Naan Staap® - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

3 /5 Ali S: A completely less than average experience. We stopped by after an appointment at the nearby hospital, got two karak teas and a chicken cheese naan (around £12 total). The teas were pleasant. The naan took a while to make - after ten minutes we asked the lady behind the counter how long and she said 10-15 minutes! For a naan that is crazy, makes me think it is pre made and cooked from frozen. Then when the food finally arrived, we were the only ones in the shop and she called the order out, for us to collect it from the counter. There is literally no service here - minimal unhelpful interaction. The naan itself was super greasy and you could not taste any chicken whatsoever.

5 /5 Ahmad Nizam (Niz_45): Peri Peri Chicken Naan and Chicken Qeema Masala Naan was yummy! Freshly made, crispy and fulfilling! Mango Lassi was also good. Staff was friendly. Would definitely come back again!

5 /5 Toddy Peters: We had been on our way to get take away kebab rolls from Tayyabs, which is our go-to place in the area. However, it was raining and miserable and we didnt fancy eating out in the rain. I hate eating in at Tayyabs but thats another review, so we saw this interesting looking place with amazing looking karak chai in the window so we ducked in. It was quite empty when we arrived and we had a ponder and ordered a stuffed bread each and a couple of chai. We were 4 people and we had the achari chicken naan, potato and cheese naan, lamb qeema masala naan and lamb dum paratha. We tried both the masala and karak chai, and it was great there are full flavour, less sugar and no sugar options! We had the less sugar, and it was plenty sweet enough! Theres a clean loo and nice clean tables and booths. We were still hungry so ordered a portion of bhatura, which is 3 pieces and only £1.95! We had channay, with egg on top, but the flavour wasnt one we were used to, so that was the only dish we werent so keen on. To finish, we had to try the karak maska, which wasnt on the menu, but we saw it on a screen advert, which was clotted cream sandwiched between 2 pieces of brioche bread loaf, and a cutting chai cupful of karak chai to pour over the top. You then eat with a spoon. Utterly divine! Would highly recommend and would also go out of my way to go here. There are a few branches around London, but none really in convenient locations to me, just like with some of the other mini chains of desi places. :( The service was very polite and super patient with the inevitable uncle complaining about the cost of a cup of chai, but seriously the quality of the chai was top notch, possibly made with condensed milk, and so delicious and mouth watering, I couldnt fault it at all.

1 /5 Zannat FHX: Awful experience. The main door is broken and doesnt shut properly, so the entire store is freezing, especially in mid-December. There was no heating, and it was extremely uncomfortable inside. The tables were also very dirty and stained, which made the place feel unhygienic. I also ordered a karak chai which used to be around £1.50, but I was charged £3.20 for a medium. That price increase is unbelievable and doesnt match the quality or experience. Really disappointing.
