Chai Village UK

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, the second time with family, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of dishes that were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant maintains excellent hygiene standards, which was very reassuring. One of the highlights is the dedicated kids’ play area, which makes it a perfect spot for families. Accessibility is another strong point. The location is easy to reach, and thoughtful design that ensures everyone can move around comfortably. The customer care was outstanding. The staff was warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, making the experience even more enjoyable. The space itself is large and well-organized. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and elegant, creating a relaxing environment. Overall, this restaurant checks all the boxes—great food, clean environment, family-friendly amenities, accessibility, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Faultless. Actual perfection. I adore coming here and if i had the money to id be there all the time! Brought a friend today who had never been before and she was blown away and is planning to come back with her partner. There are also GF options. People who arent veggie need not worry.. you wont miss meat with a menu like this i assure you. I usually get the paneer options, sometimes a bhaji option (burger) but this time it was earlier so i got the desi avocado. Little one got a “picky bits” platter which is perfect for her. I wish there was wheelchair access so my older daughter could come but the way the building is doesnt lend itself to it. Fab play area for little ones and right by the park too. I normally come with my mum who adores it too. The seasonal hot drinks menu is amazing (though im boring and always have americanos or the occasional chai or turmeric latte)

Update April 2025: just been to Chai Village for the second time. The lady who runs it is just as friendly as I remember. Greeted as soon as I came in and made sure to say goodbye. I went for an iced vanilla matcha again which was very tasty! So much choice on the menu, I went for the Vada Pav. I wasn’t expecting two - perfect size for a lunch. So much flavour and just the right amount of spice. Can’t wait to try more food. Was nice to see the cafe so busy! After being recommended this place, I knew I had to check it out and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the two ladies working there were so friendly. I ordered a vanilla matcha over ice and a blondie. The food menu sounded so good that I’ll definitely be back for some lunch and a chai! Lovely, cosy cafe. The matcha was so good! Dog friendly too.

✨Amazing Indian Vegetarian / Vegan Cafe✨ We visited for the first time today as my partner is obsessed with Chai at the moment. For drinks I had the biscoff coffee shake which was sensational, the coffee wasn’t too overpowering and the roast / blend choice was delicious. My partner had the home brewed Masala Chai which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the pot of tea he received was massive! (We stayed a bit longer just so he could finish it as it was that good) For mains we had the Indian breakfast muffin (vegan sausage, Indian spiced hash browns, and a bbq tamarind chutney) and the Chai Buckwheat pancakes which came with syrup and berries. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich, the chutney was amazing and really pulled everything together. Though I didn’t try the pancakes they were gone within minutes. Both me and my partner agreed portion sizes were bob on, we felt full without feeling overly lethargic. Though we didn’t have the opportunity to try them the cakes and Indian deli looked delicious. Our entire meal with drinks cost under £20 which I think is ridiculously reasonably priced considering the quality and portion sizes of the food and drink. (Not to mention the very quick service!) It is also worth noting they seemed to have an extensive ice cream range. All staff were super friendly, the woman serving us really seemed to care about our experience there and we were given customer service you can’t simply buy without there being a true passion for what she was serving. I would highly recommend dining here, and we look forward to visiting again.

I went here for the first time today with my dad (all he eats is meat) and wow… it was amazing. Even my dad said how amazing it is!! The best breakfast I’ve ever had!! Would 100% recommend and I will definitely be going again!!

Amended! I ordered wrong and apologise! Next time I'm ordering a frappacino!! We had coffee and cake, but it was lovely. I had an iced mocha with almond milk, the only tweak I would make is if it was blitzed with the ice so that the ice is crushed and mixed in to really chill the drink. Other than that, good cake - I had vegan chocolate cake, hubby had vegan sticky toffee cake with biscoff, daughter had caramel (millionaires) shortcake. The sticky toffee cake was the winner! Hubby had an americano and daughter had a carton of juice. There is a play area for little ones, and they are dog friendly which was a bonus for me because it was a post-walk treat. I'm recently vegetarian and have wanted to visit for a while, it didn't disappoint and I'll definitely be back!

Love this place! The food is absolutely amazing. It looks good, smells good and tastes fabulous! We always try to pick something different off the menu because all the dishes are so delicious. Can’t recommend the masala fries enough. They are ridiculously tasty and I always order them every time. The cakes and puddings are really good too. Always something different to choose from. The owner is super friendly and always smiley when you walk through the door. This is a vegan and vegetarian restaurant which is amazing to have on the door step. The decor is really cozy and has a cute indie vibe.

Really enjoyed every visit to Chai Village and is an excellent recommendation for lunch! Food is delicious and the staff are amazing.
