Soho Road is home to some of the best Indian food in Birmingham, and at Karak Chaii, we bring something truly special to the table. Our menu is a celebration of desi flavours inspired by the bustling street food stalls of Mumbai, Lahore, and Delhi, with a modern twist that makes every dish exciting, bold, and unforgettable. From crispy street snacks to comforting daals and curries, spiced fusion dishes to indulgent chai-infused treats, we serve authentic, unapologetic flavour in every bite.

We’ve reimagined the classic breakfast with big, bold desi flavours. Our All Day Breakfast menu takes morning favourites and infuses them with South Asian spices, rich masalas, and perfectly balanced textures. Whether it’s spiced eggs, buttery breads, or a hearty breakfast platter packed with flavour, we make sure your breakfast cravings can be satisfied all day long. As for our Street Food menu, at Karak Chaii, we take authentic street food and add our own modern twist, creating dishes that are perfectly spiced, perfectly crisp, and bursting with flavour. Whether it’s traditional chaat loaded with tamarind chutney and fresh herbs, crispy samosas served on their own or a juicy Butter Chicken Roll, wrapped lovingly in fluffy bread, every dish is crafted to bring you the full street food experience.

You see, we love tradition, but we also love pushing boundaries, and our fusion menu takes classic South Asian flavours and elevates them with a fresh, new twist. We’ve reimagined the English breakfast, traditional toasties, and the humble chicken and chips, blending old school comfort with a modern Karak Chaii edge. Every dish is made to be familiar yet exciting, with deep, slow cooked masalas, rich textures, and an explosion of rich flavour.

Now, we’ve spoken a lot about the thought, passion and tradition behind our food menu, but rest assured, at Karak Chaii, our drinks aren’t just an afterthought. We like to think our diners come for the food and stay for the chai, trying new things on the menu to find a new favourite beverage never tasted before. Our signature Karak Chaii is strong, creamy, and brewed to perfection, infused with a blend of aromatic spices that create the ultimate chai experience. It’s bold, comforting, and made the way chai should be - a true hug in a mug. For those who prefer an extra layer of warmth, the Cinnamon Spice Delight adds a fragrant touch of sweet and spiced cinnamon to our already cosy Karak Chaii, making every sip even more indulgent. And if you’re after something deep and luxurious, our Maple Magic takes our classic Karak Chaii and blends it with pure maple syrup, creating a smooth, rich, and subtly sweet flavoured beverage you’ll adore.

If you’d prefer a more refreshing pick me up, our fruit coolers deliver on flavour and hydration. The Iced Peach Chaii is a perfect blend of juicy peach flavours and smooth chilled chai, offering a fruity and refreshing twist on a classic favourite. For something a little sweeter even, our classic Mango Lassi and Mango and Guava Coolers cool the burning heat and leave you feeling deliciously refreshed. Then, for something truly indulgent, our Faloodas are the ultimate treat. This luxurious blend of sweet basil seeds, silky vermicelli noodles, pistachio syrup, and creamy milk is topped with ice cream, whipped cream, pistachio powder, and soft jelly, creating a mango, pistachio or rose flavoured dessert drink that tastes incredible after your meal.
