Chapati & Karak Knightsbridge

A nicely "Qatari" cafe, with Arabic decor reminiscent of older street-side rest houses. The furnishings are respectable and crafted, a small floor seating area with wall cushions remind me traditional living rooms. The welcome is good. The food is Indian with a Qatari twist according to the waiter; this twist appears to mean less flavour and effort. I had a Keema Chapati. Simple, small portions; a light mincemeat and peas wrap, with Knightsbridge prices. My wife has an Aloo Paratha...rather ordinary and plain. It wouldn't have take much to make these much better; a hint of raw onion, a selection of sauces, perhaps an offer of chilli oil. The Karak chai is authentic Indian and good. Overall food is nothing that would bring me back here, but I like the Arabic memories and the atmosphere.

Nice place to have this kind of Middle Eastern Asian mixed cuisine. Loved the ambience. Food taste very good.

I had chai at Chapati & Karak London the day before yesterday in the evening — and it completely blew me away. It was honestly the best chai I’ve ever had in my life. The flavor was so deep and rich, perfectly balanced with the right amount of spice, sweetness, and creaminess. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I went back again last night just to have another cup — and it was just as amazing! The aroma of cardamom, the smooth texture, and the warmth in every sip make it such a memorable experience. You can tell they really know how to make proper chai — not just a drink, but an emotion. It reminded me of the kind of chai you crave on a cozy evening or after a long day, something that instantly lifts your mood. The café itself has a warm, inviting vibe, with friendly staff and a clean, comfortable setting. Their chapatis and snacks are also great — but the chai is the real star here. If you love chai, you absolutely must try this place. I’ve tried chai from so many cafés around the world, but nothing compares to the one at Chapati & Karak London. I’m already planning to go back again soon — it’s that good!
