Restaurant Review: Chaiiwala I recently visited Chaiiwala and had the pleasure of trying their desi breakfast, which was fantastic! The meal came with a perfectly cooked omelette, two warm roti, and flavorful daal. Each element complemented the others beautifully, making it a hearty and satisfying start to the day. I also tried the tandoori peanuts, which were okay. They had a nice flavor, but they didn’t quite stand out as much as the breakfast did. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Chaiiwala. The desi breakfast was delicious and filling, and I look forward to returning to explore more of their menu! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic flavors!

My first time having chai in Leicester, and I think it's great that this place is so welcoming and they offer a little sample to taste. And what a taste! Absolutely loved every single sip!

Visited the area for an event and needed a coffee after a long drive on a Sunday morning. This was the only place that was open early and once inside, I decided to actually get the “Desi Breakfast”. Service by the young girl serving was efficient, informative and polite. The breakfast was tasty, hot and a great price. The Karak Coffee was hot, sweet and hit the spot. First time visiting a Chaiiwalla but would definitely return based on this experience.

The go-to spot for breakfast. Kadak chaai/coffee, and with a lot of choices for a bite, sweet and savoury. Parking can be an issue, especially at peak times.

Always enjoy a Chaiwala and it was more of the same here. A great location, especially after moving a few doors down to much more spacious setting. Now you can really sit and enjoy, you could spend all day there if you want to. The only reason I have docked a star is that at times there can be a bit of a wait. Which isn't the fault of the staff, they are sometimes outnumbered.
