Overview
Chaiiwala at Springfield Quay is the Glasgow Quay branch of the Leicester-born Indian street-food café chain (Rowda Group), which has been brewing karak chai since 2015 and now has well over a hundred UK stores. Expect slow-brewed chai, desi all-day breakfasts, Wala wraps, lunch bowls, Bombay toasties, street-food plates and kids’ options rather than a formal curry house. This branch sits in Unit D2 at The Quay leisure complex on Paisley Road, Kinning Park, and is open daily from 9:30am to 11pm. Order in-store, via the Chaiiwala app/rewards scheme, or for delivery. It is a casual café stop for shoppers and cinema-goers at the Quay rather than a book-ahead dinner.

We had the english-ish and Indian breakfast. Both were delicious and left nothing to desire. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful recommending tea and bread variations for our dishes. Gave out free samples for tea to taste as well!
Read on Google MapsAmbiance is fine. But the food should improve a bit. Frozen parathas were served, wasn’t expecting that. The food was okay.
Read on Google MapsEDIT: little brother went in on the 16 of August at around 10 35 PM person behind the till dropped hot boiling tea on his hand and said “we dont have napkins” defo will not be returning to this horrific joint who have 0 professional skills ir customer management absolute failure!!!! Will be complaining to higher franchise management! Prices are too high order was wrong first time vibrant interior food and tea where average quality crums on tables was a big put off staff should clean especially when its not busy. Can do much better very disappointing not worth the money
Read on Google MapsI reviewed this place before, Thanks to all the foodies, got tremendous response and viewing the photos on record break level, however, today's visit is absolutely disappointing. Ordered Chicken tikka Kebab Roll, Aloo tikki burger and twister roll, mango lassi, mango maccha and non sugar karak chai, photos says it all, absolutely shambles food, I can understand prices are up but when you are served £4.75 aloo tikki burger in the bun, bought from some corner shop, it really shows the product quality is going down. Really I felt so sorry. Though guy from the counter got me another one ( different bun looks like) good gesture but completely didn't achieve the customer service targets. No plans of me to return in near future at least. Sorry to say if Chaiwala management doesn't wake up and hire smiling counter staff, chef who follows recipes within their standards, it's not going to look on their reputation.
