Auntie's Chai Khana in Barking and Dagenham

The saag and makhai ki roti was really delicious. All homemade and absolutely tasty. Portion size was decent.

Absolutely brilliant hidden little gem - great punjabi food. Halwa puri , samosa chaat and so much more. Definitely recommend. Came again and the standard hasn't gone down. Highly recommend to come for karak, punjabi chai or naashta and light snacks

Food was very delicious and staff was so kind ❤️

Hidden Gem Alert! We recently visited this restaurant and were delighted by the incredible food. We ordered a variety of traditional family comfort dishes, including aloo paratha, chhole bhature, samosa chaat, bread pakoda, and noodles, and each one was absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on, and every dish brought back memories of home-cooked meals. A special mention goes to the mango lassi – it was perfect! Not too sweet, with a light and refreshing texture that made it just right. The curd was incredibly light and balanced. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic, flavorful food. Will definitely be back!. The owner and staff were really welcoming and helpful.

It was really nice breakfast i love alu paratha i cant finsh full its really big size with homemade yogurt with batter and achar so big porshan and price is resizable i like sweek lassi aswell my husband like masala chaii full feel dessi tast

I celebrated my birthday here very tasty food !!!

Amazing experience we had, good hospitality and excellent service. The food was speechless, and I felt like I was at home. Please do visit and have this authentic North Indian foods and chai🥰🥰😋

Amazing food, everything is great. I like the atmosphere in the place, they play traditional music which really gives you the South Asian vibes. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The owner is awesome, me and friends visited and we all took pictures together. I work near, and this is my spot, where I have lunch, so I highly recommend this place.

The owner lady doesn't treat her employees well and constantly screams at her staff. She will sometimes force you to try more items and it becomes a pain when she is constantly interrupting a conversation by trying to upsell a meal. Please let the customer decide. Food is okay but the feel sorry for the staff who are mostly students.

Halwa very tasty, all was wonderful.😄

Excellent service and excellent food, really enjoyed the breakfast halwa puri with choley.

Incredible food with restaurant level quality that also tastes beautifully home-made. One of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had. I strongly recommend this to everyone.

Great service and food Lovely staff. Must visit

I had a range of incredible dishes, which had a home-cooked feel. The chilli paneer and choley bhatura were a real highlight! Please visit 🙌

Very lovely staff. JV was there to help us choose from the menu. She is lovely and very friendly. The food was really good. So fresh and just reminded me of mums home cooked meals. We tried choola batora and mouli paratha and both were fresh and delicious. 5 star from us

Found this place while searching for Punjabi food. Very impressed with the quality of food and service. Food tasted like a homely meal, with just the right amount of oil and spices. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for authentic punjabi food. Will be visiting again for sure 👍

Amazing place, JV was so awesome looked after us totally. Food was fabulous

Amazing food, reminds me of my home food. Hats off to the lovely ladies running absolutely great business and cooking delicious meals. I would love to come visit again and you all whoever is reading this don’t hesitate just go and enjoy the comfort food 😉😁

Food was just ok and not so delicious. Pakoda was too oily and looked reheated that we didn't even dare to eat. Chai is very watery. Paranthas were ok. Noodles were too salty, and so much soy sauce was added. I don't recommend

Chai is amazing wayyyy better than Chaiwala. Jv is amazing with a bubbly personality!! 10/10

Amazing Tea with great customer service! Had the Punjabi chai first time as recommended and it was great!

Super friendly and amazing service, best chai I’ve ever had!

Best food and taste aam ka achaar mja hi aa gya best service good quality and taste must visit gyuz

The food is really tasty here and the deal on the weekends fills you up! Love the puri and choley with halwa.

Ordered the weekend special (Halwa Puri and Choley) for less than a tenner, more than enough for two of us to share. Service was very good, the owner made a conscious effort to check on us as soon as she had an opportunity. Recommended!!!

I would highly recommend this restaurant for a Lovely place to eat, me my Mum niece and nephew had a really good evening.

Food was tasty, service was brilliant ambience was peaceful with perfect music. Love being here. Recommend

Delisious food and Amazing staff., great atmosphere.

Delicious food!!! Tea is freshly made with whole milk nothing from pre mix Well done

I eat lot of Halwa Puri and I must say this is one of the best non oily puri and no greasy halwa must try

The most authentic Indian food I’ve tasted outside of India, right here in East London! We’ve been searching for a place that’s both hearty and affordable for ages, and this spot is worth every minute of the one-hour journey it takes to get here. The owner welcomed us with such warmth and affection, sharing stories about how the food is prepared daily with care—it truly felt like home!

Very good service and awesome food.

Nice place for vegetarians who like indian desi food.

Auntie chai khana their service is very kind and caring. The food very yum yum best taste very very clean and the shop Very beautiful warming place the boss is very kind and give best service everyone must come to Auntie chai khana

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very accommodating. JV was an amazing host - will be back soon! Highly recommend the chickpea curry and bhatura

Best chai 🫶❤️ We love a lot …. Best service

Lovely authentic restaurant! Parathas especially we’re very good. We also tried the Halwa, Puri and Chloe which was good, the choke came out cold but they very quickly rectified and returned piping hot. Music choice was fab creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere. I would advise switching to disposable paper menus to avoid the dirty, sticky menus which was disappointing. Overall I would return, especially for the parathas.

Very tasty I tried chole bhature nd cheese parantha my kids also like very delicious Indian food

We were out grocery shopping in the area, and suddenly saw this Veg Restaurant, so decided to go and try. Must say the food was truiy amazing. The staff were very courteous and Owner was so friendly and welcoming. We will not hesitate to say we will now go there regularly...Overall 5 out of 5 for food and hospitality and service..

Wow after a long time I have found this restaurant. Reminds of Home made mums food. The Punjabi Halwa is to die for. Good and smily staff and service.highly recommend this restaurant.

I have recently moved into this area and was looking for authentic punjabi food Finally I found this restaurant that serves amazing super delicious food I got to meet the owner as I wanted to thank her for the food and to my surprise she is drop dead gorgeous beautiful young girl All the best JV may you reach heights of success

Delicious food definitely coming back again

Amazing customer service, great atmosphere and a most wonderful host.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. This is the first time we visited and had tea. We loved the tea

Wowwww really nice choley & bhatura

Saag and Makkey ki roti is the best in LONDON Brilliant and kudos to the owner who is running this show Well done

Great atmosphere and genuinely authentic Indian Punjabi food - as good as it tastes when I have enjoyed it in India.

First time here, really enjoyed the food. All felt fresh and flavourful with very big portions! Chaat wasn't too sweet or savoury, bhatura were so fluffy and more-ish. Only thing was karak chai was mostly hot water, needed improvement. Service was friendly, but they seemed quite stretched in the kitchen as there was often noone behind the counter. But this didn't affect our experience very much.

JV, u’re such a lovely soul. Thanks for opening this restaurant for us. Such a great food, every bite was worth it. The parathas were outstanding, Mirchi ka achar was just amazing. Saffron tea was worth every penny. Thanks a lot for your hospitality, will visit soon and will recommend it to everyone.

I tried food here for the first time it was very delicious served piping hot , fresh and tasty 😋

Your paratha reminded me of back home very tasty food Keep it up

Very nice food and friendly staff.

Highly recommend anyone to give this hidden gem a try. Absolutely delicious food and very nice clean atmosphere and of course the customer service as always was fantastic 10/10

Everything is great here. We were welcomed by the lovely lady who recommended us what to pick, and we definitely enjoyed the food in this cozy restaurant 😋! Would recommended and surely visit again (Oh and they serve generous portions! )

Best Choley Bhaturey in London 10/10

This place is the best in Ilford Their weekend special is worth it Very tasty 😋

Very nice very nice Good Food Good customer service Ambience is very good Good hygiene Very friendly atmosphere felt like back home

The food was nice however the service is very slow 🐌 I cancelled part of the order because it was taking too long and the chai and mango lassi was given half way though eatting.

The paratha is so fresh and the aloo tikki chole was also amazing, the pakora wasn't great as it was greasy but overall really nice

Very delicious Makkey ki roti and Sarso Ka saga JV you are doing commendable work such a young girl and so hard working Well done to you Mashallah! I pray you not to get ever any Nazar 🧿

Food tasted like they were home cooked. Overall tasty food with a lot of vegetarian options like parathas and china bhatura. The only downside was the coffee which we were looking forward to for brunch. The kids loved the saffron tea.
