Auntie's Chai Khana in Barking and Dagenham

Good value for money, but the tables are sticky with fried food. The owner asks guests to leave a review immediately. This isn't okay and leads to overly positive reviews. In reality, I'd say the ranking is 4.3. The ambiance is more like an Indian fast food joint. The surrounding area isn't so nice.

Well This Place Would Be On My Favourites Now. The Best Place To Visit Which Gives Me Homely Vibes When I Am Far Away From Home ♥️ And The Weekends Special Halwa Chhole Puri & Mango Lassi Are Just Amazing And Most Recommend 😊

Tea is tasty I am from Maldova tired I dian tea first the first time JV your smile makes me come to your restaurant everyday Keep smiling you beautiful Indian girl

Really Really delicious food great thing is its fresh they made at time on order.. just love it.. Will come again and recommend to my family and friends..

Aunty’s Chai Khana is an absolute treasure! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warmest hospitality that instantly feels like home. The aroma of freshly brewed chai fills the air, and every sip is a perfect balance of spices, comfort, and tradition. Their karak chai is a must-try — rich, flavourful, and brewed to perfection.

I ate their choley bathory and they were delicious. I had a great experience with them. I recommend everyone to come here and try them.

What a great bright atmosphere in Auntie’s Chai Khana. We were welcomed very well by Vandana when we came in. Menu card was impressive with so much to choose from which took us time to decide what exactly to order. Service was amazing, friendly, polite and fantastic. Gave us a lot of time to order, while the floor was still busy with customers dining, on Sunday evening. We got what we wanted, even more to say we were recommended to taste Papdi chat which the owner herself made it in no time. The owner is very friendly and has a great connect with people, even if it’s customer’s first time in. We ordered Chole Bhature which was a delicacy for us, my wife’s favourite. In many restaurants here in London they miss to serve either the green chilli or pickle or onion slice, not here though. You get what you order exactly what they serve back home in India. Dahi sprinkled with chat masala was on too.. Chole was tasty and good portion too.. We couldn’t resist to try more and we ordered Onion and potato Paratha. We asked to be served spiciest, hott hott and it was exactly what we asked for.. The portion was very good and stuffing was amazing.. We got to know that Vandana is the in-house Chef and her prep skills was so great, taste making, faster response (not seen in other restaurants with such faster servings). What a great addition to the kitchen as. Chef. To add a lot of touch of a surprise, the owner served us with two delicious home made cheese cakes which were so tasty and yummy. We couldn’t resist to finish. Food are very much home made, served with rich of love. The owner’s efforts in running this restaurant is very obvious of how much heart and soul she has put in to this business, truly a whole hearted dedication coupled with effortless servitude mind, a rare to find and much needed for this world we live in, right now. We only came in for a quick meal time, we left back with both our tummies filled and our hearts too with satisfaction saturated with happiness and contentment. Great work restaurant, keep it going. We highly recommend to visit in, try atleast once, you’ll be amazed you’ll be a regular visitor. God bless your efforts restaurant.

Authentic Indian food, we ordered samosa, aloo paratha, everything was freshly made and tasty. Highly recommend this place

THERE 5 STAR's reviews are FAKE. Very poor service. The whole point is to eat together as a family, not separate, waiting 25-30mins to be served individually. That is completely wrong! We want to eat together at the same time, not when one has finished their food and the other has just received their food. Toilet is disgusting and very dirty.

Great food, deserves all the reviews. Very friendly staff and delicious freshly-prepared dishes. Recommend aloo paratha!

The food was delicious and service was exceptional. JV helped us throughout the experience.

Very tasty indian food with good ambience and quantity

Really homely, food is amazing 😍

Excellent food and very nice service

Had a lovely meal here with the family, was met by friendly staff, we ordered quite a lot not knowing the portions were quite generous so had to take away, which the staff were happy to pack for me. There is a good selection on the menu, everything is freshly made and customisable to your liking, great ambiance and plenty if seating. The owner JB, stepped out to say hello, very friendly and welcoming. Look forward to eating here again

We had a fantastic experience ordering from your restaurant! The food was incredibly tasty —we ordered Chaat, Noodles, Samosas,Shahi paneer, Tawa naan and every dish was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The noodles were just a bit spicy for our preference, but still very enjoyable. The owner is very kind and welcoming. What truly stand out is the way she treat her customers is really appreciated. Thank you for the amazing food and the heartfelt hospitality. We’ll definitely be ordering again and recommending your place to others!

The choley with butorey and gobi parata was on point, followed by the karak chai. Will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and popping back with my hubby to try there weekend menu.

Impressive customer service standards❗️ That is always the key to me. 👌 The Sweet lassi ... like WOW!!! Thick n creamy, like a milkshake. Simply Gorgeous ❣️ The best I've had locally in a very, very long time. 👏🏼 Chaat and paratha were amazing. A generous portion size, too. Had papdi chaat in umpteen restaurants, and I was not expecting it to be so tasty given the competitive price 👍🏼 I will definitely return, and I 💯% recommend this place. 🥰

Amazing home made food, you should 💯 try!

Absolutely amazing food, authentic taste, like it's home made, I had mine then went and got my girlfriend and came back, she loved it too, will be returning over and over now I've found this place!

Staff etc very polite and helpful. Unfortunately the Chola Bhatura were very bland and hardly and flavour to it. Portion size was also unfortunately very small for the price I paid compared to other places .

Everything about this place was wonderful! The menu had a great selection, the flavors were bold, and the service was impeccable. A truly memorable experience.

Highly recommend this place. Food was tasty , good ambience

I went there because of their good reviews. Tried Samosa and Papri chaat. But these guys don’t even know how to make Chaat. I believe all 5 star reviews are fake. Because their food is so bad and they take a lot of time even for small orders. Worst taste and worst experience. Not recommended at all.

The food has a truly authentic taste, giving a comforting, home-like feeling even when you’re away, and the host is incredibly hospitable.!!💚😇

Lovely food as always , all freshly made and have that homemade taste too. Everything in this place is just right, clean, service with big smiles, affordable and good portions, and well presented, thank you so much 😊

It was good experience. I ate gobi parantha. It was very good and tasty.i highly recommend everyone visit.

4th time here 😊 food was so lovely, fresh and tasty as always, all meals are homemade and give that authentic home feeling, friendly service as always 😊

The food is good and the service is good as well

Lovely food and very welcoming. Best chole bhatura I had so far

Such a lovely place.Their aloo parathas ,poori chole and their achar gives such a homely feeling. A must place to visit

Thank you! Very nice authentic food!
