmosphere. Ordered 1 desi breakfast with chaii which the chaii didn’t come with & had to ask twice for. 2 English breakfast 1 arrived cold which didn’t make any sense if I ordered two the same? A long awaited for the mac & cheese with kebab roll which arrived 10min after the breakfast? Definitely would not recommend coming to this branch.
