Reviews for Chai Chenak in New Brunswick, NJ
Ambiance: 5 stars. Beautiful decor. Clean environment. Upstairs has place to sit on floor. Service: 3 stars. Waiters don?t... really seem to care too much. He was borderline rude while taking the order. Never once asked if we needed anything else.Overall service is subpar. Since gratuity is included waiters have nothing to lose. Food: 2 stars. Kabobs were extremely spicy.I love spicy food but this was painfully spicy. Instead of enjoying we were sipping water after each bite. The achari goshtdidn?t taste one bit like achari gosht. It was heavy tomato based and tasted sweet with lots of spice. Doodh patti (milk tea)tasted like they used rotten milk. Probably was cooked in the morning and they just warmed it up. Meat is Halal. Sign clearlydisplayed which is a plus. I do not recommend this place. Read more
Best place to have chai in New Jersey. Chai will always be served in traditional way with pots and its amazing to have... chai. Except chai, the food is always average. I love the karachi style bun with daal but samosas and veg handi wasaverage?. There is no vegetable biryani here which was disappointing?. Food was ok but chai was amazing? Nice ambience andyou ll get some good pictures here?. Only allowed with appointments and also they rush you if you go towards the closingtime. So please plan to take earlier appointments? Read more
Great place, definitely worth a visit! For starters, their pani puri is very tasty, their Kashmiri chai is great too. Also had... the chicken garlic mayo roll, which was perfect, not too saucy and the chicken was well marinated with just enoughflavors. Their chicken karahi is very tasty, full of spices flavor and a smoky taste at end, good for three people. ChickenMakhani handi is sweet and it was okay. Tried the Sindhi biryani too, the biryani was okay, not that flavourful, a bit dry. Fordesserts we tried the shahi falooda, that simply stands up to the hype. Overall a great place for a good meal! The interiorsare pretty. The staff service could be better though. Recommended to go with a reservation. Read more
Awesome great chai karak! Proper milk tea(dood pathi) we (my wife and I yes we are foodies) tried one of every category on the... menu. Garlic Mayo roll , papri chaat, tikka breast , karahi chicken, falooda, and chai with paratha which is super heavy andgarlic naan. Also plan to try the halwa poori on Sunday during our stay we are from dfw texas area. Falooda was a treat but onlything is the kulfi was melted they should serve it ice cold with kulfi in tact. But super flavorful worth trying. Chai comeswith classic pk biscuit also great with the tea. This place is a must to try a1 in food taste. The service is not great butit?s hard finding good help now since no one wants to work in current times. the decor is great we couldn?t get the floor seatup stairs room due to covid restrictions according to the hostess it?s now only for parties 20 or greater. But restaurant decoris nice. Seems too much but that?s how Pakistan is over the top. Visit was on 7.16.22 Read more
One of the best experience I had in NJ. The owner really put his heart and soul to make this place an experience. Food was good... and I enjoyed that they put a separate kitchen for cooking main meal so the smoke doesn't come in the dining area. Somethingother Pakistani restaurants miss focusing on. Only one small tip. Check before ordering Goat Karahai, it may be a lamb meat. Iwould highly recommend the chai as end. Enjoyed every bit of it. Read more
Good food and excellent customer service. I visited Chai Chenak from Philadelphia and I have to say it was worth the drive and... wait. I reserved my spot as I was told it will be busy and yes it was SUPER busy. Mickey was my server and he was great. He madesure food came in on time and provided excellent service. Food is good and I would highly recommend this place if you lovePakistani food. Service was excellent and everyone working there was polite. Go try it out and share your experience. Read more
Good Pakistani restaurant with awesome ambience. You need a reservation to come to this place. Very limited vegetarian options... but good for non-vegetarian. Kashmiri tea is real famous here. Do not take samosas- they are super oily. Overall a good vibe. Read more
Was excited to find this restaurant. I love food from the Middle East. I really enjoy a lot of Indian, Afghan, and Pakistan... dishes and tea. I arrived around 4:15 on a rainy Saturday. The place was busy but there was no wait. The service was excellent.Food came out at a great pace. I'm ordered chicken chasri karhai, Aloo Parathas, and masala chai. Everything was excellent andreasonably priced. I would definitely recommend eating here. I can't wait to bring my son and daughter they will love it. Read more
