"First time visiting The Chai Club and we were treated like family. They are super friendly and helpful with excellent and honest food. Everyone how came in were treated with the same approach and that made for an excellent atmosphere. The specialty chai was a dream. Will be returning. Marks out of 10 = 12+"

"The food here was absolutely fantastic. The menu offers a wide variety of choices, and everything I ordered - Chapli Sliders, samosas, Aloo paratha, and tea was freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The young gentleman behind the counter was incredibly welcoming, and the service was second to none. It’s rare to find a place that nails both quality and hospitality. 5 stars from me and will be back in the near future."

"Chaii Club is a genuinely lovely place with even lovelier people running it. Nazim and the team are incredibly welcoming and make a real effort to remember you personally. I came in last week hoping for sticky toffee pudding, only to find it had sold out, so they kept one aside for me for my visit today, which really says a lot about the level of care here. The desi breakfast is brilliant and full of flavour. It’s the kind of food you keep thinking about afterwards. A great local spot with excellent food and people who genuinely care. Highly recommend."

"Brilliant little spot. I’ve visited a few times and the food is consistently great. The samosa sandwich is a standout hot, fresh samosas in toasted buttered bread with cheese and their red sauce. Proper comfort food. The masala chai, with a good hit of cardamom, is always perfect."

"We found this lovely family-run place by chance on a wet Sunday afternoon. Even though it was nearly 4pm, it was open and busy with a really warm and friendly welcome. We had a Signature Chai and a Chaffee (a masala spiced coffee) both sweet, warming and piping hot. We also enjoyed some Indian street snacks called Sliders which were delicious, and the coconut and chocolate cake which was yummy. Really nice people and great food. Would definitely recommend."
