On a recent drizzly summer day, the Little Steps team ventured to Chaiwala, a gem of a modern Indian restaurant from Pirata Group.
Descending the steps past the in-house speakeasy bar, Hugger Mugger, which serves as a charming spot for a drink before or after dining, you enter Chaiwala’s warm and inviting ambiance. The restaurant boasts a rich vibrant decor that mirrors the energetic spirit of India, complete with three unique dining areas: the Chai Bar, the Kitchen, and the Dining Hall, with the latter being an ideal setting for large groups due to its expansive central table and striking overhead decorations.
We chose the Dawath Express Lunch Menu, attractively priced at HK$148 per person. This set menu features a selection of vegetarian, fish, lamb, or chicken dishes, accompanied by a curry, dal, basmati rice, naan, raita, lacha pyaz, and the day’s dessert. The servings were generous and each dish was delicious!
Additionally, Chaiwala offers the Flavour Of India lunch menu at HK$288 per person, which includes 60 minutes of unlimited house wines and soft drinks. For an extra HK$180, you can upgrade to champagne!
Our visit also coincided with a birthday celebration, complete with singing and photo opportunities! Book your next lunch here now!
The food was delicious, and the lively atmosphere of the restaurant added to the dining experience! With a diverse menu catering to all preferences, everyone found something to enjoy. The portions were generous, and the prices were very competitive.
Quick or even long (and boozy!) lunches!
Chaiwala also has excellent weekend brunch offerings and a thoughtful kids' menu tailored to younger tastes.
