Chai Station - Vegetarian Indian in Cheshire West and Chester

Lovely food, I'd recommend the Dosa.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. From the starters to the dessert, everything was good. The staff were equally impressive – they were attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome throughout our meal. Their genuine hospitality really elevated the whole experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!

Food was lovely, perfect portion size

Great menu and very authentic, lovely hosts and amazing tasting food, will definitely be back!

The food was just fantastic - thanks for a great evening!

Amazing food, this place is fantastic. The dal curries are out of this world and I felt no need for a meat addition I would normally expect in an western Indian dish. Thoroughly satisfied with what I tasted on the menu and would happily recommend to veggies, vegans, omnivores and carnivores.

Amazing food and customer service!

Amazing experience, would love to come again 💯💯💯

Everything you eat here is freshly prepared and taste amazing. I enjoyed their golgappa chat, vadapav and masala dosa. It gives you a feeling of home cooked food which we always miss here in foreign land.

Lovely people, serve test on India.. must visit if you are in chester..

Pathetic! Pathetic! Ordered food for delivery, quantity was extremely low for what they charged , oil spilled all over the packaging, looks like we are eating oil and not food, oil spilled on diet cokes, chapati completely cold. On the app it shows 3 chapati for 1.50 but we received only 1 , that too in horrible condition. Would never recommend this place to anyone. I know the staff won't really care about this review , but i am making other customers aware.

Wonderful! I came from NYC to eat here and met the incredible, Bobby! Great food, peaceful atmosphere and kind people.

Great spot to taste some amazing Indian food

We had the most incredible time eating here last night.  The owners were the most friendly, welcoming and wonderful hosts.  We felt right at home and had such a laugh with them. The food was exceptional, all of it was just divine, the flavours were amazing.  The Gobi masala was a standout though, this is one of my usual favourite dishes but the one we had last night was definitely the best I have ever eaten.  I wish we were local as we would be in here all the time if we could, we will definitely be back on our next trip to Chester .  I would recommend eating here to anyone who wants some exciting, authentic and interesting Indian food.

Excellent food and friendly place!

Great vegetarian restaurant. Thanks to Bobby and wife for making us feel so welcome and providing such excellent vegetarian food. Will definitely whenever we are in Chester

Absolute Indian (Asian) test in Chester UK. Must come to test and have a sip of tea with very much friendly owner Bobby💯.

One of the best place to taste the Indian food in Chester 😋

The only 100% Vegan restaurant in Chester. A go-to place for Authentic Indian Street Food...Vada Pau is a must try!

Lovely place, relaxed and welcoming. Bobby was the perfect host and his wife was an amazing chef!

This is the best Indian food I have had in Chester so far. The food is really tasty, everything was fresh and it's all vegetarian or vegan too.

Oily and did not taste nice. Overpriced for what it is worth, will not be ordering again! Save your money!

Had a delicious meal at the end of a long day cycling. The food and service was simply excellent and cooked individually to your choice of spiceyness. The owner was gregarious and very friendly.

I didn't miss the meat at all (partner did but he's a caveman 😁) the food was delicious, even more so the next day! The chai tea was recommended by Bobby ( quite a character!) and so glad it was I really loved it! Just bought some chai tea bags to try and replicate. It was a bit empty when we went but that meant we got more attentive service. The dosas were gorgeous, as was the curry. Yum!

Food was very delicious and the service was also on time❤️

Real indian flavour, I had masala dosa and chai. It was really good. The budha sculptures, agarbathi smell,old telephone, trolley pullers,model everything brings a mixed traditional feel of ancient Indian and British time.

I would give a zero start if i could the food was hideous the carrot halwa gajjar ka halwa looked and tasted disgusting tea was in cups inside a bag half of the tea leaked in the bag total waste of money definitely wouldn’t recommend .

This is my regular spot when I come to UK. Very good food. Good atmosphere. The cousine it covers is unique in Chester.Best in town.

Amazing food. Truly excellent flavours.

This is the best place I have tried in the UK. Authentic Indian food run by an Indian family. My favourites are samosas and vada pav both these items literally give competition to indian sellers in India. Can’t recommend enough. This place with its food takes me back to India with each bite.

Best quality food. If you want to enjoy real quality pure vegetarian, Vegan food, this the place. 100/100. Very nice person bobby is. Must visit in Chestar.

We had a lovely meal, really authentic guarani food and the owners were really welcoming. Would definitely go again very soon hopefully

Delicious traditional indian food. All home made and very tasty. Staff were all lovely and helped recommend dishes. It was also very good value for money. Definitley recommend :)

The absolute best authentic vegetarian Indian you'll ever find in Chester. Shoutout to Bob (I think that's his name), he's super friendly and kind. The food was fantastic and they also have clean toilets in the restaurant. The menu has a lot of selections, and even offers vegan cake. Truly underrated and a hidden gem in Chester. A must visit for vegetarians, vegans, and Indians. (By the way, this restaurant is fully vegetarian.)

The best taste I had in Chester. The proper authentic , quality of the food can’t wait to visit again and try other dishes .

Coming from Germany to meet awesome Bobby to have the greatest Indian meal ever! Very nice service and extraordinary quality of food.

Had an absolutely brilliant meal here. Had Pani Puri. Excellent service and the food was authentic Indian street food. Will be back soon. Thank you to Bobby and his wife. Came again on 01/04/2023 and it didn't disappoint. Excellent meal again. Last visit was on 06/04/20204. The food was amazing. Service excellent and can't wait to go again.

Fabulous choice of really tasty, authentic food, dosa masala, chat dal, mango lassi, everything we ordered was lovely. All served with a warm and very friendly, welcome. Will be visiting again.

Amazing visit such a cosy spot, Bobby is so lovely and made it really special with his kind service, the food was so delicious and well priced - I especially recommend the chilli paneer. Can't wait to come again!

We've just visited for the first time and were very impressed with our meal. The food is really flavoursome and there are so many interesting items on the menu. The owner, Bobby, is a fantastically warm host and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this restaurant to vegetarians and vegans but, to be honest, I really don't think omnivores would miss meat - the dishes are so delicious!

Incredible food, great service, staff were so helpful and even made menu suggestions. We enjoyed it all - Will defintley be back!

Felt very welcomed even though my 2 year old toddler was making noise in the restaurant. The boss was really attentive and quickly brought a small glass of orange juice to my son to calm him down. Really appreciate that gesture. When I tasted the food, I could really feel it’s made with love and it’s definitely home cooked food. Thank you so much. An amazing and unique experience in a vegetarian vegan restaurant ❤️

The owner took a lot of time for us and put together a menu for us with different starters and main courses. It was fantastic.

Best place to have proper indian food. Ambience and treatment is also very good. Good place to go with family for evening.

Visited this place today... nice vibes, friendly owners. Food tastes like home made with love and affection. Customized food option available 😋 which was an added advantage. Must visit!!!

I recently dined at this Indian vegetarian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was inviting and the staff incredibly attentive. The menu offered a delightful array of flavorful dishes, each expertly prepared with fresh ingredients I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving an authentic and memorable culinary journey.

I recently visited a charming restaurant with unique decor and a friendly owner. The authentic dishes were delicious, though the portion sizes were a bit small. Overall, it was a lovely experience!

It’s so nice to eat here. Food has an authentic taste perfect for vegetarians.

Delicious food cooked while you wait . There was a wonderful friendly atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Bobby ( the owner) was delightful and very helpful when ordering .

A new experience for us - an authentic vegetarian Indian restaurant. Bobby is an excellent host advising and guiding you through the menu. To say the food is outstanding is not sufficient. A truly magnificent experience. Who needs meat and fish when vegetables of this quality are available

If your Indian you won’t like it here. If your white you might. Over priced and unauthentic. The bunny chow was supposed to come in special hollowed bread and instead I got a cheap Iceland burger bun and a tiny portion of paneer. For £10 I expected more. The kachori chaat was bland and overpriced. I really wanted to like it here but I felt ripped off!!! Music very dodgy too. I don’t mean to be cruel, but I’m offering feedback so you can improve more for Indian dinners.

Had a craving today for Dosa! Tried at chai station! I have to say taste is uptomark! Loved the dosa and masala chai! Would recommend to try indian food here.

Great place to have a authentic Indian food in Chester Amazing old music Grat. Staff Owners are credit to the profession. Thanks

Good place to have a Indian food in Chester run by Bobby. It's a vegitarian restaurent with variety of Indian dishes like chat, dosa, chai with old Hindi songs running in background

Absolutely delicious vegetarian Indian food served by the charismatic Bobby - we’ll be back for sure to explore more of the menu! (And we’ll put sugar in our chai this time ☺️) The food reminded us of Dishoom!

I was surprised to find it empty when we arrived at 9pm Friday night. But Bob catered for our every need and was delightful to be served by. He can recommend exactly what you need

Excellent choice of vegetarian/vegan dishes. Delicious authentic cuisine, and staff so friendly. We visited during a 2 night break, but would frequent this restaurant if we lived local.. Highly recommended.

Chai Station was everything i could have hoped it would be and more. A small, family run restaurant/cafe with owners that have a genuine passion for this food. The passion was evident in every dish. Pure authenticity and no pretention! I was whisked back to...

Great food, great atmosphere and amazing hospitality. Food came quickly and looked great. Definitely would come again.

Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff and prompt service - highly recommended :-) Added bonus - only a short walk from the station!

Bobby made us feel very welcome and was happy to walk through the menu and tailored the spice levels to our preference. The food was really good and, as frequent vegetarian Indian restaurant patrons, this was up there with the best.

Outstanding meal last night at Chai Station 😁

Absolutely lovely evening...superb host and brilliant food, along with it being byob We had 4 starters and 3 main courses - all super tasty, and even the vegetarian dishes were able to be made vegan (this was offered, we didn't even need to ask), and...

Excellent food. Indian gujarati feeling. I remembered porbandar in gujarat as he was from gujarat. I had paneer dosa which was excellent

The food was outstanding and Bobby was the most welcoming, wonderful host. We will definitely visit again when we're back in Chester

Absolutely amazing experience. Bobbi introduced himself and we asked for a selection of starters and a main of his choice. He brought out a selection of the most beautiful Indian food I have ever eaten and we left completely stuffed. Couldn’t recommend this place enough...

First time at Chai Station. Great homemade food with a warm & friendly welcome - will definitely be coming back. Prices very reasonable.

Delicious food friendly staff reasonably priced dishes and bring your own alcohol 😁

Ordered several dishes between us & it was all absolutely delicious, lovely service & great prices too

Went with my girlfriend, we had a great experience. Staff were amazing, welcoming and funny. The owner made us feel very welcome. Food was absolutely delicious. Would recommend anyone to try this place out!

Fantastic food. Well cooked and authentic. Lots of positive advice on what to order. Good to relax in a very vegan restaurant. The host, Bobby, is super friendly 😄.

We visited for our anniversary after seeing the great reviews. It was better than I expected!! The Punjabi Samosa was the best samosa I’ve tasted. A must visit.

Fantastic food from start to finish. The owner and staff were so friendly and very helpful on choosing dishes. Loved all the food and didn’t miss having meat at all. Homemade delicious curry 👌. Highly recommended. Pictures of samosa and poppadoms.

Warm welcome and authentic freshly cooked food which tasted amazing…first time for me but not the last!!

My wife and I visited with friends Friday 29th December as we all fancied a change of cuisine post Christmas, plus we’ve all been promising to visit Chai station ‘forever!’ and this was the ideal time. We weren’t disappointed. Bobby does front of house whilst...

What an amazing restaurant, we eat Indian food regularly but this was quite different Indian cuisine, Bobby talked us through the menu and gave us recommendations, everything we had was delicious, we only live in Hoole and can’t wait to go back, Bobby and his...

Absolutely excellent food, there were so many things on the menu that we could have ordered! Bobby is an excellent host and his food recommendations were spot on. Thank you very much!

Love the masala chai and Punjabi samosa...all the chats taste authentic...Gol gappa/Pani Puri is a must try here

Chai Station or Bobby's as we call it - after the exuberant and warm owner/host - is a dream for veggies who love curry. The thali is ace, the mixed starter is sublime (especially the green sauce), and juices are simply delicious. Throw in eclectic...

Great experience at Chai Station brook Street. Amazing Indian snacks. My all time go to whenever I feel like having food way back India.

Really nice owner, really nice food at affordable prices and good vibes

Outstanding flavours and so many new, different options. Went with a friend and shared the mixed starter which had a variety of dishes which all tasted great but what made it for me were the relishes and dips that came with it, they were superb....

Best Indian chats after a long long time, felt I transcended back to India. The tea reminds you about the chai tapari of India where u have nostalgic memories

Food was delicious and our non veggie friends enjoyed very much as well. Bobby was very friendly and his menu suggestions were great. Not too much food and excellent value. We enjoyed talking to Bobby and finding out about his eventful life. We didn’t notice...

Quirky little veg/an Indian restaurant on Brook St in Chester. Host, Bobby & family welcoming & friendly. Food was Excellent... So good we went back the next night too. Wish they'd come & open up in our town :)

Always come here when I’m Chester the food is top quality and excellent flavours. Bobby the owner us always so friendly. Highly recommend it.

Superb vegan Indian street cuisine - I couldn't rate this lovely restaurant highly enough!

Our first visit but definitely not the last. So many options to choose from - Bobby was very helpful, and able to accommodate my various allergies. Loved the Cauliflower pakora, and the Masala Dosa. So different from the usual Indian restaurant sauces and all the...

Best vegan Indian restaurant. A friendly service from Bobby, the Punjabi Samosas were some of the best I’ve tasted, this is how Indian food should be, the stuffed puri bread was divine. And for the first time ever we had a choice of not one but four cakes for desert, everything is labelled clearly as vegan. We had a perfect evening, thank you and keep up the good work.

We had heard about this place on the vegan grapevine and so made a purposeful trip on the way home after a day out at port sunlight and what a great decision. Super restaurant, brilliant customer service. We shared the samosas and cauliflower to start...

My girlfriend and I were visiting Chester for a couple days. Our shared love for Indian food and her being a vegetarian, we decided to try this little place. It did not disappoint! Great service and food from Bobby and his Wife. Affordable and delicious. The Chai tea was a must have as a palate cleanser! With some Puri of course!!! Would highly recommend! 5/5

Really nice cosy restaurant. the food was amazing. great friendly atmosphere. lots of vegan options even for dessert

Great location, friendly staff with authentic food! Can't wait to be back

Amazing food, proper authentic food, will totally recommend, will be back, owner couldn’t be more helpful….taken leftovers home it was that nice

Good time to spend with family and friends in the evening by having multiple choices of chat items.

This is my regular spot when I come to UK. Very good food. Good atmosphere. The cousine it covers is unique in Chester.

You can tell how good an Asian restaurant is by whether the local Asian community frequent it. Chai Station is a go too restaurant. Only serving Veg and Vegan food it's a rare find. No alcohol but you can take your own. All the food is prepared to order and we'll worth the short wait, 5 mins for us. The owner and waitress were both helpful when it came to choices, of which there are many, even carnivores will find many dishes they'll love. Eating out for less than £20 a head is rare these days, add food of this quality as well, you'll probably see a Dodo first. Many thanks, Nick.

Home away home is how I would describe the food at chai station! Food like my mum’s cooking and entertainment like my dad’s incharge. A must visit.

I picked this spot out as my girlfriend is from Punjab and a vegetarian so it seemed a perfect fit, as well as how positively it has been reviewed, and for good reason as I was to find out. The owner Bobby was warm and welcoming, and the overall layout created a cozy and family friendly environment. All the dishes are authentically Indian and span across multiple regions from Punjab to South India, the Punjabi Samosa in particular is a must try 👌 The waitress was kind and patient, as well as exceedingly helpful when it came to recommending dishes. The food was some of, if not the best Indian cuisine I have tasted, and at a very reasonable price. It was my first time at this establishment, but certainly not the last, and if you are looking for an authentic, well-priced Indian restaurant in Chester, look no further 🇮🇳
