A recently opened stylish Desi Café, based on London Rd, serving up luscious chai-style tea and Desi street food (part of a franchise).

From gorgeous coolers & bubble tea, to their warming signature strong-brewed chai with different flavour combinations, Karak Chaii has a fantastic drinks range. That’s not all of course! They also have some fantastic all-day Indian & English-style breakfasts, street food & curries, and yummy desserts. [ad]

Myself and foodie friend Sophie – @chef_in_sheff were kindly invited to their pre-launch evening last week, and we enjoyed;

• Samosa Chaat – a great, tasty and attractive dish
• Chicken Momos – these dumplings came with a SPICY sauce that was fab
• Aloo Tikki – yum!
• Chilli Chicken Masala Chips – and great portion with decent spice
• Thali – Butter Paneer, Rice, pickle & sauce and naan bread. (Also served with Saag Chicken usually but was taken off as we required a veggie dish) – lovely but it would have been nice for the chicken curry to have been substituted for another Veggie dish. However the normal menu features loads of veggie choices!
• Mango cheesecake
• Vanilla milk cake with pink tea – not our bag unfortunately
• Guava coolers with popping strawberry bubbles – these were fab
• Signature chai – warming and delightful

Minus a few hiccups all-round, the pre-launch evening was decent, and t left us wanting to explore more of the menu should we return again in the future.
