Chaiwalla in Bath and North East Somerset

Awesome food. Very tasty, reasonably priced and friendly service.

Rocked up to Chai Walla on a Friday with the sun shining, I’ve been meaning to go for some time now. It did not disappoint, value for money is always important, and for £7.50, I’m stuffed. The Onion Bhaji wrap was very tasty, definitely be brave and get the chilli sauce because it levelled the wrap. The man behind the counter was very friendly and helped generate a community buzz to the place which I liked personally. Would recommend :)

Excellent food, really tasty at a great price. Give it a go you won't be disappointed. 🙏

THE BEST! So friendly and fun, generous and tasty. A little chaotic and that adds to the fun. And the food is DELICIOUS! Soooooo good. Don't miss the samosas or the chai.

The smell is almost impossible to ignore! Just tried an onion bhaji wrap and samosa. It was excellent. Fresh, authentic and utterly delicious

Always friendly and great food, I always look for value and this place gives it. Came here after cinema with gf and had a nice chat.

Foods decent but lacks spice. Other than that quick service and good portions.

great taste and great value for money! the all mixed wrap is like almost 2 meals for me. recommend the chilli sauce too.

It’s a small shop around the corner. Onion bhaji wrap is famous, don’t expect authentic Indian taste, however, for the price and quality it justifies. Taste is decent.. you can take your order and find place to sit near the bench…

Excellent service when busy at bank holiday. Great surroundings. Would live to go in the evening

I could not walk past this lovely nook of joy. I went for the Falafel wrap with samosa. It was so good that even a cheeky seagull tried to steal it! Thankfully I was holding on tight. Yum yum yum

Excellent all round. Partner and I shared "All in wrap" and "All in curry" both were excellent. Gentlemen working were efficient, friendly and funny. Well done.

Great food, unfortunatly let down by the crazy quewing/service. Please instigate a deli ticket system/take payment on order and run a ticket system so food comes out in a sensible and gfair order.

This is the best food I’ve ever had. I’ve been thinking about this place since I’ve had it in 2019 and nothing comes close.

Absolute top geezer, delicious food.

Delicious chai and tasty samosas and wraps. I was so pleased to find this on the first afternoon of my holiday I continued to enjoy a chai each day and food from there for the rest of my stay. Thank you Chai Walla :-)

Long time ago we went to this beautiful place, the food was wonderful as were the friendly people who run this place. Couldn't recommend it more 👍👍👍

Magic food and great vibes. Perfect after work remedy!

After all the hype, the falafel wrap, although good was actually a let down. The salad and sauces were too diluted and the falafel too hard. I would have just expected more. Service was great though!

Great place. Everything made fresh, so need to wait a little, but so worth it!

THE BEST THING I’VE EVER EATEN. This is incredible, paid £8.50 for a chickpea curry with extra onion Bhaji. Didn’t just get one, got about 6 small Bhaji’s. But the taste on the curry is incredible! This might be the best place to eat in Bath full stop! Although there’s no seating, well worth a stop for the best curry you will ever eat. Couldn’t applaud this place enough, great price even better food, incredible value for money! What a hidden gem! Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff too! Not a single thing you could improve.

Delicious food , fast service, great atmosphere! Would recommend and return

Had an amazing mixed wrap and samosa, very tasty and a good size. Ed did a good job wrapping it too thanks for that :)

The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with the aromatic blend of chai and delightful menu offerings, creates a memorable dining experience. The attentive service and cozy ambiance make it a perfect spot to unwind and savor authentic flavors. Chaiwala truly captures the essence of a delightful culinary journey through the world of chai.

Delicious, affordable vegan food. Bath is okay for vegan options, but nothing beats going into a restaurant knowing you can eat anything. Technically, this feels more like a fancy street food stall- it's in a tiny shop that just about fits the counter, and you wait/eat outside. There are limited options, but they're excellent choices that you know the staff have perfected; I had a falafel wrap (deep fried! Very different from supermarket falafels) that was well portioned and created with care. I'm interested in trying their other options. While you won't get a comfortable dine-in experience, if you're looking for quality vegan options on the go this may be a good choice for you. The staff are lovely, too.

The most affordable and least desirable Indian food in Bath. My wife is from India and we make a lot of home cooked foods. We both decided that the food tasted more like Mexican than Indian. It’s filling tho and good if you’re on a budget. Overall would not recommend.

God Niraj is a handsome bloke, helps the food is good too

Fairly cheap, filling, taste great

Here whenever I’m in Bath, bloody amazing food.

This is what street food is all about, we had the mixed wrap which was onion bhaji and falafel in a salad wrap and a samosa with chai tea it was delicious

Chickpea curry is fantastic! Makes a great lunch

Very good quality food and hygiene and very polite staff members their samosas are very tasty with thier special sauces

Absolutely incredible food. Super friendly staff. Top notch street food ✨

Honestly the food is such great value! Tastes amazing and the staff are great !! A must have for visitors and locals

Amazing food, my favourite is the onion bajji wrap. Very good menu options. Lovely staff always a lovey atmosphere and very genuine food. Proper seasoning and bursting with flavour. Mango chutney is to die for, i even got a homemade jar of it for my house. Open moderately late, super good.

Samosas are amazing and service great employees very nice

Amazing, well seasoned food and lovely staff!

Incredible food and extremely friendly staff. We aren't local to Bath but we make the time to come here anytime we can for the incredible food and atmosphere of the square.

Never had Indian food before and this is a great place to get your first taste. Very good, very nice

Stunning food every single time! So fresh and tasty. 100% recommend to both locals and tourists.

My absolute favourite food in Bath, delicious. The wraps are my favourite but the boxes are also great.

The best samosas and wraps in the UK

John is a calm and very polite person…. He cooked us samosa and alot of things it was my first time in bath and i was happy to visit chai walla

Delicious food, super friendly owner. Sit outside in the lovely square and enjoy. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

I love this place! Cheap, cheerful and delicious. My go to is the onion bhaji wrap, samosa and chai. Only thing is the young boy services me every time, hope he’s getting decent pay!

Super friendly owner and really nice staff. Samosas are banging and the chai is the loud. 10/10 will be coming back soon

The tastiest place to eat in bath:))) amazing quality price ratios and the crew is super nice!! My top recommendation in this city

Found this through Google reviews. Had Bhaji Wrap was tasty loved the tangy Chai. Staff nice and friendly cool vibes

Incredible foood and service will be back thank you Jon for the kind service and food.

Cute place lovely staff and tasty food. Loved the samosas and bhajis

Absolutely amazing place. Ordered a falafel wrap and samosa combo. Falafel and samosa was cooked fresh in front of me and NOT from a Bain-Marie or microwave. The wrap was full of freshness and flavour, so to was the samosa. The service was great. Proper conversation while I waited. Absolutely lovely staff. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10

Visited Bath for the weekend and stumbled upon Chaiwalla. Delicious falafel and bhaji wrap with a samosa - definitely recommend for a quick lunch in Bath.

The boy at the counter acted disgustingly with my mother when she talked with him. He said he'll take 15 min to prepare tea which is absurd. Not only that , my mother joked how It takes 2-3 for us Pakistanis to prepare tea on which he was like go and make it yourself then Extremely rude and unwelcoming behaviour by the guy with absolutely no etiquette. Should be fired immediately

We went here because of all the great reviews but it was just.. alright. The onion bhaji wrap was served in what looked and tasted like a store bought tortilla, and there wasn't a whole lot of filling. The samosa was pretty good but potato heavy. I was expecting something special for that price but left entirely underwhelmed.

Amazing street food for a great price! Wish they opened a restaurant.

Don't try the tea (chai) here. Better try a glass of water, it might taste better. ;)

Don't try tea (chai) here. Better try a glass of water. It might taste better 😋. A microwave tea tastes better.

Wonderful, freshly cooked food. Quickly prepared while you briefly wait. Best samosa I’ve ever eaten. Loved the chai too. We’ll definitely return!

Fully vegetarian and fully delish. Bhaji wrap (which comes with a samosa too) was spot on as a mid afternoon pick us up snack for two.

And good prices. Local tasty and vegetarian. The staff are lovely, food always fresh,music great. I work around the corner and treatmyself to lunch here at least once a week.

Literally everything here is great. The service was brill, super kind staff - and as always, great food. 5 stars, no flaws.

A wonderful find! Great food at a fair price. The portions were very generous and the staff pleasant.

Tasty chai, good location, friendly and helpful staff!

Flavourful, filling and fresh hot food. The service is always pleasant and friendly, even when they're very busy.

Really yummy and fair priced food, and a regular place for me to get takeout.

Good service and great food. Recommend the samosa's.

The owner is not only the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, but the food is amazing too. Best takeaway lunch you’ll get in Bath. Get samosas with your order and thank me later.

Fantastic, fresh and tasty vegan Indian street food as well as delicious non-dairy chai, chutneys and sea moss. Niraj and his team are full of energy and always served efficiently and with a smile! Really good value too.

Ordered a samosa chat and got a box full of soup/liquid with a broken down samosa and pakora floating in it. When questioned the staff took offense and behaved aggressively. While I was the Indian and they thought they knew better. Worst was yet to come, ordered a desi tea which they said would take 15 minutes and gave me hope, my my my when the tea finally came after 25 minutes it was the worst £3.50 i have ever spent, it was just hot water topped up with oat milk and tasted like raw vomit. To the owners please train your staff as I don't think its their fault they don't know how to cook the right way and please help them improve their manners. PS: one good thing were the claimed home made samosa's which were super tasty. I wish i had just ordered a lot of them instead of the garbage i got served.

Eten was best lekker, samosas waren erg lekker en smaakvol. Verder leuke tent de chickpea curry was wel wat minder

Despite the lack of leg room in this eye catching, humble and quaint little shop, the service and quality of its food made up for its small stature. The falafel and bhaji wraps were divine and bursting with flavour, the mango chutney sealed the deal, creating a wrap like no other, and the complimentary Samosa was the cherry on the top. Side note … if you haven’t tried onion bahjii before, we highly recommend…! At first we were weary but once the succulent taste hit our mouths we were thoroughly delighted.

It's a joke ! The staff were clearly from a different continent, had memorised some easy-fix recipes & gave it names of Indian dishes ! The masala was runny & lacked taste ! The onion bhaaji was a big clump of nonsense ! The chai - oh dear - was coloured luke-warm water ! PLEASE DON'T EAT here - go 250 Mtrs ahead near Roman bath to a more authentic Indian restaurant.

Friendly and helpful staff Wrap was fine and reasonably priced Wrap should be heated Since falafel and bhajis lack herbs/spices or salt, chutney is really the only flavor that come through.

NOT INDIAN, NOT AUTHENTIC, NOT GOOD - the staff are not Indian & don't know about the dishes either, did not know how to prepare authentic Indian street food, mixed a bit of this & that & gave it Indian names ! PLEASE DON'T EAT HERE - not worth the risk !!

I'd heard good reports about Chai Walla and I wasn't disappointed by the Samosa Chaat. Definitely recommended.

Delicioso! El “All in one box” debería ser reconocido por la unesco, es simplemente fabuloso 👌🏻 Un poquitín de todo con una explosión de sabor en el paladar, ufff. Preparan muchos de los componentes al momento, todo sabe fresco y auténtico. Definitivamente para regresar!

Decent food. Really small with no seating, except outside benches. Reasonable prices. Hard working guys behind the counter. Good fast food.

Très bon et bien nourrissant pour un prix abordable. Les samoussas sont délicieux et la garniture des wraps est frite juste avant d'être emballée.

We needed a quick snack during our tour of Bath and bought samosas. They were large with not too spicy filling and served with a choice of sauces. Some of the best I've eaten including those served in restaurants. The Indian and Romanian guys serving were very friendly. There are a number of benches on the square where you can sit and enjoy your snack. Definitely worth trying and I'll definitely be back.

Samosa were good. They sprinkled some masala on it. I'd have preferred without it. Chai was just fine.

Great little hole in the wall :)

Super delicious falafel wrap and a very tasty seasoned samosa. Friend and chatty staff. Unfortunately the food is so good that word has got around in the seagull community and half my wrap got swiped, so watch out.

CHAIWALLA 42 Monmouth St, Bath BA1 1EN Average spend for lunch : £6 - £10 pp During our visit to Bath .. we had a friend who was vegetarian and we all wanted to snack at same place at a reasonable price We stumbled upon CHAIWALLA it's a smal joint in the heart of the city .. No place to sit indoors.. only takeaway.. The place was busy and was operated by a single member of staff which was a bit surprising.. but I believe owner was trying to save cost on manpower and may be happy to lose business in attempt to save cost .. dealing through the work pressure and orders coming in through one after the other the staff member served everyone with a smile and managed to have a short conversation.. during which I was made aware about the history of the place I ordered onion bhajiya wrap and my friend ordered chickpeas curry and rice ... The food was delicious I would highly rated this family run business serving the tastiest food at reasonable prices..

Found it on TripAdviser and had lunch here. Very friendly guy working there and we had some enjoyable interaction. The food was very good and reasonably priced

This isn't one of those ridiculous "best food ever" / "worst..." you get the drift. It was 'ok'. The Samoa chat was much too watery. Substantial lack of any depth to the flavour of the channa massala. But samosas and pakora excellent. Oh. And ask them to go easy on the chutney.

An incredible place to eat. Delicious.

Best place in town to grab some quick food, perfect to sit and eat on a bench outside on a sunny day. Onion bhaji wrap is a personal favourite. Will always take our visitors here and everyone love it.

This place is great! The onion bhaji wraps (excuse my spelling) are cheap, flavorful, extremely filling and can be spicy for some people (I didn’t feel much spice, my friend looked like he’d just gotten off a hot ones episode). The samosas are great! They’re quite spicy and pretty huge! There really isn’t a good place to sit outside, at least there wasn’t when we visited, and the restaurant of course doesn’t have any seats. The staff is friendly and great at recommending items in case of confusion. Also, everything is vegetarian.

Cheap and cheery. The crust of the samosa is perfectly crispy. The "everything in it" wrap is a winner. Pros: Fully vegan Cons: Weather dependent as far a seating is concerned

Amazing food and gigantic portions for such a low price! Staff were very friendly. Would definitely return

Simply sublime! Had a falafel wrap & samosa. The samosa was the best I've ever tasted. Crispy light batter that melted in your mouth with a generous, tasty filling. The falafel was moist & not dry like many. Dressed with fresh salad & chilli sauce. The wrap was amazing! (I read a comment about someone's food not being warm. Ours was freshly cooked & both falafel & samosa were hot). I wished I lived local & not just on holiday. I'd be a regular customer without a doubt. I'm from Birmingham, known for its South Asian cuisine. I've still never enjoyed food as delicious as this. Well done Chao Walla!! A definite recommendation & a must when visiting Bath.

We had a tea from here and the taste was horrible. these guys are setting very worst experience of a tea. They even don’t know how to make tea it seems & neither know the original taste of tea. Few other people have shared the same experience when we were having these worst tea taste experience. Please ignore them they don’t have things and taste as expected.

Update from 2023, still tastes great, had the All in wrap. Tasty and quick, reasonably priced as well. Staff are friendly and helpful. Is small so don't be put off waiting if the queue is out of the door.

At a reasonable price, this place offered me a delectable and fully satiating takeaway lunch. It was wrapped in a way that made it very easy to eat on the go without bits of food falling off. Even though they do accept card payments, there is an ATM just on the right.

Delicious street food cooked fresh before your eyes. Best samosa I’ve ever eaten. Tried Onion bhaji wrap and falafel wrap. Near Boston Tea Party.

What a find! This was a great little takeaway, we ordered the samosas which were excellent, it was busy, but that's the point: it's popular because it's great. Very attentive staff, homemade food, top quality and would definitely return when I'm in bath next.

Pretty average . If you r an indian looking for indian style street food, this is not the place. samosas and bhajjis felt like from sainsbury

Everything is tasty but the samosas are on a whole other level. Changed samosas for me forever

I found this place when I first moved to Bath and it certainly kept me alive!! I’ll get to the food but man the service??? They are so sweet! I could have a full hour conversation with the workers and they would still, somehow, end up making the best chickpea curry I’ve EVER had. Charming little place with lovely moments and amazing food waiting inside! Seriously can’t recommend this place enough x
