Khan Baba in Manchester

Love this little place , breakfast always on point and fresh , amazing staff especially the young lady on the counter always serving with a smile. Definitely recommend everyone to try their desi breakfast and their aloo parata. Great deserts too. Hope this place is always around .

I had the pleasure of visiting Khan Chai in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, and it was a delightful experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The highlight, of course, was the chai—rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed. It made for a comforting treat on a chilly day. The menu offers a great selection of snacks that complement the tea perfectly, all freshly prepared and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to offer recommendations and ensure a pleasant visit. Whether you're a fan of chai or just looking for a cozy place to unwind, Khan Chai is definitely worth a visit. I look forward to returning soon!

Best service by the front staff. Kudos

Good atmosphere. Custoner service and quality of food was excellent

I came for brunch and they didn't disappoint with their large freshly made paratha, chickpeas and omelette. I was looking for a place that sells home made parathas and now I found it. Dining area is small and not decor is average but food and service makes up for this. Would highly recommend you try the desi breakfast. A selection of desserts available too and fresh orange juice.

Not been for a while decided on a desi breakfast this morning,,the tea was lovely as usual, the breakfast was not great,,,£10 for the Khan special,,,nothing special about it.. Aloo paratha size of a 16’ pizza without the aloo,(must be a shortage of potatoes) dripping with oil, one overcooked retired omelette and a baby size plate of chick peas with hint of chopped red onions with tea… When I left I was starving. Overrated How you got reviews raving about the parathas, you guys need to try proper parathas serious.

Visited this place last week with a friend and we ordered 2 x Aloo Paratha along with Orange juice. A big let down is that this place is “CASH ONLY” sp no form of card payment whatsoever! The service is Sluggish but the food was Tasty especially the Aloo Parathas were tasty as they’re served with Achaar. Though I couldn’t contemplate that the Orange Juice is charged £4 for a medium size cup. Overall experience was Alright 👍🏼

Hands down better than Chai Wala. It is obviously smaller in size but the food is 100x better. Freshly hand made paratha’s which are BIG. I’ve had the channa’s, the halwa’s, parathas, aloo paratha, omelette, achaar and karak chai. Been tons of times as you can tell.

They always give us time when we call for takeaway. However, until we get there, they simply state that they forgot to make order every time same excuse. In that case, what good is it to give you people a heads-up when you consistently forget? I have to.waste another 20 minutes on counter for my order so all total I have wasted 45 Minutes. Time is not valuable to you folks. My call for complaints was abruptly cut off by the chef, who was extremely impolite and uninformed. Please, you people must realise how precious time is.

Got 2 karak chai and four doughnuts. Waited around 30 minutes for the donuts to be prepared only for them to be burnt not happy at all.

Enjoyed their desi breakfast with ommolete and homemade parathas. Rather small in size, but adequate.

Large potato paratha is very nice.

Very nice and the food was exceptional

Very nice breakfast. Paratha and channas were very good.

Needed an early breakfast on the go, Khan Chai was open, and we decided to do a takeaway of coffee and 7 seven aloo paratas. These were HUGE and very tasty, we got some chutney & pickle too which did spice it up for my husband and I. This kept up very full way past lunchtime. We did have a big order, and we did have to wait a good 25/35mins for our food. We were actually in a rush, it's a shame they only have 1 person in the kitchen, I really think they do need a few more hands in the kitchen to really get everyone's orders out quickly. I would still definitely visit here again, you get a lot for your money. Also a heads up, coffee is not their speciality. Our coffee wasn't nice, I'm afraid, but looking at people around me, milky tea seemed the way to go 😄

The place and person were welcoming. Our paratha and kabab for our kid were amazing. However was a bit disappointed that everything we wanted to eat wasn’t available. It felt like everything was finished for the day. Samosa chaat was finished at 6 pm, very few of the nashta like items were remaining. Its just that when people come to your place it would be nice to eat what we want to order than choose something else on the menu.

Food is nice but very long wait to get your food . Im still waiting over 40 mints but the food is not ready . I dont have all day to waste here .

I tried the channa chaat, amazing. Home made food, and you can tell. The dhay pallay were great too. They serve fresh donuts, waffles with any topping you like.

We come here often for chai and mint mojito which is really delicious! mahmoud gave us very good service. 10/10 would recommend.

Nice and cosy place. Great customer service!

I love the variety of Chai they offer. The staff is friendly and the environment is clean. Best chai house in Manchester hands down.

Best place ever❣️❣️❣️ I recommend to everyone 💯

I think for what this place is and how it is run. It’s one of the best places on the road. Service has always been 10/10. Friendly staff. Welcoming. Always helpful. Great menu and prices. Keep up the great work! Prefer the tea here to other places on the road and sugar ring donuts are amazing.

Nice tea, best in cheetham hill, reasonable price not a rip off like chai wala, only thing they need to be generous with pakora portion

Worst service mainly night time guy he never even smile and he takes order rude…! Worst behaviour….!

Brilliant service and the food was amazing

Best pink tea I ever had in Manchester. A must visit place for Pink Tea fans in Winters.

Delicious breakfast and karak chai. Amazing staff, great service

Tea's always burnt these days so i stoppd going here, also they never have oranges for the orange juice machine so cha cha chai's my new tea place as its alwayss pukka there karak chai

Lovely place. Great environment. Food lacks a little taste but overall amazing. Their chai really is something else.

Second time here for an authentic desi breakfast made in house, service was excellent and fast. Welcoming staff and made sure our food was cooked to perfection for us to enjoy. Definitely a family spot for authentic Pakistani breakfast😍 samosa chaaat hit on another level. I’ve had desi breakfast aloo paratha freshly made, chenna halwa and puri and karak chai🙌🏻

Had a wonderful time with family. We got the channa chaat- cold and samosa chaat- hot - which was a highlight. Also try the milk cake - very light and creamy

Wanted to try a new place than Chaiwala since its too mainstream and everybody goes there. It was a good experience at Khan Chai, they’ve served fresh breakfast, tried aloo paratha breakfast along with channa and omelette, Karak Chai. I would definitely recommend this place. Note: I’m not from Manchester, so wanted to try some new place.

I never wanted to give a negative feedback to anyone. I went to do breakfast today as i heard they have very nice breakfast. The Chickpeas served were harm warm and half cold. Not fresh and not even properly ovened. tea was not a good taste even chai shai opposite to them serve the best tea. Waste of money and even halwa was not fresh i should give them 1/10. Not happy at all and not recommend ever. I left more than half of it. Puri was not up to the mark not made properly

Food is good but the staff specially girl are very uneducated and backward,there is one small skinny girl on evening time looks like she is working forcefully,every time i go there she stand there with crying amd tired face like she is doing favour on costumer.never say hello ,thanks,please.i never seen any smile on her face. I think khan chai should teach the staff how to give good costumer survice on counter

We was gonna go to chai walla but we seen this place khan chai and we thought well try this not been there before but thought we'll try this, I've never left a bad review for anything and this is My first time. Honestly the service was awful and I was disappointed going with the family. . The only good thing was the pink tea.

The tandoori chai and karak chai is exactly the same but just bubbly and charge extra pound for that. Meant to be served in a clay cup but they dont. Took a while for our order and kept missing things from it. We had to keep asking for a bottle of drink which was missed from our order and came about when my friend getting annoyed after the 3rd time. The wrap meal my friend had was mainly full of lettuce and sauce which he wasnt happy with. We will stick to other tea places next time.

Chicken and Veg samosa tastes really good. Karak chai is very vice as well.

Clean shop, the desi breakfast is lovely, definitely better than the chaiwala across the road, service could be a bit better and helpful as the girl on the till js seemed like she cba but bcos of the food I'd highly recommend it.

i order pratha chanay and desi chai…very fulfilling,taste good and quality is good.The service is very fast.Must try it.

I went there the second day of eid and i didnt find anything except tea and panjeeri,tea was good.

Maqsood was amazing and very kind. He was very helpful and friendly great customer service.

very friendly and kind staff, food is so delicious and a good portion of food

Really poor tea unfortunately. Actually had to return them for a refund - first I’ve ever done that for tea! I’m pretty sure it was heated in the microwave. This was the end of the night, so I can understand if the kettles were turned off. But should have said that they were finished rather than warming it in the microwave.

Discovered this place by accident walking around Cheetham Hill. I hadn't had breakfast yet, so gave this place a try. I had the traditional breakfast of Halwa Puree and a Chana Masala. The food quality was good and I didn't have to wait for ages either. At around £5 it was good value for money.

I got a Kashmiri tea , 2,50 £ very expensive and the tea was not really good , I don't recommend

Very nice and helpful staff and good food. We reach quite late around one o’clock today and there desi breakfast was finished but they were kind enough to made breakfast for us my son ordered chicken tikka wrap and donuts everything was fresh and very nice such a good experience we’ll definitely come again

Desi breakfast is £9 it’s too expensive also not tasty it’s better to go (the royals) same breakfast only £6 also nice and friendly customer service khan chai it’s expensive and customer service is rude

Terrible experience as was served meat when ordered vegetable samosa!!! Terrible service and samosa was too greasy!!!

Khan Chai was best cafe around. However, food quality is going down very fast (lightning speed). The main issue is food quality (most of the time served cold and sometime microwaved Gur wali chai). Dear management team please look into this issue and “Fix it”.

Changing the review on this. Previously had positive experience and gave 5 star but on my last few visits its been extremely poor. Customer service and food quality have been poor, karak chai is not the same. My friend ended up binning the chai and got a different one from another shop. Hopefully the management can improve this.

The food was really tasty we bought chana puri with desi tea in the afternoon. It's was 4 of us

Best chai I’ve ever had, excellent service, nice and clean cafe and very friendly staff. Also helped me with baby milk and did not charge

Mashallah nice tea and nice desserts. Recommend their pistachio milk cake

I had desi breakfast with karak chaii I enjoyed everything

Chai was really good and refreshing Honest staff. An old box of chaat was accidentally served, but the staff replaced it without asking and made a fresh one. Really good service Highly recommend!

Pratha,s are expensive evenmade with real butter ghee, very simple omlate is also expensive, no worth for price.

Just ordered karak chai. As usual, sweet hot. Nice.

First time here the chai is spot on lovely recommend you give it a go for sure

Delicious breakfast. All items especially aaloo paratha was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed with family.

Visited on a Wednesday evening around 10pm . Milkshakes, mocktails and halva, do not seem to be on the menu certain at this part of the day. The fresh donuts were very nice. Karahi tea was not that great. Pre boxed Milk cake so was nice but i presume they purchased this externally not in house. Service - no smile with service.

THE FOOD IS NOT ALL THAT & THE PRICE IS DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT ,DESI BREAKFAST PRICE IS GONE FROM £5:50 to £8:99 lol NOT EVEN WORTH THE PRICE & THE STANDARDS HAS DROPPED, ❌ IGNORE THIS PLACE❌ Chai wala is much better option …..

Chef did not follow staff instructions specifically as told staff how I placed my order

Waited way too long for food and drink. The food was okay but not something I would run to or suggest. Sorry

Visited this place on a weekend recently for desi breakfast and it was fairly busy. We ordered desi breakfast which came with chai. After the intial mix up of plain parata instead of aloo (which i'd paid extra for), the girl at the till rectified it by bringing an aloo parata. Happy days! I had two paratas. The food was outstanding and chai amazing! It was delicious! We really enjoy good desi karak chai and this was one of the best, hands down! The price, quantity, quality and taste were outstanding. The staff is also nice. We'll certainly be back!

I tried the desi breakfast with my friends, ordered desi chai paratha with chanay, egg an omelette. Prices are decent at £5 for paratha, chanay and a tea. Taste wise its decent but the portion of desi breakfast is really small an especially when the paratha is huge. All 3 of us that ordered breakfast had loads of paratha left over. Plus side nice place and family feel. Great location in cheetham hill.

Best chai and donuts I've ever had, fantastic service with a smile.

Nice clean place. Chai was ok, had rose milk cake. Decent portion.

We were planning on getting breakfast and eating in but hygiene was not on point. Tables were dirty and flies that sadly expired were left on the seats. Raised the issue with staff who weren't concerned about the hygiene standards so decided not to order.

2 visits and seems to be getting worse, first time order breakfast with omlette and got 2 confused eggs, 2nd time ordered 2 breakfasts and got 1 plate with toast and eggs and 2nd plate with omlette and toast. The sausages, beans and hash browns went for walks, 10 mins later the chef with a confused look still wonders what I'm waiting for, I mean bro come on I'm still waiting for the rest of the breakfast, by now the omlette and toast with the tea, ICE Cold. Chef is a great man, but the guy on the till needs proper training and needs to be non customer facing, worse thing it at the end of the whole pallava they charged me an extra 5£ coz the guy at the till entered the order wrong though he took it right as he confirmed everything 3 times

Delicious food! The desi chai was delicious. We really liked the halva and the cake! The service was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend!

Nice desi breakfast, I joyed it

Great place for Desi and Halal English breakfast!

Desi Breakfast with Karak Chai. Very Good service. Loved the interior and arrangement.

Tasty food everytime . Desi Breakfast highly recommended.

Horrible food and bad service, staff did not take the order and charged extra. I would not recommend going here. I've given it 1 star but if I had a choice I wouldn't even give it any star.

Highly recommended this place, if you want desi breakfast this is your place. The parathas are freshly made for you, not frozen like most places.The Chai is the best 👌. Staff are very friendly and service is great.

Well manner and polite staff members and obviously best chai ever I would recommend to everyone much better than chaiiwala after all its khan chai 😀

Food was very good but service was slow.

Yummy Chai, quality service and good prices. Thank you

Alhamdulillah Chana and Pratha with Karak Chai, keep it up

The cakes I bought were off the kheer was clumpy tea was disgusting all went in bin avoid this placev

Pistacho Rose Milk-Cake was fresh & Yummy 😋 with Desi Karaak Chai. Friendly Staff & good Customer Service .

The food before September was nicethen the quality went down hill.recently went for breakfast with friends.the food was half cooked and burnt Very disappointed. Will never go again

Went yesterday with friends for breakfast, but was much disappointed ☹️ as the Parathas were burnt from one side, also the Puris were like Popadom not soft like traditional Lahori Puris, asked them to replace but again the Puris were not cooked from one side… not going there anymore….

I have been the regular customer of chai wala visited khan chai for the very first time and I love the food especially the desi breakfast its far better then chai wala. I will highly recommend it .

Worst Experience ever Been waiting one hour for desi breakfast I definitely won't recommend this place So disgusted with customer service

We were traveling from London thought we will go to Chaiiwala for breakfast but saw this and gave a try . It was worth it . Desi breakfast was excellent they make fresh parathas not frozen ready made like most of the chai shop do. Chai can be improved but was nice . Nice and friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. Will definitely come back

We came for the desi breakfast. The paratha and tea was really tasty 👌

Very good food, nice experience.

English breakfast isn’t worth it , desi breakfast no faults , tea is ok , long wait times and place is small

Milk-cake superb and chana chat spicy 👍 tasty

Lovely atmosphere and the customer service is excellent

I went there after doing a 12 hour shift and a heavy Dinner for a karak chai tbh loved ever bit of it and staff was very friendly too

Simply wow I never expected such world class breakfast . Amazing. Your tea was simply great . Reminded me of old times . Thank you so much for bringing such lovely taste to us . My whole family still talking about your breakfast, your masala chips . Definitely you got me as a permanent customer . Keep it up .

Small sawarma but taste good and spicy.Nice packaging and donuts are make it there.

Very nice desi tea and fresh made delicious doughnuts and desi breakfast 😋

Very bad waffals order today girls

If you are craving some good ol' desi karak chai, this is the place to go. They also have add-ons like saffron etc. All really balanced. They also do a "tandoori" chai, brewed in a clay pot. That is my favourite and is definitely worth a try!!

We always go there and have tea and dessert some amazing staff excellent customer service perfect place go to strong recommended and service by Aliyah Laiba Hassan
