I'm not much of a lunch person but I do occasionally get the nibbles half way through the day and Chaiiwala is perfect for this. This branch is based in city centre so it's useful when you want that quick tea fix or quick bite on the go. The cafe is small, possibly seats about 10 people inside and there's one or two tables outside too. Can be tricky for pushchairs and wheelchairs, unless it's a nice day and you opt to sit outside. There are plenty of carparks around the city centre but the closest one to Chaiiwala is on Dover Street which is literally a minutes walk away.

My wife and I stopped here for coffee and chai (for me) and the karak coffee is some of the best we have ever tasted! Seriously. The karak chai was also amazing! On top of all of that, we were equally amazed by the desi breakfast, with a masala omelette (incrediblly yummy) and wonderfully spicey masala beans, plus we ordered both a side of rotis and parathas. One of our favorite breakfasts on our visit!

I never really try Chai at brands because they suck at it, how ever Chaiwala really has great great chai. We tried their Masala chai and Pink chai which I tried for the first time and it was good. Follow for more such reviews @eat_with__s
