Quick info
About Chaiiwala
Chaiiwala is an Indian cafe and tea house in Blackburn, at 97 Whalley Range. The business is also classed as an Indian restaurant, so it covers three formats: cafe, tea house and restaurant. Dogs are welcome, which means owners can bring their pets along rather than leave them at home. That gives anyone out with a dog a tea house they can visit together, with no need to arrange for someone else to mind the pet.
