Chai Village UK — Restaurant in Stockport

✨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...

Been here on two separate occasions now. I live around the corner and this is a very convenient cafe for me. Firstly the turmeric latte is divine, do try that. Now with it being a vegan cafe expect only your staple vegan curries, chickpea, samosas, paneer and the like. Personally vegetarian curries are the best anyway. Love me some dhall, spinach and potato's etc but they aren't on the menu. There are nice flavours to sample though, very aromatic, portions are on the small side, but it's not a restaurant. It's a light bite with a coffee.

As a connoisseur of rice and three in Manchester, this comes no where near in terms of value and taste, but I'm hugely proud we have establishments like this popping up in Romiley. They have a selection of kulfi ice cream which is really unique, I do recommend you try as it's really creamy and they have interesting flavours to sample.

The things they could improve, a ceiling fan wouldn't go a miss as it can get quite warm, they'd also benefit from a wall mounted fly exterminator, also the seating is really odd, they have loads of space but like 3 tables, and you only need one person to grab one of those and and there is no where to sit. They'd do well to get a long wooden beam that acts as a table put across the two big windows with stools you can sit on to look outside to accommodate individuals just popping in for a bite. There's a small children's play area to keep the little ones entertained which is a nice touch.

All in all though I wish...

Visited recently for the first time to sample some of the breakfast offerings. Lovely warm welcome and atmosphere despite being pretty quiet at the time we visited. We tried the breakfast muffin (absolutely delicious, the aloo tikki were so beautifully spiced and the tamarind chutney was perfect) and the pancakes (apple and cinnamon, delightful, not too heavy and really tasty) along with some Kashmiri pink chai. If anything I would have liked the chai to have a slightly stronger flavour but I've not had it before so I'm not sure if it's meant to be very subtle. Really nice having the pistachios on top though.

I enjoyed the food so much I took some treats home from the deli counter for lunch, and the Punjabi samosa was also beautifully spiced and so tasty.

I really enjoyed trying traditional desi breakfast items and would like to see even more of this in the future if the menu expands, paratha is my all time favourite! I didn't try the cakes yet either but look forward to popping by for another chai and a treat soon.

Fantastic so see a vibrant vegeterian offering locally, best of...
