Gup Shup - Chit Chat Chai in Havering

We came here with our 2 children for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. The service was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to cater to our children and made them feel really special. We had 2 kids mini English breakfasts which were absolutely huge for such a good price. We also ordered One big daddy breakfast and one chit chat double English breakfast which safe to say we’re so so filling and definitely lived up to the name! We will definitely be back.

Been coming here for a while and the food does taste like mums food. Service here is always 10/10

Generous and helpful hospitality service. I loved the food and want to come again every week.

Amazing atmosphere for family and friends, great chai and chaat.

Gupshup is amazing!! The knafeh milk cake and papri chaat is so delicious, especially the karak chai And Arshia’s customer service was immaculate, will definitely be coming here regularly

The Karak chai was very nice , also the service was really good especially Arshias Customer service.

Everything was amazing… the food, chai and the customer service. Arshia was also absolutely wonderful too! The chips and the knaffeh cake was delicious, will definitely be coming here again and again :)

Pani puri, knafeh french toast and chai were all amazing, great service! A little pricey but good for once in a while

Highly Recommend: Aloo Paratha, Desi Breakfast, Samosa Chaat, Karachi Bun Kebab, Knafeh French Toast, Smash Burger and Keema Nachos!! Gup Shup is a vibrant cafe for anyone craving authentic Indian and Pakistani street food with a variety of brunch, burgers or grills. I’m a regular and go frequently - This charming cafe captures the essence of bustling South Asian streets while providing a cozy spot for a leisurely breakfast or a flavourful lunch. The perfect spot for families and everyone in general.

Gupshup is my favourite go to place. Their food is very delicious and always fresh. I really enjoy their chaat items. Today was my 5th or 6th visit I guess and this time my 4 month old baby was with me. It was so sweet of them especially the lady Arshia who came to us and held my baby so that we can enjoy our food. For a new mummy to enjoy her food it’s indeed a blessing. Thank you GupShup team.

Whenever you go there, ask for ready because ready is ready all the time and he will entertain you and make you laugh Had a good time will recommend to go

Staff were amazing especially Reddy and Mohsin and Arshiya. They made our iftar experience special. Thank you guys. We will recommend to family and friends.

Nice place to eat drink n chat. Just had brunch there was peaceful n ddnt feel rushed

If I’m not wrong the person who made the drinks his name was wahaj, he made the drinks perfectly and delivered it with such care. Thanks wahaj

I had the smash burger with the buffalo wings. It came without along delay. Well cooked. We also shared knafah fresnch toast which was excellent and decadent

Went here for the 1st time with wife and baby. The lady is very friendly and helpful. We ended up ordering a lot for 2 people and had so much leftover we could have fed 3 adults. All the food was great and really flavourful. Tea was really nice to. 2 areas of improvement. 1st. We went when it wasn't busy, and it took 30 minutes from first dish to last dish to come out. So their was a lot of waiting between. Don't get me wrong. It was worth waiting for. 2nd. Drinks should always be given first. The water bottle came halfway in sitting, and tea came at the end after all food around 30min after first dish came out. Honestly worth price and amazing friendly staff. We will be coming back to try more halal food from here.

Just had a lovely breakfast at Gup shup. We have had dinner there before and really enjoyed that too. Staff were also super friendly. Deffo coming back to try more dishes

Great experience. Really friendly staff and good food

Fantastic service and good food what more could you ask for.

Ordered the chicken burger and buffalo wings. Amazing food and generous portion. Will be back for sure.

Lovely food and good service. I’ve eaten here 3 times now😀.

The interior is lovely, with a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly. They offer a wide variety of dishes and drinks, so there is something for everyone. The vibes were so cosy, and I must say, the food was exceptional. We absolutely loved everything we tried. They also serve the best chai I have ever tasted! If you're a chai lover like me, you definitely need to give it a try. I highly recommend visiting this place for a delightful experience.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The big daddy was very tasty. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Child friendly too.

Ive always been on the lookout for good halal breakfast spots. This was by far the best beating highly known spots like chaiwallah. Good prices, fresh produce, they even hand make roti etc so tastes fresh like home. English breakfast and the crossover was really good. Chai is unbeatable. Service amazing. I cpuld go on but you get the point. Highly recommend!

I recently visited Gup Shup, and I have to say, it was one of the best café experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The ambiance was cozy yet lively, perfect for catching up with friends, having a quiet coffee, or even getting some work done. What truly made this visit special was the outstanding customer service provided by Wahaj and Arshia. They were both incredibly welcoming, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was nothing short of perfect. Wahaj, an old friend of mine, was working there, and seeing him in his element was great. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and friendly nature made the experience even more enjoyable. Arshia was equally wonderful, making sure every detail was taken care of with a smile. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely amazing! Every dish was packed with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. Whether it was the perfectly brewed coffee, the delicious snacks, or the heartier meals, everything was top-notch. You could tell that a lot of care and effort went into preparing each dish. Overall, my visit to Gup Shup was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and incredible service made it a place I will definitely be visiting again. If you’re looking for a café with a friendly vibe and top-quality service, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Great experience and great food. Just moved into the area, felt very welcomed. Food was so so good! Thank you!!!

Everything was really tasty! Got the chaat, fried wings, English breakfast, mojitos and loaded chips. All of it was 10/10 and very polite service. Deffo recommend

The food was good but some food was bit pricey.

I really like food here specially samosa and chaat i loved it

Very good customer service and food quality was very good would recommend!

Really nice halal breakfast, staff rly hospitable. Good quality food

Gup Chut Chai was an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The decor, with its cozy seating and vibrant colors, transported me to a place of comfort and nostalgia. What truly made this visit special was that I managed to reconnect with an old friend here, and it couldn’t have been in a better setting. The food and drinks were exceptional, bringing back cherished memories of my childhood. Every sip of their chai was rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, while the food was bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of home-cooked meals. Their menu offers a delightful variety, catering to both classic and modern tastes. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who ensured that we had everything we needed. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, adding to the overall experience. It’s rare to find a place that excels in both food and hospitality, but Gup Chut Chai truly delivers on both fronts. Without a doubt, this is the best café in London. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and heartwarming experience

I recently visited this café and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food was horrible – the masala chips were barely half a box, and the tea was cold and flavorless. To make matters worse, the service was incredibly slow. We ordered an ice cream cone for my son, they didn’t even provide a tissue, so it ended up dripping everywhere. On top of that, I found the prices to be overly high for the quality of food and service provided. Overall, I was really let down and wouldn’t recommend this place."

Mashallah very good clean nice food would recommend you coming here.

Coffee and French toast were very tasty. Aloo paratha was also fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend this place for brunch.

Ershyaa was an amazing person. She made a delicious lassi and she was so good at serving

Good Ambience, Subtle flavors of Indian Asian cuisine, adds charm to the otherwise melancholic towncentre. Tea served here is pipping hot and made fresh, unlike most of restaurants who have gotten used to serving the bland dip tea which has neither taste, nor soul. Give this place a visit, certainly a must try and needs more patrons frequenting such authentic food joints, keep it up Gup Shup team 👍🏼

Gup Shup is a fantastic spot for authentic North Indian and Pakistani cuisine! The food is absolutely delicious—flavorful curries, perfectly spiced kebabs, and soft, freshly baked naan. Every dish is packed with rich, aromatic spices, making it a true delight for anyone who loves bold flavors. What really sets Gup Shup apart, though, is the outstanding customer service. The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to make great recommendations. They go the extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend Gup Shup for both the food and the hospitality. Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious food and great customer service! We will definitely be back

The food was absolutely terrible. Everything tasted old and stale. The nachos came with frozen popcorn—who even thinks that's a good idea? The Chicken 65 was just plain fried chicken, nothing like what it should be. Honestly, your cook needs serious training because this was one of the worst meals I've had.

Lovely place, clean and tidy and friendly staff. We had the desi breakfast and halwa puri special was tasty and enjoyed it. Will come again.

Very welcoming, banging food. Tea was very nice . Arshia was a great host

Best chai place in the UK. Amazing breakfast and service is top notch

Absolutely love this place food is always spot on best place to come for a good laugh staff are so warm and funny love it my fav spot

Excellent food and very cosy atmosphere. Good service too and reasonable prices. Will come again .

Papri chaat is just too good!!! Not an average oily chaat..it was soo fresh yumm And the cheesy toast Also the ambience is lovely, staff is soo accommodating..and very nice

Top quality food with cheap prices. Praneet was a great guy with excellent service. Arguably best food I have ever had in Essex.

The service in this place is awful. It’s a shame it ruins the experience as the food is decent. We came in& waited to be seated, and the lady at the front was just staring at us, so we had to go at the front to ask for table/waiting time. They told us 40 minutes wait& that the free table was reserved, so we left and walk past 5 mins later to see another table was actually free. Again, service was awful. There were no menus& had to ask the table on the side of us for their menus. We waited 40 minutes for our food and drinks& there were only two of us. It got to point where we asked the lady to at least give our drinks. Not an apology in sight. My aloo baazi was cold. They didn’t ask how the food was. The service really ruins it. But the lady was being extremely nice to table on side of us& asking them for 5 star reviews. It was our first time coming here so not sure what her issue was but really ruined our experience. If the service was better I’d rate it 4 stars. The service and communication really needs work.

Amazing Restaurant. The food here is spectacular. Fantastic Service. A Must visit.

Can honestly say it tasted nothing like the last time, even though we ordered the exact same items. Disapointed!

Lovely food and welcoming staff

Lovely place delicious food and ambience Arshiya was a lovely hostess

Excellent snacks and great service! Will definitely go again.

best Aloo tikki chaat. Highly recommended.

Had the chit chat English breakfast and the chit chat crossover. The French toast with Nutella and fruits was quite nice as was the orange juice. However quite disappointed with the rest as the beans came out cold and had to get them reheated. Rashers and eggs were also lukewarm/cold and ended up leaving half of it.

Amazing cafe, very cozy ambiance is warm and inviting. Perfect for relaxing meal or catching up with friends. I had karak chai and it was very good. Also there chaat and breakfast is delicious. highly recommend

Had a lovely time with the family here, breakfast was great, nice aesthetic interior, Arshia was very kind and friendly, overall great experience will be returning thanks

I can only advise the owners of this restaurant to ditch Just Eat because they are parasites who make your business look bad. they offer no customer service and provide misleading status updates throughout the process.

Service was great! The food was even better!

I had the chit chat double English breakfast very filling and good portion sizes. To top it off I got the lotus French toast with the icecream. Quite sweet but also very delicious. Overall amazing customer service and Good quality food. Will be sure to come back here again.

Great service and food. Prices are great and they cater for your needs. Would highly recommend this place and will come again!

Food was delicious, fresh and full of flavour!! Will be coming back!!!

Send nearly £40 and the whole food delivered was Cold. Guess what’ the restaurant Gup Shup is 1min away from my house. Rubbish service

Delicious tasty and plenty of food enjoyed the music and staff very friendly I have been here several times and have always be happy

As a frequent customer of Gup Shup, I recently stopped by for breakfast, and once again, it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely fantastic – fresh, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. I opted for a traditional breakfast, and every bite was a treat. The chai, as always, was the perfect balance of spices and warmth, making it the ideal start to my day. The service remains consistently friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is always cosy and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy a good meal without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy a hearty breakfast with great vibes, I’d highly recommend giving Gup Shup a try. It’s no wonder I keep coming back – it’s a firm favourite of mine!

Arshia Was very sweet. We Dropped by on our cycling adventures and she allowed us to park our cycles inside. She was very polite friendly and the customer service was amazing. She is an asset to your business. She looked after us and was very hospitable! Will definitely visit again soon and bring other friends!

Enjoyed Aloo paratha, and kadak chai was the best. Thank you Arshiya for your customer service, you are amazing.

We shared a vegetable thaal - lovely food, lovely service. Thank you

Arisha was lovely and really helpful. The food was also amazing. 😍

Such a good experience. Nice food & atmosphere. I was served by Arshiya & she’s honestly such a wonderful person.

Such a lovely find in Romford. Came by with my friend and we weren’t disappointed. We went for the non-veg thaal and it was amazing. It comes with a great selection of food and karak chai and it was really filling too- don’t be deceived by the portions in each pot. The pakoras, papri chaat, seekh kebab and chicken 65 were really flavoursome and the lamb samosas are huge with a generous filling. The masala chips have more of a sweet chilli flavour than spicy but that’s a personal preference. The gulab jamun and karak chai were perfect, I wish the teapot was bigger! We ordered knafah french toast for dessert (as if the thaal wasn’t filling enough)! and it was probably one of the best French toasts I’ve had- really soft and buttery toast with a nice crunch from the knafah topping. The lychee mojito and blue lagoon mojito were also really lovely with a strong flavour. Really cute place with lovely decor inside and a really homely feel to it. It can get very busy, especially on the weekends but it’s well worth the wait. The waitress is also very upfront with waiting times which is really helpful. Really reasonable prices too, the thaal was only £25 for 2 people and between us both we spent less than £50. All the food is also halal. We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu!

The best place ever, i highly recommend it. Foods feel like home made food, Tastes soooo good

Absolutely amazing food and great friendly service and the place was incredible

Lovely little cafe. Friendly staff & excellent service - especially from Tahir who was very attentive. We ordered a range of dishes from the menu - all cooked fresh & tasted delicious!

First time trying absolutely amazing would defo come back. Chai was a little sweet for me but have been told they do a non sweet chai so will give. That ago next time

Lovely family and wholesome environment, excellent service and delicious food.

A really lovely brunch spot. The food was all really lovely - very authentic and fresh tasting. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Amazing food !! Really enjoyed myself

Absolutely delicious food and the Knafeh french toast was to die for! Thank you!

Very nice food recommend the door is very cool

Very nice local family desi style breakfast cafe. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. Love bringing my boy here after football.

The food not up to the standards

Great food and good service. Lots of options and cosy atmosphere.

I enjoyed my Chit Chat Double English. It was great. A lot for the price.

GUP SHUP is fantastic for big groups! The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming, making sure everyone feels at home. They have a wonderful variety of comforting food that caters to all tastes. The girl taking orders was very helpful and guided us through the menu with detailed explanations of every dish. The service is excellent, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Really recommend this place. Kayak chai is the best!

The food is super tasty and delicious especially the lamb chop and the Tikka, I love them; the service is excellent also, very friendly and ready to help. If you’re closer to the door/window on a sunny day, there’s no blind to protect you from the sun. They should look into that.

Fantastic food and great vibe! Tahir was amazing 👏

Desi breakfast is excellent and very tasty good food

Came here for brunch with my friends and a 2 year old and everything from start to finish was fantastic. The food was very nice and fresh and we really enjoyed it

Excellent vibes and food. Definitely worth visiting again.

Lovely food. The wait for drinks was long but otherwise a lovely relaxing atmosphere.

The food was lovely and the owners were so accommodating. We were fasting and the food came out just before iftar and we were given prayer facilities also! Overall such a lovely experience and would definately recommend anyone to visit!

We really enjoyed here, was first time for us, amazing people, amazing service :)

Excellent food. Hidden gem in east london

We discovered a breakfast spot near Gidea Park through Google, and our first visit was an exceptional experience. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, while the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return in the future! Sobia

Amazing Indian Street food chaat restaurant. Bhel puri, pani puri and chicken 65 out of this world. Mango lassi finished things of nicely. Lovely friendly staff too. And very reasonably priced

Always a good time, great food and wonderful service. I'm a local and tend to bring visitors here whenever I can!

Such a lovely food place !! Nice aesthetics and service was amazing !!
