Southall is known as the Little India of London, a destination for those who crave authentic Indian flavours and the warm embrace of traditional South Asian dining. If you’re searching for the best Indian restaurant in Southall, you don’t need to look any further than Karak Chaii.

Combining the sights, smells and sounds of our travels with a passion for authentic flavour, at Karak Chaii, every dish on our menu has been carefully curated to honour the traditions of Indian street food while bringing a fresh and exciting twist to classic flavours. Unlike anywhere else, Karak Chaii is a love letter to Indian food and culture. We don’t just serve Indian food; we serve memories, traditions, and passion through layered dishes and authentic flavors. Every dish is prepared with the same heart and soul found in the bustling streets of Mumbai, Lahore, and Delhi, giving you an authentic experience from one of the finest Indian restaurants in Southall.

Our menu is a true celebration of tradition, heritage, and spice, designed to transport you to the heart of South Asian cuisine from the moment you step foot into the restaurant. With delicious All Day Breakfast options and a delightful selection of classic Street Food, you’ll have plenty to choose from.

Our chaat and street food selection is a feast for the senses, packed with layers of flavour and texture. The Samosa Chaat combines crispy samosas with tangy tamarind chutney, cooling yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh coriander for the perfect bite: a real taste of India. If you’re after something with a spicy kick, our Masala Chips take golden, crispy fries and coat them in a fiery masala seasoning that’s seriously addictive. Other favourites include our Karachi Bun Kebab, our take on a desi-style burger, loaded with a spiced patty, chutneys, and onions, delivering a rich, tasty punch in every bite. Or the Karachi Bun Kebab, a mutton kebab topped with our masala omelette, onion and green chutney sandwiched between a toasted bun.

Also on the menu, enjoy the satisfying crunch of our Gol Goppe: crispy-fried puffed ball filled with potato, chickpeas, onions, spices, and tamarind water. If you’ve never had these before, you MUST try them. For something authentically Indian, found on the streets for the perfect snack, our Pav Bhaji is a beloved classic of spiced bhali served alongside crunchy onions and a slice of lemon, as well as perfect sharing bites such as Pakora Bites, Chili Paneer and a Samosa Cone.

As one of Southall’s best Indian restaurants, we can promise more than just great food, but signature drinks too! Of course, with great spice comes delicate balance, so for something refreshing, our Mango Lassi is the creamiest blend of sweet mango and creamy yogurt, perfect for cooling down after a spicy meal. For something a little more aromatic, our signature Karak Chaii is brewed to perfection, striking the ideal balance of strong tea, warming spices, and just the right amount of sweetness. For a more delicate and creamy option, our Pink Chaii, also known as Kashmiri chaii, is beautifully rich with a subtle nutty taste and a hint of cardamom.

Other favourites include our Iced Karak Chaii, Limbu Pani with popping bubbles, and Pistachio and Rose Falloodas: a pistachio or rose dessert drink with crunchy sweet basil seeds, silky noodles, syrup and milk topped with ice cream, cream, pistachio powder and jelly. Perfect for when you can’t decide between a sweet drink and a delicious dessert.

Located at 95 The Broadway, Southall, our Southall Indian restaurant is in a fantastic location, perfect for grabbing a delicious chaii to go, popping in for a bite and a chat, or picking up to go. Just a short stroll from our location, you'll find the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, one of the largest Sikh temples outside India, as well as the Southall Market nearby.
