Had a lovely late lunch here. The chai & fuchka were delicious & I really enjoyed the decor - especially the beautiful, poetic gallery wall of photos
If you want a unique restaurant, with the perfect ambience, this is the place to come. Food was absolutely delicious, every dish was taste perfect, very unique taste like never before. Service was incredible.
While exploring the vibrant streets of Shoreditch, I discovered a charming eatery that immediately caught my attention with its glowing reviews. Intrigued, I decided to sample a few of their offerings: the chicken katti roll (£6.50), a flatbread generously stuffed with tender chicken, their signature charista chai, and the Fuchka (£6.50), a house specialty of hollow puris filled with spiced mashed potato and chickpeas, topped with shredded egg and accompanied by tangy tamarind water. From the moment I stepped inside, the decor set the tone for a memorable experience. The space is thoughtfully adorned with chai-inspired posters and poems, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. But it was the food that truly stole the show. The chai was a standout—perfectly spiced, with just the right hint of cardamom, easily one of the best I’ve had. The chicken katti roll was equally impressive, a delightful balance of flavors that left me eager for more. While the Fuchka didn’t quite meet my expectations—perhaps more a matter of personal taste—it was a hit with my dining companion, proving its popularity among regulars. Would I return? Without a doubt. The chai and katti roll are exceptional, and this place is one I’ll happily revisit. A hidden gem in Shoreditch, offering some of the best comfort food I’ve experienced in the area.
A neighborhood gem for Shoreditch, on Bethnal Green Road. It has a few popular Bengali street food items, like fuchka and katirolls (which were very nice). They also have biryani (though this wasn't quite what I was looking for). Well decorated and clean. It wasn't too busy when we went on a Monday early evening, which was nice.
My first time going into this place I was recommended by a friend to go and try a particular product. It was really good. I must say definitely recommend to try this place.
