    The worst possible food ever had in last over 30 years in Indian Restaurant. My guests were disappointed and we left with eating anything much. We forced ourselves to eat bit and personally : All chats and Papdis were disasters. Papodom were from cash and carry and not roasted or fired in house-50 pence packet they are charging £3.75. Water bottles costing £4 each , most of the dishes are cooked previous day or Amy be stale as were smelling and had to be returned. They charge for those dishes also. Overall the worst experience. My suggestion never waste your time and money these Johnnys as you will leave frustrated and angry like we did. If you want to go Chai Thali go only if you want to waste money. My feedback will keep coming for next 30 days every day

    The food was just as amazing as the staff. Friendly staff really stems the foundation of a good dining experience and Chai Thali excelled at it. Our waitress not only had a smile on her face the entire time, but she had great banter too! She knew most of us were fasting so she made sure that our food arrived just in time to break our fasts. It did help that the food was delicious. All in all an exceptional dining experience.

    A buzzy place with good street food. We thought portions were decent and over ordered given some reviews complaining of small portion sizes. Most dishes were good though curries and snacks were better than tandoori that was a little dry. Cocktails good.!Service a little disorganised and could space out timing of dishes. Likely to return.

    For an Indian eating this Indian it was just not flavoursome, although the service was very good and cannot be faulted.

    The decor and actual restaurant were lovely, clean and inviting. The starters were quick to be served and delicious. However, the main course was not very good at all - my husband ordered a non-veg thali with lamb and spinach as the main course and there was so much spinach, with 2 or 3 pieces of lamb that he may as well have ordered a veg thali. I also requested for a candle in a dessert for my husband's birthday but that failed to come. Very disappointed with the food as well as failure to mark a 30th birthday meal.
