Reviews For TDC (Tandoori Desi Chai)

Muhammad Mehmood

I popped in yesterday for a quick bite and a cup of karak chai. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which made a nice difference. Service was quick, the food was tasty and fairly priced, and the chai was just what I needed. There’s plenty of paid parking around, so getting there was easy. A decent spot if you’re nearby and want something quick without any fuss. I’d happily go back.

The food and tea served were delicious. It is located at a 5-minute walk from the centre:mk mall and one can find plenty of parking options nearby. The staff was helpful but the service seemed a bit slow despite the restaurant not being fully crowded. It was still a good experience and certainly recommended for anyone looking for desi food at affordable prices.

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was flavorful, well-presented, and made with fresh ingredients. There was a good variety on the menu, catering to different tastes and dietary needs. Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection and served at the right temperature. Best of them is nihari , i really loved it and i am sharing pictures of nihari as well

Had qeema with parathas and chana with parathas, 2 karak chai. Enjoyed food. Only problem was cleanliness. Tables should be cleaned as soon as customers leave. There was tea spill under a table that wasn't cleaned right away. Also spotted few fruit flies. Staff was good & polite and they took the feedback positively.
