Urban Chai in Cambridge

Everything is Boyond the perfect

Food smelled delicious, friendly staff only 4 stars as didn't have any of the flavours we wanted in stock.

Great chai, great vibes, definitely new favorite halal spot on campus!

Amazing food with lot of food options to try

I love how they treat the customer and I feel grateful while talking to the staff. They’re really helpful and the food is delightful

The way they handle their costumers is awesome

Love the food here - so delicious and full of flavour. The paneer dishes are my absolute favourite but also love the masala fries and wraps. Really recommend and the price is very reasonable too for the quality.

I’ve ordered food for delivery several times now, and nothing beats their Mum’s Special Dishes and Parathas—especially on a grim day. They have that comforting, homemade taste that really lifts your spirits. Today, I tried the Papdi Chaat for the first time, and it was a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors and textures was spot on—crispy, tangy, and utterly satisfying. Urban Chai truly brings the essence of home-cooked food with every bite!

Jaspeet was fantastic service and a asset to your company 🥰

Freind people and jaspreet is very nice and fast worker with a brilliant servise

Superb food! No words crazy variety in veg options.. 200% worth it

Their parathas were amazing, generously portioned and freshly hand made (unlike some places where they serve you frozen reheated ones). We tried the paneer, cheese & onion, and the chicken one. All three super tasty. The Badam milk and karak chai also lived up to the spec. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu! Slight feedback on the place, as we went on the coldest day in the UK in 15 years (according to the BBC) is that the inside seating space is too small and too cold to comfortably enjoy the delicious and hot food. Still well worth the visit!

Awesome food, amazing value for money. Super authentic parathas, the flavours are so good. Will definitely return.

Always a great welcome. It is by far the best chai place in Cambridge. Great taste and service, this is why it is my usual spot for noce karak

Excellent restaurant with great food and even better service. I visit regularly and hope to do so for the foreseeable future.

Chai was really good and staff was polite and helpfu, I do visit with my friends.

Thank you Priyanka for delicious aallu and paneer paratha and the chai was very delightful 😋

Jaspreet was wonderful and very helpful. Surely recommend

The food was very nice. The cashier who took my order is very kind. This shop also offer vegetarian options so it's for everybody. Will come back here if I have time.

The chai was absolutely delightful, and the shawarma stole the show! The flavors were spot on, and the pricing felt totally justified for the quality and taste of the food. Highly recommend for a satisfying experience!

Really love this place. Recommend 10/10

We had tea here and there was a nice atmosphere inside and service was pretty quick.

I loved the open loaded paratha. Customer service and staff was very good.

Best shawarma and customer service in Cambridge

Manager Baljeet give good customer service.

Urban Chai is one of the best Indian restaurants that offers authentic Indian flavors that will make you crave. I recommend everyone.

Very good. Kodak chay and gobi paratha is really delicious 😋

Love the Karak chai. Hope this stays for long!

The service and food from Urban Chai is quite good and one to try.

The food was nice as well as the service

I have been a regular customer for more than a year staff are very good & kind and the food is amazing its homely

Deliicious Chai, one of the best in Cambridge!

jaspreet was very hospitable and food is delicious

Amazing place to go eat! Highly recommended

Best service in town with student discount as well

excellent food Ankita served us.

Very nice and polite staff specially jaspreet❤️

Nice interior, food is mostly good. Very reasonable prices.

Had a great time Proper indian food specially the parathas and chai

Always my goto place for vada paav. Exceptional Taste

The karak chai is amazing , highly recommend

This is my go to place for quick snacks as well as full meal. The taste is authentic Indian and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend the rose faluda, just lovely.

Very delicious food and nice staff 😇

Too salty and online price and store price is different, arrogant staffs

was starving and enjoyed the food that i forgot to take photos 😭 but i loveeeeee their Chicken tikka and Kebab roll plus Chicken Biryani ♥️♥️♥️ a must-try!!

Food options are good. I really like their Parantha.

A couple of days ago, I went here with my girlfriend. The food was delicious, but a few hours after dinner, I started vomiting and had severe stomach pain. Shortly after, my girlfriend experienced the same. When I spoke to a friend about this, they mentioned having a similar experience. I hope the restaurant can look into this issue.

Very good food and attention. Ankita, Jaspreet

Excellent paratha and chai! Would highly recommend!

Was surprised to learn you could order food here. Tried the chicken shawarma, chilly chicken and masala chips, absolutely banging!

Really really lovely service,the staff make it worthwhile and the food is fantastic, really happy they are adding some flavour to the Cambridge food scene. My kids love coming here and it’s always lovely to sit outside when the weather is mild!

The masala chai was great but the service is bit slow. Not much space inside to accomodate large group.another issue is parking.

We had excellent parathay, with daal and omelette, saffron tea and methi paratha in front of gas heater in cold wintery Cambridge day !!!

Great service and food recommended to anyone, new menu

It was very cold outside to dine and even after requesting for the heater, they didn't even on it. It took them 1 hour to give us two orders. All the food were cold as well.

Fantastic experience, I am a regular customer, best service and food in town, always satisfied

Food, when it arrived, was decent enough, but this is clearly an establishment that exists to serve the delivery market. After being told we were looking at a 10-15 wait for food, it became clear that delivery orders were being prioritised. A wait in excess of half an hour for a small order (two menu items) is unacceptable. It took a second request (after converting our dine in order to take away) for the staff to stop packing delivery orders, and pack ours, which appeared to have been ready for at least a couple of minutes.

Urban Chai is the best cafe in Cambridge. It's open until 11pm and offers delivery. Above all, the staff are kind and helpful, greeting you in foreign languages ​​and turning on the heater for you. It's so charming that I went there three times in two weeks. My recommended menu item is bubble tea. It's different from tapioca, with a gummy texture and sweet sauce that pops out. The chai tea is full of flowers, so it's recommended for those who love chai. I want to go to Urban Chai again. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to experience such a wonderful place during my short-term study abroad.

Very good food and hospitality.

First time visited here and taste was perfect speciallly the customer service from Ankita andJaspreet was 10/10 as they helped us to choose their best items from the menu

Fantastic food. Very authentic and very reasonably priced Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious breakfast! And lovely chai. Seating is limited.

Popped in own way home for late snack and it was delicious ! Very friendly will be going back

Great food, great customer service. Ankita always serves with a smile would definelty recommend!

Lovely food with friendly service and eating outside on a warm evening… what more can one ask for? If you want your food more spicy, they can do so… Recommend.

Great place for authentic Indian food and specially Mumbai street food! Great welcoming staff and good portion sizes. Hope it stays this way! The karak chai was good too!

Interesting street food options and I loved the paratha. Staff are lovely and help you navigate the menu.

Best indian curry meal deal they offer student discount also 😋 lovely authentic indian food finally in cambridge

Amazing food, great seating areas and the staff are super friendly 😁

Nice desi restaurant in the heart of Cambridge.

Highly recommend.Very friendly staff .Everything is fresh and home made it takes some time to make them ready for you but your wait is nothing in front of original taste they have .Amazing .

Very good customer service and great quality food especially the kebab roll!

VERY GOOD FOOD.PARTICULARLY CHAI (TEA) is very nice. THANK YOU.

One of the most authentic tasting Indian street food! an absolute must try!

The guy at the till taking the orders was super pleasant 10/10 for his customer skills teas and drinks were good too

Lovely Desi Chai and fresh Aloo Paratha.

Jaspreet served us. Was greeted us with a lovely smile . She was very helpfull . Enviorment was awesome . I cannot find this sort of indian street food in cambridge anywhere. Amazing authentic taste. Staff is very well trained and humble.

It's just excellent place. Variety of original Indian street foods, my favourite are Parathas, delicious, fresh, quality ingredients, aromatic spices... And of course Chai, not to sweet not to spicy, just perfect! Its a family business and there so kind and friendly... Eating here is a heart warming experience. Love it!

Went yesterday late and food was delicious. Samosa Chaat gave sensory explosions with each bite and the paneer wrap was tasty too! All washed down with a strongly Cardamom infused Chai. Mister behind the till was kind, attentive and full of ideas. Team in the back doing great to produce fresh produce all day. Thanks guys! 🤠

The methi parathas were horrible I had to put it in the dustbin straight away will never buy anything from there I would like my money back I am going to ring and complain

food was good, the overall experience left much to be desired .The staff member who took our order was quite arrogant, which detracted from what could have been a more enjoyable dining experience. It's a shame because the food itself was tasty, but the service issues really impacted my visit.Additionally, the wait time was extremely long, which was frustrating. Despite the quality of the food, the poor service and long wait times mean I don’t prefer going again. I hope they can make improvements, but for now, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Great customer service, friendly staff. Most importantly, they take food allergies seriously!

i ordered a loaded fries and bubble tea it took 18 mins to come out the kitchen when the store is already empty. The waiter literally said it will be ready in 5-6 mins

Excellent place with very courteous staff. Loved the paranthas and chai. Should definitely try this place out 👍

Have been there a few times now. Amazing authentic Indian street food. Really love their vada pav and paneer tikka roll Good quality and quality for very good prices!

Best place for chai and desi food

For me, the Karak chai is the best in Cambridge, the Parathas are made fresh to order and you can taste the difference.

Friendly staff and quick service. Aloo paratha was a hit as well as the karak chai. Would also recommend the Vada pav with chips.

Great food. Loved it. More dine in space would have been nice.

Have been here quite a few times and has been a good experience every time. The staff is wonderful, happy to serve and converse with customers. I like their kadak chai, gur wali chai and masala fries. Had a strawberry milkshake once which was good too. The meat served is halal so that helps. They also keep Parle-G biscuit packets that you can buy. Reminds me of India.

This is very lovely place for having food specially parathas and karak chai even I tried chicken curry with rice that’s coming in the new menu… it’s good in taste as home cooked food. I will highly recommend this place and will come back definitely as the staff service is very nice and friendly nature……!

Outstanding service by front desk girl lovely food aloo paratha highly recommend n yogurt was superb Feel like home

I just love this place because of parathas and all other stuff as I have never been to any other same place except this place…….. so recommend to all to experience this place….!

Waited for 40 mins for 2 parathas The staff itself gave 20 mins time Still waited for 40mins and we asked about the order they said will have to wait for more 20 mins Pathetic customer service 0 ratings

I am extremely disappointed with the service and don't plan on returning. I've been dining here for nearly two years and have always loved the food. However, lately, there have been significant issues with the staff. The person cooking also handles the till without changing gloves. I observed the cook, who also managed payments, wipe sweat off her face with the same gloves she wore the entire time.

Lovely fresh food & great service:)

Had lunch and I was very satisfied. The staff were happy to answer the 10000 questions I had. Food was amazing and for such a great price too. From walking in to walking out 100%.

First time trying this place. The food was amazing. The staff are wonderful and the prices are great. I can not recommend this place enough! We will definitely be coming back!

We always have a great time eating at urban chai with great food items. We will definitely keep coming back for more!

Delicious food, a taste of home. 10/10 definitely coming back!!
