Reviews
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.
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.
Had a lovely late lunch here. The chai & fuchka were delicious & I really enjoyed the decor - especially the beautiful, poetic gallery wall of photos
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.
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.
