Chaiiwala - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Mahliqa After a long day moving house in the heat, we were hoping for a hearty meal. We ordered jollof rice, egusi with fufu, and pepper soup. The jollof? Meh - bland and stingy on the portion. The egusi? V.oily but full of flavour - honestly the star of the show. But then came the meat situation. Each dish had one real piece of meat. The rest? .. Unchewable slabs of skin and fat masquerading as food (pictured) - the disrespect. I get that cow skin is a thing but this one clearly missed its softening appointment. Atmosphere-wise, the music was club-level loud. We couldnt hear the staff, and they couldn’t hear us. Cleanliness was questionable (sticky tables), and the vibe among staff was more house party than hospitality. I won’t be back, but shoutout to the egusi for carrying the whole night. 2/5 for that alone.

Joyce Halsall Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. The unique ambience and decoration was a treat. Good food and friendly helpful staff

Emma Boyle Really delicious food and our server, Slim, was incredibly passionate about the food with an emphasis on everything being made in house. Slim was very funny and made you feel like you were at home. Everything was reasonably priced and fresh. We will be back!

Jimin Ordered the Chicken Biryani with Meatball Sauce for just 7 pounds (very cheap). It was absolutely delicious with very large portions too. Staff was friendly too. Highly recommend.

J Palmero Lunch on a sunday. Loved the calamari, curry and their veggie wok rice. The fallen pornstar drink was very tasty!
