Chai — Restaurant in London

Lovely staff, great coffee, excellent selection of tea and cakes! Aptly named, as the chai there is fantastic too; both the tea and the latte. The food is also scrumptious - freshly made quiche, sausage rolls, sandwiches, salads... All delicious! The atmosphere is very welcoming and calm, despite the fact that they are on a main road - the light and airy interior is in complete contrast to the fact that the main road is so busy and noisy. The staff are always friendly and happy to accommodate any requests, even when my toddler is a screaming monster! They have a small selection of books and a lot of patience, which is very helpful when it's lunchtime and my boys decide it's tantrum time :) I would recommend anyone passing by should stop in, even if all you get is a takeaway coffee. You won't be...

We were visiting family in the area and happened across this lovely café. Very friendly owner & staff. We were so impressed on our first visit that we ate lunch there the following day too. Both days the food was lovely. Great choice of deli style sandwiches/rolls - we chose ciabatta - and the fillings were plentiful, fresh and a bit different to the usual run of the mill sandwiches offered in many other cafés. We also tried their eggs benedict which were cooked to perfection. Fruit smoothies were also terrific. They also offer cakes & pastries. Very reasonable prices too. We highly recommend Chai With Friends. Give it a go, you won’t be...

I recently visited with my husband, 5 year old and 8 year old. We had driven down from Peterborough to the funeral directors next door but they messed us about and we had an hour and half to get through.

Chai was the perfect place for us. The staff were really warm and welcoming, there was a loo to use and the kids enjoyed their cakes and smoothies.

It was honestly shaping up to be a horribly traumatic trip but the kindness the staff showed, without knowing our story, went a long way to soothe me that day.

A nice place to eat, run by genuinely...
