Halal Reviews for Masala Chai Nashta Forest Gate

Travelled quite a bit after seeing this on Instagram few days ago, on the website and google it said that it opens at 9.15, when we got there it was closed, we waited for 5 minutes and it was still closed, we tried calling the number on google and no one was answering, we waited a little longer and was about to give up and walked away, after looking back a few minutes later they opened at 9.30, if they’re late they should’ve put a sign on the shop. The food was nice and very hot (temperature) when it arrived. Food took roughly 15 minutes to arrive after we ordered, we started eating and after few minutes realised we didn’t get the keema side that we ordered, they had forgotten about it, when it arrived we was very disappointed, taste wise it was nice, but they charged us £4 for a very tiny bowl, it was not worth that price considering that the whole breakfast meal cost £10.95 which included the karak coffee too. The coffee was nice but it left a little aftertaste in the month and tongue after each sip. The cafe is a good size with lots of seating area and staff gave good service.

Lovely staff - I've never waited long for food but go in weekdays, 10 minutes for this? Imo quick. Such tasty fresh food, very fair value for what you receive. Most reliable in the area

The meal was enjoyable, particularly the paratha and omelette, and the chai was delicious. The only issue I had was that the menu is not clearly labelled. For example, we wanted masala potatoes with our desi nashta but were told that this was only available on the weekend.

I run a seniors club @ south woodford islamic center. I ordered masalla egg with roti and masalla tea.our seniors really enjoyed the breakfast. Will be ordering again as a monthly.

Come here regularly with my whole family. Lovely friendly people and a great environment for families. The food is great and consistent. It tastes the same everytime we come.
