Become a part of one of the fastest growing, most talked about brands around.

chaiiwala is a fast growing brand serving a variety of chaii and urban style Indian street food. It is one of the UK’s leading fast casual dining restaurants today which has balanced tradition with the growing consumer need for aspirational, fresh and exciting food with a story.

What started as an eatery paying homage to traditional Indian street food is now an iconic brand with a real standing within every community we serve.  

Our menu takes you on a journey to the heart of the East. Led by our Karak Chaii, we offer you breakfast, lunch and all-day snacks at prices to suit a wide demographic.

The ever improving product range has enticed our customers to visit us multiple times a week, thus taking an increasing market share from traditional high street coffee shops/cafés and becoming a meeting point with a difference. We launched our new loyalty App in July 2024 to offer our customers a more convenient and personalised ordering experience and reward their loyalty with additional offers and deals

We now have a portfolio of 108 stores in the UK, 24 in Canada and 3 in Dubai since we began our journey in 2015.  Projected 250 locations over the next five years. Limited territories available in the UK.

International expansion

We are currently looking to develop our network globally starting with opportunities in the Middle East, US, Canada and Europe.

The chaiiwala brand has huge global demand across numerous platforms:

• shopping malls
• high streets
• drive thru
• retail parks/plaza
• university campuses
• travel hubs (airports etc)
• hospitals
• exhibition centres

The perfect global partners are vital to grow our brand across the world as we believe our people are our largest asset. Ideal locations being sought to build in sizes 1500 - 2500sqft.

Typical store models

• Drive thru - In 2022 we launched the UK’s first ‘drive thru’ style store for Indian street food in Bolton. We’ve named this format “chaiiwala drive thru”. We added another 100 seater drive-thru in Mellorbrook July 2024. As consumers have come to rely on their daily chaii fix, this format of chaiiwala store has seen a lot of interest too. Look out for more of our drive thru stores around the UK in all major cities over the next 12-24 months.
• Airports - We now have lift-off as a food operator in airports with our first store in London Luton Airport which launched in August 2024. This was followed by Birmingham Airport in 2024. These stores are part of our strategic move into travel hubs across the UK and world.
• Express stores - At the end of 2021, we launched our first ‘kiosk’ style store in a service station. We’ve named this format ‘chaiiwala express”. Our menu offering has been streamlined to align with those on the move and help us serve other similar sectors such as travel hubs, exhibitions, and services. As consumers have come to rely on their daily chaii fix, this format of store has seen a lot of interest from venues with heavy moving footfall.

Ideal partners

In an ideal world we would like franchise partners with experience in the food industry, however, those who are running their own businesses would also align with our needs.

We are looking for passionate people who understand the brand and willing to take that extra step and run their own business.
