“ I'm a regular customer at karak chai but what made my experience more better was that I got served by a lovely lady behind the till named Ayesha. She was lovely and sweet to talk too and I felt like trying something different as I always go in for the tea. She recommended the keema chips which is cool because I really enjoy keema curry but what's even cool is the idea of putting chips on top of it. The food was absolutely amazing and tasty and very reasonably priced. I was really happy with the customer service from ayesha as she gave me a loyalty card which helps me a lot as I usually always go in for the tea. So on my 5th visit I can treat myself to a free tea. (thanks ayesha) ”

“ We had the most delicious and authentic breakfast at My Karak Chai—truly one of the best in Newcastle! The classic Halwa Puri was absolutely fantastic: the puris were light, and the halwa was perfectly sweet. Even our year-old daughter loved the halwa, which is a huge seal of approval! The Karak Chai was robust, hot, and perfectly spiced, making it the ideal accompaniment. Exceptional food combined with great, attentive service made the whole experience wonderful. Highly, highly recommend this spot! ”
