KFC, McDonald’s, and Starbucks spring to mind when we discuss drive-through eateries. In India, the drive-thru idea of international restaurant chains is quite common, but it appears to be the opposite outside. A well-known chain of Indian restaurants, Chaiiwala has launched the UK’s first drive-thru restaurant. This only serves to highlight how Indian cuisine is becoming more and more well-known outside of India.
Indian street food is already incredibly popular in our nation; it’s amazing to see it gaining similar popularity abroad, and not only among individuals with similar tastes. Nothing is shocking about this, though, because no one can resist the allure of our street food.
Chaiiwala is the restaurant that has launched the drive-thru location. The renowned restaurant first opened its doors in Delhi in the 1920s and then developed locations in the UK, where it now serves Indian street food and beverages. It is certain to increase the popularity of Indian food with its new drive-through restaurant on Manchester Road in Bolton.
The enticing menu is Chaiiwala’s biggest feature. All of our favourite Indian dishes, like aloo tikki burgers, butter chicken rolls, aloo paratha, Mumbai mac ‘n’ cheese, and pani puri, are offered here. Even the beverage menu is intriguing, offering drinks like pink chai, nimbu pani, garam chocolate, and kadak chai. All the things are reasonably priced, as we would anticipate.
There are currently more than 70 Chaiwala restaurants around the world, most of them in the UK. The brand’s first-ever offering is the drive-thru location.
Indian street food appears to be sweeping the globe. A desi street food restaurant in the US called “Chai Pani” recently won the James Beard Foundation Awards in Chicago’s “America’s Most Outstanding Restaurant” category. The same organization gave Indian-born chef Chintan Pandya of the New York City eatery Dhamaka the James Beard Award for “Best Chef: New York State.”
