Chaiiwala

Chaiiwala is one of those places you can walk into at basically any time of day and find something tempting, with a lively South Asian cafe feel and the smell of chai and fried food impossible to ignore. The karak chai was strong, creamy, sweet and heavily spiced, the masala chips were dangerously addictive, and the vada pav was probably my favourite item on the table - Mumbai in origin, alongside karak chai's South Asian tea-culture roots that have become hugely popular across Britain.

Best Thing About It

The vada pav - a crispy spiced potato fritter in a soft bun with tangy chutney

Could Be Better

Nothing, honestly - it's one of the best-value spots around
