Great café with a cozy atmosphere! The coffee is rich, and the menu offers a good variety of snacks and pastries. Staff is friendly and service is prompt. Perfect spot for relaxing or catching up with friends. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place!

Only gave one star as I couldn’t give less. The mango lassi had a spider in it. After talking to one staff he acknowledged it was a spider, said that it must have fallen in from the storage area and agreed that we shouldn’t have to pay for it. A short while later when we went to pay he had run off ‘conveniently’ and left someone else to take our payment instead. This guy didn’t understand the situation and we ended up paying the £6 for the lassi. Really shocked we how disgustingly we were treated even though they admitted they were in the wrong and like a coward hiding behind in the back just to make £6 from us. Please avoid as they clearly don’t care about customer service or basic food hygiene. Will also be reporting to Trading Standards.

Review for Chaska Chai We drove all the way to Birmingham for a family outing, hoping to enjoy some quality time together over a desi breakfast. After some search, we found Chaska Chai for a desi breakfast. This place did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, Chacha Jee greeted us with such warmth and kindness that we instantly felt at home. The food was delicious: halwa puri, tarka saag, haleem… chai to name a few dishes —just the kind of authentic flavors we were craving—but what really made our brunch special was Chacha Jee himself. His friendliness and genuine care turned a good meal into a great experience. If you’re in the mood for tasty food and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Chaska Chai. It’s definitely worth the drive!

Food was ok. Not bad. Service was good too very attentive waiters. Decor inside was. Price wise I would say very expensive price ranged around £9 per dish. Toilets were absolutely unsanitary and smelt of urine. Very unpleasant to use.

We went for breakfast today Sunday 18th Feb 2024 and ordered a Desi breakfast and English breakfast and the food had no taste to it and found it to be over priced for what it was. My son accidently spilled his drink and I asked the waiter for a mop and even offered to clean it up myself, he did not say anything but his behaviour was rude towards us... however the older uncle I think he possibly is the owner or manager of this place was really helpful even replaced the drink for free of charge and said these things happen when young kids are involved and not to worry. The only positive think about today was this gentleman who had good customer service but since my last visit 6 months ago the place has definitely gone downhill.

The waiter was nice and attentive and the food was ok but nothing special, wanted to eat a chicken karahi but was told they have no chicken so had to settle for lamb karahi, left around 7.30 and still the place was completely empty apart from the 2 people who came after us

The combination of the paratha and omelette was absolutely delicious. The crispy and flaky paratha perfectly complemented the fluffy and flavorful omelette. The richness of the eggs and the savory spices in the paratha created a mouthwatering harmony of flavors. It was truly a delightful and satisfying meal.

V bad .... I visited around 6 pm several days ago with my family. The order was taken by the waiter and after that he disappeared. When it was a long time to be there , I saw the same waiter was coming to take orders from a new customer. Then I asked him what the matter was(because it's been a long time since I was here, even no water was provided). And I was shocked when he replied to me. He said , "Sir sorry for everything, In fact there is no chef available in the restaurant at the time and I am the only person here and I am cooking the food by myself that you ordered. I don't know about others but I am sharing my experience as I am residing in Coventry and went to Birmingham for food. And when we were leaving the place , the chef was coming in and he just passed the smile and ignored my complaint.

Im a big supporter of local small businesses but our first ever experience here, sadly was not a good one. I wanted a place to take my wife and kids to have lunch and this place caught my eye driving past. We sat down and order wasn't taken until 20 minutes of sitting at our tables. Finally once ordered we was waiting another 30 minutes and felt I should ask how long and was told 2-3 more minutes. The old man (who I think is the owner) was very rude towards his staff who felt they had had enough from being bossed around. I asked the waiter how long is the food going to be and the boss walked over and told him to stop chatting and get back to cleaning tables. Eventually after another 20 minutes I had to leave as the service was appalling and the food hadn't arrived. The old man couldn't care less and just charged us for the orange juice we drank and let us go out the door. What a complete waste of time. Maybe he should retire and let someone else run this for him as I genuinely do believe their food looked quite good.

The food is very underwhelming, order the paya for myself not at all sticky. My wife had the samosa chat which had no samosa. One child had fried egg breakfast with no butter on the toast. The second had a omelette which I requested not to be spicy and it made my eye water. The service is very poor asked for water for the children was told twice that only bottled water was available, snickered at for asking for tap water none available. The tea was fine not worth what I paid. The plates are clearly old some chip others black marks. Paid £30 for this utter joke. The only saving grace the venue was it was relatively empty.

Chaska and Chai is a delightful food place that offers a memorable culinary experience. The standout dish here is undoubtedly their flavorful tawa creations. The enticing aroma and taste of the tawa dishes are truly remarkable. The restaurant's ambiance is cozy, creating a perfect setting for a satisfying meal. The menu offers a decent variety, with the tawa options stealing the show. Service is prompt and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Prices are reasonable for the quality and taste they offer. Chaska and Chai is a must-visit for anyone seeking delicious tawa-based cuisine in a comfortable atmosphere.

The nihari and paratha were absolutely delicious, providing a delightful burst of flavours that left me thoroughly satisfied. The chanay and halwa were equally impressive in terms of their deliciousness. However, I must admit that the puris were too dry and flaky.

The lassi is made fresh unlike many other venues which was a refreshing change and the karak was also tasty I dined alone as a young woman, it was one of the few places that feels comfortable to do so unlike many other venues in the area. I also took away some samosa chaat which was very tasty.

Travelled from london for a family event and made sure to pit stop for some brekkie at this place, and, what an absolutely diabolical, filthy and unacceptable experience it was. From the offset, the manager / owner was very unwelcoming asking us wait over 15 mins to be seated when the restaurant was half empty (claiming all tables are booked), he then tried to make two of us sit on a single persons table! And then with a family leaving we were moved to that table. We then Waited another period of time before the food was bought to us. NOW NOTE: since we sat down at this table, NO ONE had even bothered to clean the table after the previous customers and instead they had the audacity to bring our food expecting us to eat with all the present dirty plates and dirty table. I had words with waiter who the apologised and retuned with a couple of tissues in an attempt to clean the table but instead smudged all the dirt everywhere. After some more words, he returned with a spray and some more tissues, and now, after some DIY cleaning … the table was finally decent enough to have food on. So we began eating our food. We ordered … Halwa, Channa, Paya, Samosa Chaat and Naans. Firstly the Naans we ok, they seemed nice, fresh hot and decent. But unfortunately … that’s where it all stops and it goes downhill from here. The Channa were cold, bland, tasteless and the gravy wasn’t fully cooked. It seemed as if they ran out of gravy so added some water and reheated the dish. The Paya was cold and the gravy was thick and more like a nihari gravy rather than what you would expect a Paya gravy to be like. The Halwa was very oily, not to sweet which was nice, but cold and oily isn’t what I would serve Halwa as. But we were hungry and angry, tired and now running late to attend a family event, so decided rather waste the food let’s just eat. So we did. Well at least for about 2-3 minutes before we found hairs (yes NOT 1 but several) in the Paya Gravy. Not just any hair, dark black curly pubic style hairs mixed with some brown hairs So I immediately called the waiter who noticing the amount of hairs apologised and said he would change the dish. But by now enough was enough, so asked him to take it back to the chef and cancel the item from our bill, and bill us up. We were not going to finish the food as we were now put off the food totally. Most people would have simply walked out the restaurant without paying, but knowing the waiter was being pressured by the boss and fearing he may lose his job, we decided to pay the bill minus the Payas. We then refused to have the rest of the food packed for takeaway. If I am not willing to eat that unhealthy, unhygienic food. Then why will I pack it up .. I wouldn’t even feed that to a Dog. We then went to pay and noticed the boss run up to waiter, whisper something into the waiters ear and then head off upstairs to the office area. Upon paying and taking my receipt I realised they didn’t remove, but instead charged me in full for the Hairy Payas. As I had now already been tricked into paying, so I asked how this had happened. The staff replied it was the bosses call, and that the waiter was simply following instruction. I asked to speak with the boss but was told he is in the toilet. Now the hairy Paya dishes were less than £10 each but it was the bloody principle here that if items should have removed, then remove term. Do not pretend to remove and trick the customer into paying. The boss was in the loo for over 10-15 minutes and then we were advised he had left to pray. Which basically meant he ran away after instructing his waiter to de-fraud us from my money. We were now running very late for a family event so decided just to not cause a scene and waste time and just leave, and expose this low life scum who shouldn’t be in-charge of any eatery, by leaving a fully informed review. So If you wish for a clean environment, fresh food and good ambience. Then STAY AWAY. If however you enjoy cold, oily and full of hair food served on dirty tables with previous customers plates and mess still present, then you’ll love this place ❤️. And remember, be prepared for the boss to defraud you of your money 💰 even if it’s just a penny. Because that all his mindset is worth.

We went to Chaska and chaii today for lunch. We had chicken saag karahi and lamb karahi, the food was delicious we really enjoyed it and kids. so have to rate them on that. But have got to say the service and wait was absolutely dreadful and the staff were so un-attentive and slow. Had to repeatedly call them and ask them how long the wait would be. we went at 1.30 and our order wasn't taken till around 2.15 and then food arrived just around 3ish that to as i nagged and asked for it to be quick. Service and wait time is very bad and there is no structure in place. The atmosphere was lovely but it was extremely busy. Husband wanted Puri and chole but by the time we was served they had stopped serving it as apparently after 1.30 they don't do puri chole.

Service is an absolute joke. The old man [front of house] didn't really care, waited over 10 minutes before we got menus, and an hour before we got our food. The waiter hardly spoke any English, and when asked for anything, he would acknowledge it and would not bring what was asked. Food was less than mediocre, halwa puri and channa weren't the best 4/10, the nihari was 7/10, on completion of the meal we wanted to take the remainder meal out but we was told we don't do take away. Wouldn't personally go there again unless the front of house was changed to someone who knows what they are doing instead of piling people in and making them stand untill a seat is available, customer service skills definitely need fixing, far better place to eat on the ladypool road like taste of pakistan.

I am thoroughly disappointed with Atmosphere on a Saturday. The place was completely empty, devoid of any atmosphere or liveliness. I ordered two teas for takeout, and the experience was excruciatingly slow, taking even longer than Royal Mail's delivery. The tea was disgustingly sweet and tasted like sugar water, and to top it off, the flimsy cups resulted in the entire beverage spilling on me. The staff was equally disappointing, lacking any personality or charm. I found it easier to converse with my cat than the lifeless and unsmiling staff. The whole experience left me feeling let down and dissatisfied.

Where to start! This place is amazing when it comes to customer service and even more so the food is amazing !!! The Nihari is the best we have ever had out. The prathas again so authentic not these frozen Shan ones like everywhere else. The plates always come out warmed. The milk for the tea again comes out warm and fresh tasting The quality of the chappli kabab is also amazing and so juicy!! Honestly I can’t recommend this place enough. We drive 20 miles with a toddler to come here and it never disappoints. Thankyou to all the waitering staff and the owner who is so humble and always on hand to help. May your business blossom in sha allah and Thankyou again for a lovely plate of food. Jzk

Overrated tawa grill. Rice were old didn't even take a bite. Chops weren't cooked properly and the service was very poor. Told the waitress about the food and all I got back was that 'I will let the chef know' Never again

Fantastic food, great choice of vegetarian dishes & excellent service. We have been regulars here for 18 years and they have never let us down. Take your own drinks or use the cocktail bar.

My friends chose to try this restaurant out has its new to this area and we like to check new ones out for ourselves and family.Because this restaurant does not do alcohol you are allowed to bring your own in.We were greeted at the door with a smile and taken to our table.we loved the relaxed atmosphere and the beautiful flowing blossom down the middle of the restaurant with matching lilies all the way round the room,this made for a relaxed evening. The waiter took our order for poppadoms and later our order for starters,mains,rice and nan.They came and checked on us to make sure everything was OK and that we didn't need anything more.Food was delicious from start to finish.Desserts were offered which some of us had and then coffees with mint choclate.A lovely evening and was seen out by staff also with a pleasant smile 😃. I also noticed that they did do mock cocktails 🍸 and none alcohol wines or grape drinks which is great to know when you either don't drink or can't because your driving. I will definitely be back again.Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful evening.
