Meldyke in Middlesbrough

I’m truly disheartened by my recent takeaway experience with Chaiiwala in Middlesbrough. I ordered three parathas and chole channa, but unfortunately, the quality was well below acceptable standards. The parathas were completely burnt—charred and drenched in excess ghee, making them unfit to eat. It was shocking to encounter such poor preparation, especially from a place I’ve frequented regularly. Regarding the chole channa, even after reheating, they remained cold and mushy, lacking both texture and flavour. In the past, whenever I’ve ordered biryani, it’s been rich in authentic flavour and well-prepared, making this experience feel like a total letdown. Regrettably, I had to discard everything—it was that appalling. Waste of Money. To the kitchen staff and management: would you genuinely serve burnt parathas and cold, soggy channa to your own family? This issue goes beyond taste—it’s about basic food hygiene, which was evidently missing. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes this feedback to heart. I would love to see Chaiiwala restore the quality that once made it a favourite.

Used to be good quality here . But it seems to of worn off . Pizza tasted like cheap crap .came luke warm and soggy . Kebab was loose little scrappy bits . Chilly was a weird pale yellow colour . Hopefully it's a one of.

Ordered through just eat, order was accepted. Waited an hour only for them to cancel the order. Do not accept orders if you can not fulfill

We came from out of town for a comedy night and wasn't sure where to eat. We came across dirty burgers and it was delicious. Very clean and friendly staff.

I would of gave it 5 stars but a human looking sasquatch put his filthy fingers all over my food. Didn't eat it
