Customer Review Summary
Tea draws the most praise at Karak & Co., with reviewers pointing to the karak chai, desi chai and pink tea as full of flavour and brewed just right. One reviewer prefers the Moroccan tea with honey and lemon, and another calls the tea rich and smooth. Close behind are the milkshakes, including a cake rusk milkshake and the ones a family's nieces and nephew loved, along with the strawberry daiquiri, nimbu paani and fresh cakes and desserts. Reviewers repeatedly describe friendly, welcoming staff behind the counter, and one says the premises were very clean. Several mention being served in the car. A single reviewer who ordered pink tea and karak chai found them warm and nice but rated the visit only average. One visitor who asked the counter to make a dessert of their choosing says it was unlike anything they had tried before, and a reviewer travelling from Luton says the place is so hidden away that they had never noticed it.

“We recently stopped by Karak & Co while on a chauffeuring job, visiting from Birmingham. While waiting for the groom, we decided to nip out for a proper cuppa and tried both the desi chai and the pink tea. Both were spot on – full of flavour and brewed just right. Big shoutout to Abas and Aayan – top lads, proper sound and made us feel well looked after. Great service all round!”
