Had a lovely breakfast here—staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and nicely presented. It really made for a great start to the day. However, there were a couple of things that could be improved. We noticed the cutlery and table hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly, which took away from the otherwise pleasant experience. Also, as we walked in, there were quite a few leaves scattered near the entrance, which made the place feel a little untidy. Overall, a great spot for a tasty breakfast with excellent service—just a bit more attention to cleanliness would make it perfect.

Best dal around! The veg thali is light, wholesome, and full of flavour — really satisfying. Only thing I’d tweak is adding a bit more variety of vegetables to the thali. Still, absolutely worth trying!

After a long time, a nice India street food cafe has come up in this area. Very friendly staff. Zeeshan is very helpful and can recommend some of the best dishes from their menu. Decently priced menu however the portion size can be a bit more generous.

Karak Chaii is an excellent addition to Leamington's variety of food options. It's specific blend of traditional Indian restaurant and street food is fairly unique to the town and I love it. My partner and I come here a lot, it's well priced so it makes for a great lunch or dinner. We also just pop in to grab drinks, like their titular Karak Chai, just while we run errands in town. We keep coming back because we enjoy the variety of options on offer, and because the service is always stellar. The staff are friendly and the food is prompt to the table. I seriously cannot recommend them enough.

I popped down here for a quick snack with a friend and we were spoilt for choice. The paratha and lentil daal was fresh and not too oily. Very warming food perfect for sharing. The portion was small but for the price there was plenty. The karak chaii pink tea was quite magical to look at, full of little grains of pistachio, and tasted like a dessert in a cup. Children would love this food as it is bright, playful and shareable. The waiter was very attentive and keen to recommend and also to hear our feedback. This in itself created a welcoming environment. A new haunt in town certain to become a favourite. The decor is bright but not overpowering and the atmosphere was relaxing and quiet enough to have a very nice conversation.

Not just Karak Chai aka Strong tea, there are a host of things served. Hot chocolate is also good. You can also feast on appetizers and light meals. The ambience is quite good. Edit: (reducing 1 star) Post my last visit, where the chai served was kinda very strong, despite requesting for extra milk to put in, but the kitchen denied, though the counter staff was kind. Trying another indian chai outlet..
