Food Quality
Pros:
"The interior as well as the food was absolutely beautiful."
"Amazing food! Had the chicken biriyani, paratha with lemon side, and had to get their signature karak chaii."
"It was my first time trying karak chaii and kashmir as well as the butter chicken main. All of the food and drink provided were excellent."
"First off, the ladies working there, the ambience, the interior, the cleanliness and presentation where absolutely brilliant."
"The roti was light and flaky and the spiced Chicken sausages were incredibly tasty."
"Nipped for a coffee and after looking at the menu, I decided to have the keema with peas."
"The food was so tasty and friendly and attentive staff."
"One of the best place on victotoria road to dine inn with their mouthwatering desi breakfast and amazing chai deals."
Cons:
"The food was below average. The loaded fries were nice but the paratha were not freshly made (it was the regular frozen ones), cholay was bland."
"I ordered the chicken biryani: £9.50 for a small bowl sized portion of chicken and rice. Finished it in 8 bites (not even joking)."
"To be quite honest not what I was expecting. The paratha is just straight out a freezer and food is quite bland compared to proper Indian/Pakistani food."
"The samosa chaat was very good, the butter chicken was pretty bland."
"The food was tasty but not convinced it was freshly made which is what I expected."
"Samosa chaat had some sort of sauce which had gone off tasted horrible."
"The food had nothing desi about it at all. It was on the very bland side. The butty and sandwich were dry and seriously lack flavour."
"Tasteless food .after eating the breakfast this morning desi breakfast .i am ill .parada under cooked chana looked old."

"Very bad service."
"The food was average, the coffee okay. Main issue was the music, too loud."
"Ordered food that took a long time to come out. Odd when the place was empty."
"Service is terrible. Long waits sitting in or taking away. Staff needs managed better."
"Girls behind the counter are too busy gossiping instead of welcoming the customers."
"Food and Chai ok. Was there last night for a meeting. Everything going well until a group of boys came in who either one of them works there or knows the owners took it upon himself to put the music volume up."
"Never ever recommend... Service is so rubbish and slow.."

Cons:
"When I went to the toilets, it was so clogged and unkept that my nose decided to stop working for the rest of the day."
"They really need to review their cleaning. The window cills were dusty, wall panels were dusty, photoframes had cobwebs on them, as well as dead orchids in the window cills with their original packaging still on."
"Clean place and nice interior but too many flies in there, hovering on food and around must be loving desi food."
"If you value your health and safety then avoid this place in regards to Covid safety measures."
"I really like the atmosphere, good tea, and nice interior. This is a good place to study or chill with friends. The desserts and teas were all tasty and worthwhile."
"The first time coming here and not a great experience. We went in nobody approached us so we sat down at a table. No signage anywhere to say need to book a table."
"First time in 'Mi Chaii' and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The service we received was so amazing."
"Regular customer at the mi chai branch, usually come with my family and have a nice experience. However, visited today the young lady serving me did not have a clue!"

"The masala chips didn’t taste like anything and were a proper rip off for the price."
"Went took my parents but to be told have to reserve a table. So we were turned away, and told if take away need to wait 45 mins!"
