Chai Baba - Haledon

Awesome place. Superb people. Wonderful ambience. Splendid food tea. Best Pakistani food place been to.

The chicken tikka was fantastic—full of flavor and quite rich with spices, which I actually enjoyed. The chili chicken wings were incredible, striking a perfect balance between spicy and sweet. However, the chicken lollipops could have been improved with the same sauce that the wings had, as they were a bit dry and lacked flavor. The virgin mojitos were definitely on the sweeter side, reminiscent of soda. As for the mango lassi, it was decent; not amazing, but not terrible either.

The decor of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful! I found the chicken tikka sandwich to be decent, but the masala fries were delicious. However, I was not a fan of the samosa, as it was filled with cumin seeds. The falooda shake was good, but it could be improved with real falooda toppings. One major issue was the lack of a physical menu. We were told that the only way to view the menu was by scanning a QR code. While this is a nice feature for the digital age, my phone unfortunately died, and I had to wait for my husband to arrive to place my order. This was quite inconvenient. I really think they should have at least one printed menu available.

I ordered the chicken Karahi and absolutely loved it. The ambiance is really pleasant, and the service is great as well.

The website indicated that the restaurant was open, but when I arrived, it was closed. Please update the information so that others don’t waste their time!
