chaiiwala Walthamstow Reviews Summary

Drink Quality

Pros:

• "Pink chai and karak chai are very tasty and comforting."
• "The Chaiiwala franchise was started in Leicester by 2 brothers in 2015, however this story goes way back further... 1927, on the streets of Delhi."
• "This tea right here! I’m a coffee person, but seriously?! The taste of comfort."
• "The chocolate chai mousse tastes like heaven, it is basically ganache."
• "Lets talk about the tea now! This was soooo fresh and creamy! Indian style tea with so much lovely flavour and spice!"
• "I recommend getting the loaded chips, chicken butter roll, or the breakfasts."
• "Delicious and cheap food! I got the samosa cone and the kebab roll and both tasted delicious and fresh."
• "Chaiiwala’s karak chai is perfection. I like my chaii strong, hot and not overly sweet."

Cons:

• "The Chai was not worth the price tag. It feels like there's a lot of water added to it and less milk."
• "Every time I come here they never have the drinks which are displayed on the menu."
• "ok, so I've been coming here for a few years, chai is second to none but there's 1 serious problem with this place, 9 out of 10 times they had run out of pink chai with still at least an hour of trading time left."
• "The prices are going crazy. I used to buy regular karak tea for £1.99. Then they bump it up to £2.25 a short while later £2.50 and now £2.75."
• "The chai is absolutely amazing. If you go to India, there's men randomly selling chai on the roadside, and this is the closest I've had to that version in years."
• "The masala chai here is not authentic, hence the 3 star rating."
• "karak chai tasted like water and was so disgusting that I had to throw it away."
• "Chai 4/5 (cinnamon one is weak)"

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The halwa puri is yummy too!"
• "The imili chips (tamarin) were yummy - love the sauce!"
• "The kunafa cheesecake was basic, was expecting more excitement in my mouth."
• "The food and drinks were very nice. I had the English breakfast."
• "The Bombay sandwich (toastie) was very nice! I didn’t even want to share!"
• "I’ve been ordering from this chaiwalla for a long time today for the first time I had some problem with my order but Rianna really helped."
• "The small cute Indian place that serve all day breakfast."
• "The food was tasty and well worth it."

Cons:

• "Felt the curries were too oily-swimming in it and this made eating with paratha messy."
• "The food is evermore so flavorful."
• "I ordered chilli paneer with chicken tikka sandwich- it took approximately 14 mins for the food to arrive."
• "The food is absolutely awful now... the masala chips are awful, the sauce has been burnt and the kebab roll is literally a standard shop bought paratha with a pre-made kebab in it."
• "The food takes about 4 times longer to arrive than it should."
• "The food and drinks were very nice. I had the English breakfast, but I found the omlette too salty."
• "Old stale food delivered. Samosa chat was a samosa in chickpea curry, no fresh yogurt or tamarind sauce."
• "The food was ok. It wasn’t amazing. It’s a good place for a casual meeting with friends and for some light snacking."
