Absolutely loved this place! The food was excellent, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The staff were really helpful, especially when it came to ordering and explaining the menu. And the karak chai, Hands down the best I’ve had in the UK. Highly recommend!

What a gem! Easily the best chai place I have ever been to. Chaiiwala is my go-to spot for a cup of chai and pastries! Their pistachio milk cake is a must try! The front staffs were very friendly and nice, and helps you choose what you want if you're unsure. It’s the perfect spot for a cozy break.

This place has my heart.The vibe is super chill, perfect for hanging out with mates or just chilling by yourself. The chai is to die for—so rich and full of flavor, just the way it should be. Plus, the staff are really friendly and always have great snack suggestions to go with your drink. If you love chai or are just curious, you’ve got to check this place out!

Ordered the butter chicken roll, and masala chips, food was bang on complimented with the tea. Price wasnt expensive either, was well impressed. It was very busy at the time but i guess thats what happens at lunch time, but quickly got a seat and the food came out shortly after. Customer service was good to, they bought the food to our table, and was also asked if everything was ok as the staff cleaned up. Recommended by many of my friends to try Chai Wala nottingham, and it lived up to its 'hype' will definatly pop in again, been advised to try the breakfast next time from there, and its available all day

Horrendous service from staff members. Took around 15 minutes to get a falooda for it to be the wrong size (there were at least 3 or 4 staff members). When I eventually got my drink it had no ice cream just drink with cream? Come on charging £5.30 for a falooda with no ice cream is daylight robbery. I’ve been here before for tea and it’s always cold. Avoid!! (Also from the looks of it the owner is only acknowledging and replying to the positive reviews. Please don’t ignore the negative feedback as you can learn from them)

I asked for a biscoff milkcake n got it a after 30 sec of paying and she told its fresh , after having a lil bit of it , it tested so unusual and oldish cake , i asked to change it to a fresh one n then she brought another one after leaving it in a microwave for a bit just to make it look fresh. But it was disgusting!!

Unfortunately had the same level of expectation as we always had in Birmingham. But to our utter disappointment, from Karak Chai to the Samosa chat and even the mini donuts tasted like if they were prepared in an oil that was not used but abused to the limit. The samosa chat had some terrible unpleasant taste making me and my wife throw up when we got home. Extremely disappointed. Never coming back.

I am beyond disappointed at the way the staff are always on their phones, as soon as my turn came to order at the till I see the girl on her phone, looked up at me & said ‘Hi, how can I help?’ Whilst on her phone still. Took my order & went back on her phone straight away before going to the kitchen to give them my order. Another thing would be the Chaii, gosh I am more than pissed at the fact that the Chaii is always watery, never brewed as it should be & coming to a place like this I would’ve expected better quality Chaii to be honest. I’ve been to Chaiiwala in Derby, Birmingham, Leicester, London, Essex & Peterborough and none of them even had fault as much as this one does. I asked to speak to the manager and was told manage isn’t present so ‘she’ll inform him once he’s back’. Very disappointing to say the least.

I ordered almost everything off the menu. All of the food had a similar smell/taste, tasted as though the chef hadn't washed their hands. I actually gagged and had to throw all of it away. Oh, the worst part is they reply to their views and pretend like they care. They don't. They replied to my review asking me to email them. When I did, they ignored me and I got no reply.

We went for a chai date, the atmosphere was an absolute mess. It was too congested. We had to request for the table cleaning and the waiter didn’t bother to clean it properly. People were smoking in and out and it and the place was smelling of smoke. We got karak chai and Chai latte which were both very nice. Will recommend for their chai but not the atmosphere.

The staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about making sure you have a great time.

I was sick for a couple days and i was advised to take bland food and my friend suggested to order desi india breakfast from chaiwalla. So i ordered roti and daal but my entire was given wrong which had too many spicy stuff. Upon reporting this to the store one of the girls at the store promised me to remake the order whenever i arrive at the store. Today when i called the store to inform that i'd be coming in to collect the order the entire staff at the store declined the incident ever happening and I was treated very poorly. I had just taken one bite of the wrong food sent to me and lung infection has been aggravated. I was hospitalised yesterday due to the mishap made by their team. This is highly unprofessional and no regards for the customer's health. Upon explaining my concerns, the girl responded it's not our fault if the delivery guy took the wrong order. How is it not your fault ? It should be your responsibility to check if the correct order is been sent out. As you can clearly see what i had ordered and what was given to me. I've attached pictures. Upon asking the name of the person who addressed, she refused to give her name. She was mean and condescending

La comida estaba frita y una vez que la pusieron, la rociaron con más aceite y la cocinaron en microondas durante 10 minutos. Gasté 25 libras en el desayuno para 2 personas y tuve que comer con cubiertos desechables de madera! Y mientras cortaba mis crujientes salchichas quemadas y tortilla de masala quemada, ¡mi plato seguía girando! Una experiencia muy desagradable para mí emocional y físicamente, ya que ciertamente tendré enfermedad arterial coronaria ahora. ¡Este lugar puede ser la verdadera razón por la que los asiáticos del sur tienen más ataques al corazón!

Small cafe, mostly popular for their tea (chai) and Indian street food. The taste varied. We liked our kebab roll but the samosa chaat didn't meet our expectations! The aroma of keema (that comes with Roti and Paratha) was rather pungent! But, I guess you receive what you pay for. The food came in unique wrapping paper and bag.

As the front of house memeber of staff is in the back doing stuff. A bell at the front might be a good idea to alert thaem That a customer is waiting. Toilets are rubbish as never any toilet paper when I go/ take my little girl. The floors are gross. The tables never get wiped after customers. The memebers of staff are nice and welcoming.

The young girl at the counter asks ‘are you eating in or out’, either way your food and drinks come in takeaway paper and disposable cups. Every table and chair in here needs a wipe, the floor needs sweeping as does the entrance to the shop. The bench top is dusty. I dare not go into the toilet. As soon as the young lady finishes serving me she jumps back on her phone until I ask for a napkin and mention that all the tables need a wipe. She wipes one table, serves some people and now she’s back on her phone. I know that I should expect less I am in Hyson Green after all. But if the state of the shop is kept in such a lack lustre way, what is the kitchen like, is that ever cleaned or is it worse? Best not to think about it less I loose my omelette wrap. As the lovely light installation loses bulbs that aren’t replaced it just adds to the sadness and cheapness of the place. The metal chairs are rusting and really grating on the ears when people drag them across the floor. Once I forget how tatty the place is I’ll come back because the Chai is nice but it’ll be a few years at least. And although vegan chai is on the menu they don’t do it and can’t be bothered to cross it off the menu!
