About Chai Guys Diner
Chai Guys Diner is a breakfast restaurant on Prospect Buildings in Nelson, set up as an old school cafe style shop with seating on site. The desi breakfast, including breakfast options 1 and 2, comes with parata, either home made or ready made. Chai is a regular order alongside it, and the menu also lists samosas, chana, halwa and paratha. There are no bookings to make, as the diner runs on a walk-in basis, and it opens daily. Those eating on the move can order takeaway or delivery, and leftovers can be boxed up to take home.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the desi breakfast, praising a generous portion and a homemade paratha, with the chana and halwa plate and a cup of chai named alongside it. Close behind, the chai itself draws praise as the best some have had, and samosas get a mention as a favourite. Many describe the prices as affordable and the service as kind, and a few call the place clean and calm. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says the order arrived different from what was advertised and the woman serving was rude, while another was overcharged after staff misread the menu, though it was sorted. A returning visitor says quality and quantity dropped and felt charged for items that are complimentary elsewhere, and one reviewer found the keema paratha unspiced and oily and was charged for a broken pot. One reviewer says it was closed at ten despite listed morning hours, and another notes there are no high chairs for kids. One family, too full from two desi breakfasts, was handed a box for the leftovers.

“Incredible food, delicious bread and great chai! Really friendly staffwho served us. And amazing value! We ordered two Desi breakfasts (1 & 2) and it was too much food for me, my husband and our 5 years old, but we were given a box to take our leftovers away. We’ll be back!”
