The Chakra Lounge in High Peak

Very poor egg and bacon to takeaway. Never had coriander on a egg and bacon bap before. It was well presented however the egg had no yolk in as it was spread over the cardboard box it came in.

Lovely breakfast at chakra lounge. Friendly helpful staff, great service and lovely food with a twist. Really tasty, clean & fresh. Catered well for my gluten free diet.

I recently had lunch and had the Garden Burger, which was absolutely delicious! The flavors were fresh and perfectly balanced, making it a truly enjoyable meal. They also have a wide variety of food options on the menu, ensuring there’s something to please everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for something light or a hearty dish, you’re sure to find it here. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

I’ve eaten here and at The Chakra Lounge, Bakewell, on a number of occasions, with friends, and have always waxed lyrical about the food at both places. Today, however, was a totally different story and I very much doubt that I shall go back to the Buxton cafe. Whilst perusing the menu, and trying to decide what we wanted to eat, we ordered drinks, an oat latte for me and a hot chocolate without cream for my friend. Although both drinks were only just warm, and certainly not hot, we drank them and didn’t complain. We both decided on a jacket potato with curry (chicken curry for me and chickpea curry for my friend), which came with salad, and we were both disappointed. The first issue was when I twice had to ask our server for some salad dressing, such as a French dressing / vinaigrette, before being told that the kitchen was dealing with the request and then being told that there was no salad dressing. Our server then returned to the table with two small sachets of mayonnaise which were woefully inadequate for two people. Consequently, my salad remained untouched. Both potatoes were really small, especially for the price (£8-£9), and only lukewarm. However, the amount of curry was meagre to the point of being derisible and my so-called chicken curry had just one small piece of chicken! When the server returned to clear the table, I politely informed her that we weren’t impressed with our meal and she said that she would ‘tell the chef’. We each ordered another drink, asking if they could be hotter than the first two and they were fine. Our server subsequently said that she had spoken to the chef and we would be given a discount on our meal. However, with a bill that came to more than £31 for two jacket potatoes with curry, two hot chocolates without cream and two oat lattes, I’m unsure what sort of a discount was applied! Overall, a poor meal and disappointing experience.

The best coffee and chai I’ve ever had. Unbelievable food of the highest quality. I visited the sister restaurant in Bakewell first and that was as good

Lovely place, attentive staff. Great food. Spotted it on a day visit so decided to go in and really glad we did! Would visit again!

Best coffee in Buxton and the foods great as well. We ended up going a few times over a long weekend in Buxton. Breakfast is magic, as are the staff.

Popped in for a coffee and a cake - which was great - read the lunch menu and made a booking for later in the day right away! Lunch was great, lovely flavours, good selection (Inc Vegan and Veggie). Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. We will be back.

Lovely decor and atmosphere, everything very bright and cheerful inside. The service too, was fantastic and the coffee good. My partner's food (the scrambled eggs and chaat) was absolutely fantastic! I had the 'If Indians did it' breakfast, which unfortunately was disappointing. Although it was a perfectly fine fry up, the only nod to making it Indian was a barely perceptible dusting of cumin on the fried potatoes and some garam masala in the Heinz baked beans. I had been hoping for something akin to Bombay potatoes, homemade curried baked beans and an explosion of flavours. Perhaps it's worth renaming the dish the standard 'full English'.

Popped into this place by chance lovely staff full of advice explaining the menu didn’t disappoint and was exactly as described . I had a breakfast the way an Indian would do it as titled was extremely tasty Full recommend this place plenty on the plate too

Very friendly and helpful staff and lovely food. Friendly and helpful throughout and even suggested places to go for a drink after we left.

We ordered 4 meals. We found the food to be very average. One meal was incredibly dry, one very spicy and the other 2 the presentation was awful. We definitely wouldn’t go back again. Felt like it was all being run by very young girls.

This is the first negative review I have ever written. We ordered drinks which arrived quickly, the waitress then took our food order. The food being taken past us smelt lovely and our hunger grew. We sat for 45 minutes and watched several other tables of customers arrive, order their food, eat and leave. Really didn’t want to be rude but in the end I asked the waitress who took our order if there was an ETA for the food. She looked baffled and asked ‘oh have you not had your food yet?’ then ‘Did I take your order’ and then just asked what we wanted stating she hadn’t ordered it last time. We explained how long we had been waiting and received a rather half arsed ‘you don’t have to pay for your drinks if you don’t want to’ (two soft drinks). We chose to leave as there was no apology or suggestion for how they could remedy the situation. Terrible service and a complete waste of an hour.

Absolutely fantastic place. We went for dinner in the evening, and the food was superb. We are vegan and the choices were great - we had a starter and main each and they were some of the best Indian dishes we've ever had. On top of this the service was exceptional, and as if that wasn't enough, the prices are good too. The Chakra Lounge has been a favourite of our first a number of years, both for breakfasts and lunches (of which there are good vegan choices). In fact, we travel about 90 minutes just to enjoy this place. I can't recommend it enough, if you are in Buxton make sure you pay it a visit, it will definitely be a pleasurable experience!

Really tasty and well presented . Dog friendly too . Really happy I found this place . We had brunch , spicy egg bowl which was a generous portion and delicious . We also had the bacon wrap which was amazingly good .

Most authentic Indian taste and delicious. Very good quality and excellent taste. We all liked it. Definitely recommend it.

I had vegan four layered curry with rice and hand made naan....hotter than what I'm used to...but so tasty...I had pistachio green drink...gorgeous and then chai cold drink to calm the spice down. We came back from so many days earlier as the food was so lovely. Its always busy, great atmosphere. Wish we had this in West Lancs

Delicious food. Masala beans are a must have. Great service and friendly staff. Looking forward to returning when we next visit Buxton.

I got the tandoori chicken burger which was ok, except towards the end I noticed that part of the centre was pink (it wasnt seasoning) so i left the rest of it, it was a very thick chicken breast with garam masala seasoning on top- no char lines or anything so something i could of made at home. Also they used a normal barm/bap/cop (whatever you call it) as the bun which just turned soggy and disintegrated. My partner had a curry and i tasted some of it, it tasted like a supermarket curry- nothing special but not awful. The poppadums were homemade but were soaked in oil/grease. The chips were great though. I wouldn't return here or particularly recommend it.

Fabulous lunch. Good choice for vegans and meat eaters alike. We have visited a few times and always great food. Staff helpful and friendly.

Fantastic food and excellent service. We have visited the Chakra Lounge on several occasions and have enjoyed it a lot, but today they were absolutely brilliant with both their service and the food was delicious!

This place ticks all the boxes - warm welcome, friendly and efficient staff, great food (from the brunch menu, we had English breakfast with an Indian influence - yummy!) It’s dog friendly too. Very happy!

Called for Sunday brunch. Lovely selection of Indian brunch options & drinks. Especially enjoyed the masala scrambled eggs. Enjoyed the cafe too it’s really quirky. Good prices - just got everything right. Well worth a visit!

Popped in for brunch, lovely venue, good food and a helpful team, able to alter all dishes to suit (a couple nearby asked for some tweaks to the standard dishes and were granted all assistance). The vegetarian breakfast with a masala twist was great as was the masala eggs Benedict.

Superb breakfast. Truly delicious. I had sausages in naan bread with a Fried egg and a spicy Chai. Yum! And my friends had the Indian Take on Breakfast. Delicious. With Tumerick and ginger latte. Wonderful, fresh food and a delightful atmosphere

As always the vegan breakfast was amazing. Something different but totally delicious. Very busy but still really good service with a friendly smile.

Fab little place on main street. Staff so lovely. Cakes galore for all dietary fads. Good simple menu too. Worth a visit when in Buxton

An absolute gem of a place. Amazing flavours and friendly staff. Had a blue latte but I can't remember the name of it ..anyway it was superb!

Whilst on a day out in Bakewell my daughter in law recommended the Chakra Lounge for lunch. We had not booked but received a friendly welcome and were shown to a table in the window. My grandson was with us and loved playing with the toys, games and books that were available. The restaurant is a vegan and Indian cuisine. We had a variety of vegan drinks including a Tumeric latte that my son ordered and it was delicious. I asked for the Nachodums and this is a small dish and made of nachos in a chickpea salsa with onions, tomato, coriander chillis and smashed avocado. Wow it was lovely. All of us are enjoyed the food. We spent a lovely hour in there and can highly recommend it.

We are vegetarian - it is a brilliant menu, spoilt for choice. Would definitely recommend the Naan with Curry dish! Hope to revisit soon. Thank you.

Very busy, even a little after the lunchtime rush, but they found us a space. Really cool place, fantastic atmosphere, staff are fab, very helpful and knowledgeable about their food and menu. The dishes brought out looked so delicious and it tasted delicious too. I had the best milkshake ever, blueberry with crushed pomegranate on top, it tasted like heaven. My other half said his vegetarian dish was fragrant and subtle, but quite spicy as well. Beautifully cooked. In fact, everything was perfect, including my pancakes with fruit and ice cream. I am so glad we tried The Chakra Lounge and would definitely recommend eating here. What a find. Everything the reviews say and then some. Excellent.

So, after searching the streets of Buxton for something that resembled a decent Café, we saw this quirky and vibrant Café and liked their vision about supporting local suppliers of quality ingredients, so in we want. The lady that served us was really warm and helpful and we ordered 2 tumeric and ginger lattes with a shot of coffee on the side. Wow, what a fab combination and we had a blueberry scone each to satisfy our scone fetish. Both were amazing, and we couldn't say enough good things about this gorgeous cage. Buxton has a gem in The Chakara. Make the trip and effort to visit this lovely place

Always great food and a buzzy atmosphere. Staff are helpful. Gets busy so probably worth booking a table. Dog friendly!

This is my third or forth visit, this place does some delicious drinks and food. I’ve had the tiffin previously and always have the rose and cardimon milkshake. Had the chilli cheese toastie which was a nice twist on a classic. Great attentive and friendly customer service. Pretty sure they’ll be a sixth visit.

How to make a visit to Buxton memorable! This small fronted cafe has a great atmosphere and fantastic welcoming staff. As the name suggests your not going to get run of the mill chips and burger but an indulgent menu full of spice and promise. From the array of teas we chose matcha and pistachio and a turmeric chia but we were spoilt and could of drank them all. Prices are very decent and match Costa prices. We both had The Bombay Benedict (chefs kiss) ...... so folks this is a definite must visit in Buxton. We will definitely be going again and again

Great Anglo-Indian food, well presented and served with a passion. Excellent for vegetarian and vegan options.

My favourite eatery in Buxton. Tasty well cooked food, so different from the blah de blah! The restaurant is so ambient, relaxing and friendly l could stay there all day. Lovely welcoming staff and very friendly as befits the ethos. X

The tiffin was great and very filling. Nice atmopshere, friendly staff. Would definatley come back

The best breakfast I’ve ever had! Great fusion of breakfast with an Indian twist. Great price aswel! Would 100% recommended this cafe!

By chance visit whilst visiting Buxton. A amazing find. Beautiful Indian fusion food including brilliant cakes and coffee. Dog friendly too. If we lived locally it would be a place to visit often.

By far the best breakfast in Buxton. Far more tasty than a normal English breakfast, and really friendly staff too. Also, very reasonable prices.

Lovely atmosphere, great staff & very tasty food. We only went in for a snack & wished we were hungrier because the Indian inspired food looked & smelt amazing. We very much hope to return another day

Went at 11am on a Saturday and just managed to get a table. Quite a small place and it is obviously popular. Ordered coffees and breakfasts. I had an oat milk turmeric and cardamom latte and the vegan breakfast. Drinks came quick but had to...

Having previously been impressed with a breakfast here last month we went in the afternoon to sample the main menu and we’re not disappointed. Amazing combination of flavours burst from each mouthful. Will definitely be back!

As a Buxton resident and foodie, this is my favourite eatery in town. A great range of drinks, delicious cakes that cater for all, and outstanding Indian food. I recommend the Saag Meat curry, if you can handle some heat!

A lovely little place, thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were welcoming, The drinks and the meal with a beautiful! We will definitely be back. X

Me and my wife had lunch here, we both had samosa chaat and we both thought it was delicious,described as a small plate on the menu thought it was a generous portion.

Lovely place and lovely food. Definitely returning. The Matche and Ginger Latte was unreal 😋 Looking forward to trying more of the menu Thank you

Family visit, all loved our delicious Indian inspired breakfast, roti wraps and curries. Great interior, mama tiffin was a lovely veg dish, with 4 curries. Cakes and coffees look amazing too. Would definitely recommend!

It was a very unpleasant experience at the restaurant. We walked-in and they told us to come back in 30 minutes, we returned in 30 minutes, they did not give us any attention or did not show us which table to sit in. Fortunately the...

A lovely place with extensive vegan options. Smoothies and milk shakes can also be made vegan. Dog friendly. Wonderful.

My boyfriend and I came for lunch on my birthday weekend adventure and it was absolutely wonderful!! The food was delicious, we couldn’t believe how lucky we were to stumble across you! Thank you, we will certainly be back again and with more company!!

Had lunch today using a groupon voucher . Such a delightful place . Food & drinks were so good but the real ‘warmth’ was not just in the food it was the total ambiance that made it Staff cheerful & helpful. Could not fault. Thanks

Superb lunchtime meal for four. The Ragada Samosa Chat and Mama Tiffin are so good. We will most definitely be making a return visit.

Amazing Find So accommodating, lovey fresh cakes. Nothing to much trouble. Friendly staff, very clean. Great choice. Upstairs and downstairs seating.
