Chaiiwala® - Preston

Preston's early risers have a secret weapon for those mornings when only a proper desi breakfast will do. Chaiiwala® has become something of a local institution, serving up its signature chai and breakfast favourites from its spot in the city. With a spotless food hygiene rating and a reputation built on freshly brewed karak chai and generous portions, this place has earned its loyal following among students, commuters and anyone who takes their morning meal seriously.

The menu reads like a greatest hits of Indian street food meets British breakfast. Their招牌 masala omelette rolls are a thing of beauty – fluffy eggs wrapped in paratha with a kick of green chilli. The bunny chow, a hollowed-out bread loaf filled with curry, is a proper South African-Indian crossover that's become a cult favourite here. Everything comes served with their famous chai, brewed strong with cardamom and served in those iconic little clay cups. Order ahead online to skip the queue during the morning rush – they're open for breakfast through to late afternoon, so you've got plenty of time to get your fix.
