The 30 Best Chai in Manchester

“✨Amazing Indian Vegetarian / Vegan Cafe✨ We visited for the first time today as my partner is obsessed with Chai at the moment. For drinks I had the biscoff coffee shake which was sensational, the coffee wasn’t too overpowering and the roast / blend choice was delicious. My partner had the home brewed Masala Chai which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the pot of tea he received was massive! (We stayed a bit longer just so he could finish it as it was that good) For mains we had the Indian breakfast muffin (vegan sausage, Indian spiced hash browns, and a bbq tamarind chutney) and the Chai Buckwheat pancakes which came with syrup and berries. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich, the chutney was amazing and really pulled everything together. Though I didn’t try the pancakes they were gone within minutes. Both me and my partner agreed portion sizes were bob on, we felt full without feeling overly lethargic. Though we didn’t have the opportunity to try them the cakes and Indian deli looked delicious. Our entire meal with drinks cost under £20 which I think is ridiculously reasonably priced considering the quality and portion sizes of the food and drink. (Not to mention the very quick service!) It is also worth noting they seemed to have an extensive ice cream range. All staff were super friendly, the woman serving us really seemed to care about our experience there and we were given customer service you can’t simply buy without there being a true passion for what she was serving. I would highly recommend dining here, and we look forward to visiting again.”

“The food was very good and not too salty. It was just the perfect taste and the service was really good as well.”

“The most perfect little Disney themed cafe you will find. The staff are lovely the place looks great and the prices are amazing. They have a huge amount of coffee flavours and lots of delicious food. Its definitely worth popping in and having a bash.”

“What can I say! I’ve been coming daily to Kickback for my morning coffee for over three years. The coffee is excellent, that’s a given. It’s meeting Saskia, Harvey, Toby and Chris that makes me want to go daily. They make a great team - everyone is made to feel welcome and special. They work incredibly hard and are a credit to the wider Kickback team. If I could give 6 stars I would!”

“Great service and food, very attentive and friendly staff. We were a table of 6 and all had different meals, everything came out together and all thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“We called in for the first time on Saturday morning and were really impressed by the quality of the food and drinks on offer and the standard of the service. One of the best cups of coffee available!”

“Excellent friendly welcome, the owner took our order. We had to wait for our starters which meant they were freshly prepared (the restaurant was quiet with it being during the week), some restaurants just warm up the starters but not here! We really enjoyed our starters. The main courses arrived & were excellent! Also desserts were good and we ate everything. My wife enjoyed her wine and I had an excellent ice cold pint of water!(I was driving). Top marks for everything here. They are very child friendly too. Our waiter was extremely friendly and the owner was too! We will be back!”

“Wonderful coffee, comfortable and inviting surroundings and friendly staff. I could tell that many customers were regulars even though it was my first visit. Lots of board games, which I see from other reviews is a Thing here. I'll definitely be coming back.”

“Great authentic food and great price. Thank you”

“Went for brunch and it's such a cute little cafe, really friendly staff. I have the special Turkish scrambled egg and it was so good! I would definitely recommend it. Really nice food and reasonably priced. I also had the art of tea blend and it was good but a bit too floral for me, but still good. They have some really good food and drink options.”

“Excellent... really enjoyed an evening here on a recent visit... fine service and menu.”

“Delicious food, I always feel like I'm in a different country when I get food from here. The food is always perfect, every grain of rice is visible and delicious, the lamb with okra is my favourite.”

“Great value for money, tarka dahl is great, as is everything else! These guys really care about their customers and are super friendly and welcoming. We've been a few times and will definitely be coming back.”

“Excellent place for curries. Great atmosphere with exceptional customer service by the team. Curries were outstanding. Reccomend everyone to try the batera (quail) my next dish is going to be the popular king prawn dish. Excellent seating areas for families and private parties.”

“Zurich and the rest is it for me too much to do you need me too much to do you with my love you love me too much love to you both so you have a lovely time in your head and I will be in the office today and I will be in touch soon so we will have to get to see what I want a bit more things like this time and then go back home to get a good time ⌚ and then go back home to”

“Best burger and cheesy chips I’ve ever had! Lovely little place, would definitely go back! Our waitress grace gave excellent service too! Great value for money too! Totally recommend!”

“Food was all lovely and fresh. I had the butter chicken Bombay bowl which was incredible and such a large portion I couldn’t finish it! My boyfriend had the mixed meat kebab and masala chips - he really enjoyed both, especially the chips. First time trying Chaiiwala and definitely won’t be our last visit.”

“Hello, We ordered food for my son's birthday party. The food was delicious, and everyone loved it. It was delivered on time, and the staff were lovely. There was so much food for everyone. I highly recommend them for parties. PS: Chicken Biryani and Chicken lollipop were yummy, but Parotta and chicken curry were the stars of the day. Thanks, Kuttanad Taste, for making our memory more special.”

“Great food, generous portions & very friendly service. If you like Punjabi/Lahori style cooking you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended. 10/10.”
