Karak Chaii Hall Green Reviews Summary

Tea Quality

Pros:

• "The best Karak Chaii I've had in a while. With really nice Gulab Jamun and Gajrela to go with it."
• "Visited Karak Chaii yesterday and I have to say the tea was bang on. Very authentic and tasted a lot like the desi tea you have in Asian households."

Cons:

• "Worst tea chips were old recooked in oil to make them look fresh. Chai was old warmed up."
• "Teas taste burned."
• "Their chai is not karak. It was from yesterday. And breakfast is not worth eating and expensive too."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "Amazing and professional service from all members of staff."
• "Super attentive and welcoming staff - especially Ahmed and Kiren."
• "Evening staff are always polite and well mannered, they serve me with a smile on their face."

Cons:

• "Stupid girls busy talking in the back. Not bothered to serve customers."
• "Service is really pathetic here. Too busy talking in the back, will walk away from the till whilst you’re about to order."
• "Staff at front soooo bloody miserable no hello, smile or what can we get you. No thank you."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The Alloo Tikka Chat was tasty and really nicely seasoned."
• "Great atmosphere, and delicious food. Also, such quick service."
• "The food is light but tasty. Really recommend the butter chicken and masala chips or samosa chat."

Cons:

• "The flavors were bland, and the quality of ingredients was subpar."
• "Bombay sandwich was cold and very thinly laced with potato paste. Very disappointing."
• "The masala chips were a cone of fries saturated in 'chip shop' chilli sauce."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "The interior is gorgeous, with outdoor seats too. The jazz music playing was nice and really adds to the atmosphere."
• "Nicely decorated and good ambience, tea was fantastic."
• "Really cool looking and warm fire lamps outside. Gives the shop a very aesthetic look."

Cons:

• "One downside is when it gets busy then the atmosphere is abysmal."
• "To be fair we came in just for drinks so my review is solely on their drinks. The karak chai was the worst I’ve had."
• "Unfortunately, this place is a blueprint copy of Chaiiwala. From the menu, decor, layout and prices: there's nothing that stands out as original."
