Chaiiwala is a fast-casual café serving Indian and South Asian street food, specialty tea, and desserts. Its menu includes slow-brewed karak chaii, samosa chaat, wraps, naan, and gulab jamun.

The brand was founded in 2015 in Leicester, England. Its founders wanted to introduce the spiced tea they knew from family kitchens and South Asian roadside cafés to British customers. The original concept focused on karak chaii prepared with whole milk, cardamom, ginger, and traditional spices.

Chaiiwala later developed a broader street-food menu while retaining its focus on freshly brewed tea. The business introduced a franchise system that combines South Asian breakfast dishes, casual meals, and beverages in a café setting designed for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery.
