House of chai (bolton)

First of all let's talk about the presentation 😍 everything was presented so well and organised making the dishes look even more appealing! They also tasted just as good as it looks.

The French toast platter is a new item and such a great idea as you get a variety of toppings so perfect to share around! The French toast itself was nice and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle 👌🏽

The steak eggs benedict is also one to try, steak cooked to how you like with the that hollandaise sauce! Another hit was the mac and cheese 😍 and ontop of that brisket! Perfect combo!

Lets not forget about the in house fruit patisserie made fresh! We really enjoyed the strawberry and mango the flavours really came through!

I gave 4 star for food because I included drinks in this category. Their Hot drinks are not great and we have tried lots of them but the food - WOW! 10 out of 10 for taste and for presentation. We had brunch / lunch and ordered a cheesesteak, eggs Benedict which comes w/ Steak strips and the Dynamite Prawns. All of the Dessert we tried were also amazing!

Travelled up from London to Manchester for the weekend with the family. Glad we found this place for brunch. Was not expecting anything brilliant however was really surprised at how good the food was. Big portion sizes for the kids too. Maybe a little too gormet for kids. Now I’m too full and sleepy for the long drive back to London.

Saturday 6pm
The restaurant was fairly empty (only three tables occupied) and the décor was lovely, but the service was poor.
We drove an hour for the Winter Special menu. After ordering, we waited 40 minutes to be told all advertised soups were unavailable and got a basic tomato soup instead. Cutlery had to be requested twice as no spoons for the soup.
Mains arrived very slowly and separately: lamb biryani (with a nice fire display), chicken Alfredo, and a spicy buttermilk burger. However, the kids’ bambino burger never arrived, which upset my 7 year old. When enquired, the boy serving vanished; a young girl took over (she was very polite and professional), and later a gentleman possibly the manager tried to resolve the issue, he apologised and offered mocktails and desserts as compensation but no real explanation.
We were running late, so desserts were packed. They had no baklava, waffles, or pancakes, and the complementary fudge cake & brownie were stale and very disappointing. However, the French toast & apple crumble were average.
Mocktails were nice.

After travelling so far, long waits, missing meals, and disorganisation made this visit very disappointing. We won’t be returning.

Excellent food. Well worth the money. Second time here will definitely be coming back again with more friends and family. Both times i have been served by Muskaan. She is such a lovely waitress always serving with a smile and also answers any questions about the menu confidently. My toddler also grew fond of her! Cant wait to visit again and try more items onthe menu.
