About Chini Chor
On Bath Road in Hounslow, Chini Chor is a vegetarian restaurant serving an entirely meat-free menu alongside a sweet counter and boxed food hampers to take away. The counter covers papri chaat, samosas, aalu paratha, and chhole bhature, with chaat and samosas served alongside chutneys including imli. Paneer dosa, paneer tikka roll, and chilli paneer round out the range. Food is prepared fresh once an order is placed. There is no dine-in seating, so orders are placed at the counter for collection, and Uber also carries orders out for delivery. Parking near the shop is difficult, and reviewers point to public transport as an easier way to reach it.

Customer Review Summary
Papri chaat draws the most attention, split sharply between diners who found it soggy or dry with no chutney and those praising other dishes entirely. Positive reviewers single out aalu paratha with crispy, flavorful filling, a paneer dosa made exactly as requested, and a takeaway order of vada pav and paneer tikka roll that arrived warm and well packed, alongside praise for the tea. Against that, recurring complaints describe declined quality: rubbery paneer, a vinegary Gobi Manchurian, thinner dhal, and bulk samosas reported as overly spiced with raw chilli powder that made people feel sick. Several describe arguments with staff over mistakes, including a chhole bhature order missing a spoon and salad, and one reviewer reports finding a hair in their chaat and being accused of planting it before staff offered to remake the dish. Parking is also flagged as difficult to find.

“We used to eat here (Hounslow west) as a family all the time when it was dine in. And it was the best place around by far. I recently came back to the area, and decided to get food. The place has either changed ownership, or they no longer care. I have to say It has gone downhill. The quality , that taste, The staff. The Paneer is rubbery. The Gobi Manchurian has no texture to it, and is very vinegary. It’s like mash-I wonder if they’re using frozen, because the inside is not hot at all. And the dhal is not as thick as it used to be. It tastes okay. But just okay. I am shocked by how awful the food is, compared to what it used to be”

“Quality declined like anything. Used to visit Chini Chor several years back where the quality was good. But recent days utterly poor their food quality is. Ordered samosas in bulk to give it to school and children. When distributed samosas everyone complied it is extremely spicy and they felt sick. We tasted it and felt the same. Felt taste of raw red chilli powder and whole coriander seeds. Chutney provided was too spicy too except the imily chutney. Not going to order hearafter to them. I can understand why they stopped serving food there. With this poor quality they are better to do only sweets and not any other food.”
