"Me and my friend came to try this place out about 2/3 months ago, I ordered fries which were soggy and not that great, I also ordered a wrap but forgot the name of it. The sauce inside of it didn't really appeal to my taste buds but I won't blame the restaurant for that, I just didn't like it that much. My friend ordered pani puri and said it was decent. Service was quite slow, it took a while to make the food we had to wait about 15 minutes. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice and the seats are very comfortable. I'm a bit confused on why they have an English breakfast as an option when it is Indian themed."

"I was looking forward to having an English-ish breakfast at this place. When it arrived I was so disappointed. For the money you pay, you don’t get much. The omelette was bland with no seasoning. The sausages was overcooked, lamb bacon rashers was hard as rock and the toasts wasn’t even buttered. A small amount of beans was given, but not enough to appreciate the taste. Overall, this is how you don’t do a breakfast. I won’t be coming back."

"It is a good place to grab a bite in the morning. They serve breakfast all day and they have a wide varieties of food. Their Karak Chai is a must to try even on the go by itself is a refreshing drink."

"I was waiting for this place so long as I tried before in London chaiiwala but it was my worst experience ever in Southampton!!! They just opened shop but it was so dirty! All the empty table was full with dirty plates and cups and nobody cleaned the tables after three times we told them they came and clean the table. They serve street food and kind of fast food but you should wait for one order minimum half an hour!!!!!! How is possible when you are coming for a break you stay there for that long???? After half an hour they told us the food coming in 10 minutes!!! The tea as well serve with food the same time that means we waiting 40 minutes without anything there!!!! The food was well decorated but sadly it was so cold. They design a great place with beautiful decorations but unprofessional service. so the only reason for 1 star is the tea they serve. It’s delicious tea with great flavours."

"Beautiful establishment, stunning decor and a wide variety of items to choose from. Have been waiting so long for Chaiiwala to come to Southampton. Staff are great, they were extremely helpful and polite. Great customer service skills. Will definitely be coming back here soon.."
