Can’t really go wrong with a Chaiiwala. Quick stop for a lovely Karak Chaii. It was super busy so service was a bit slow and the floors were dirty and wet. Overall okay for a quick hot drink and snack.

I NEVER give google reviews as I have much better things to do, but yesterday’s interaction with the franchise owner - Rianna Hayat has prompted me to leave one. First of all, go visit the independent stores further down the road, who will value your business. Long story short, I ordered over £40 worth of food from a delivery app - I had two missing items. Instead of giving the restaurant a bad review and affecting their rating, I called up and was told if I came in store or rang up before ordering again I’d receive my items. Which is a pretty standard thing to do if something goes wrong in a high street store. I was shocked, after providing proof to the cashier and then speaking to the franchise owner on the phone. She refused to offer a reimbursement at all, which is beyond me as I’m a loyal customer to this branch. It seems a few items totalling £8 were were more to her than my repeat business. It is apparent somebody needs to take lessons in the psychology of running a business + providing good customer service. I guess the mass expansion of franchises has created a vacuum in which those who have no clue on how to run a business can solely rely on branding to get them clients. Won’t be visiting again

I tried Chaiiwala and ordered the Big Breakfast – Desi Indian Breakfast for £8.50. I chose two Classic Rotis, but they were quite thin. If you want a better mix, I’d suggest getting one Classic Roti and one Paratha to try both. We also had the Butter Chicken & Slaw Toast for £4.25, which was a nice mix of creamy butter chicken and fresh slaw. The food was good, and the service was friendly. The place had a nice atmosphere too. However, I felt the prices were a bit high for England. For example, I ordered an extra Roti, which cost £1.55—a bit pricey for just one piece of bread. Worth a visit if you're looking for a tasty Desi breakfast or a quick bite.

Ordered hula puri (i was a regular here) but they've reduced the portion of halwa (less than half full) no doubt in trying to save costs. There was only enough halwa for 1 paratha. very disappointed.

I LOVE Chaiwalla. I used to live in Camden and it was something I'd order on my treat days, it's my fave and I tell people about it all the time. But after yesterday evening, I will not be using this particular branch again. I ordered a veg kebab roll and loaded fries (veg). I'm a strict vegetarian. I ate the veg kebab roll and it tasted okay — I'd never had it before and thought it was a very good fake meat alternative, like lots of chains are doing nowadays e.g McDonalds meat-free burger. Then I ate the loaded fries, but realised the veg kebab topping on the fries was different to what was in the wrap. Reread the descriptions. It should be the same thing. Turns out they gave me a meat wrap, not sure which one :( This wasn't the first mistake they made but the other one was fine, they just didn't give me a coffee I ordered, I saw other people getting theirs straight away, and I had to remind them a couple times. Whatever. But giving a meat option to a vegetarian because of negligence is horrible, and I ate it without realising. Have felt sick ever since, probably just from the fact I've been vegetarian for 10 years now and this happens. Check your order notes.

I placed an order through Uber eats and half of the order was missing. Called the Uber driver thinking maybe he’s given me someone else’s order but he came back and confirmed he only had one order from chaiwala. I then called chaiwala and spoke to their supervisor (Esha) who tried to blame the driver and said she packed my order herself.. very disappointed as it cost me so much and I didn’t even get the food. There was nothing she could but was happy for me to leave this review, her excuse was that they’re very busy. It’s a joke.

Today 28 Nov 2024 prior to my appointmenti I stopped at chaiwala. Orderd Big breakfast. Having full Loaded bf with paratha and chana etc . It was big disappointment .paratha was neither paratha nor poori. Unhealthy frozen white crispy so called paratha was made with Meda unlike real paratha which is made with wholemeal grain . Chana had strange taste aswell as cold . I honestly think they need to be honest with consumers. Their tea is ok. God bless the customers.

Tried to place an order over the phone as I was really short on time. Lady refused to accept the order unless it was a take away. I explained I'm running late but she wasn't interested, promised me it will be really fast as they weren't busy. I got there 5 mins later and it still took 15 minutes to prepare the first part of my order. The rest came a few minutes later. Wasn't quick at all :-( Not sure why she couldn't just take the order as other chaiwala branches do!

I've been ordering from this place for years now. Occasionally I try elsewhere when eating at friends houses locally, and it's no where near as good. The food is always delivered hot. The ingredients are fresh, and the dishes delicious. Way better value than most other options as well. Order from their own website. I was surprised to see their rating slip slightly. It makes me think it's the competition playing games. By far the best place in town. I think once you try you will never leave them. They've never let me down ever. Fantastic every single time.
