I was invited to the grand opening of , and the experience was a delicious tour through comforting desi flavours with a few standout surprises.
Aloo Parata
A great start soft, well-seasoned, and tasty even without the yogurt dip. The dip added a cool contrast, but the parata was flavourful enough to shine on its own.
Halwa Puri
A classic done right. The halwa was sweet and smooth, and the puri had the perfect texture not oily, not soggy, just crisp and enjoyable.
Samosa Chaat
The superstar of the meal. Bursting with flavour, textures, and a satisfying spicy kick, it brought everything you’d want from a chaat - freshness, crunch, and heat.
Mixed Kebab Roll
Really good and surprisingly great value for money. Simple, flavourful, and filling.
Bombay Twister Wrap
Out of the two wraps, this one easily came out on top. Crispy, delicious, and packed with crispy chicken, it had the perfect balance of flavour and texture.
Loaded Chicken Tikka Chips
Tasty on its own with tender chicken and well-spiced chips, though it didn’t pair as naturally with the rest of the items, it felt more like a standalone street-food pick.
English-ish Breakfast
A hearty favourite with a twist. The masala beans, sausages, and the rest of the breakfast items came together brilliantly - comforting, flavourful, and satisfying.
Pani Puri
Light, spicy, and refreshing. The spice level was spot-on and made for a fun snack between the heavier dishes.
Karak Coffee
Chaiiwala’s signature and rightfully so. Rich, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. A must-try.
Mango Lassi
Thick, refreshing, and the perfect cooling partner to the spicier dishes.
Final verdict
So glad that Chaiiwala is in Norwich. I think so many have been waiting patiently for it, and the wait is worth it. So many options on the menu. 8.5/9
