Karak Chaii

Karak Chaii - Bringing the Taste of Authentic Indian Street Food to the UK & Beyond From a self-funded dream to a thriving £20 million enterprise, Karak Chaii has quickly become one of the UK’s fastest-growing Indian street food brands. Since opening our first café in Birmingham in 2019, we’ve expanded to 22 locations nationwide—on track to reach 40 by the end of 2025, with targets to open 15 UK stores each year. There are also exciting international expansion plans for the future including the USA, Saudi, Dubai, Malaysia, and Pakistan. At the heart of our journey is our signature "million-dollar cup" of chai—a strong, sweet desi tea perfected by our founders, Javed and Sara, after months of dedication. Inspired by Indian street food culture and their family heritage, they built Karak Chaii not just as a restaurant, but as a home away from home for communities across the UK.
