I couldn't personally attest to this, but the London outpost of Chapati & Karak did seem to be popular and I was one of the few patrons not of Middle East origin. Though the food here is Indian, the menu items - chapati and karak almost exclusively - were unfamiliar to me. I indulged in milk tea, a savory chapati, and an utterly delicious special from the oven, "Safiha's Meat" (£14) Chapati & Karak proved to be a nice lunchtime stop with good, warm food and a pleasant, moderately upscale dining room. I was sorry that I'd not arrived with a larger party which would allow me to sample more of the menu and possibly to sit on the floor at the enticing Moroccan-style seating. I appreciated that the food and menu here were very different from any I regularly encounter in San Francisco-area Indian restaurants. That the fare and ambiance were both enjoyable was icing on the cake.

I loved the decor and atmosphere. Food: My friend and I both ordered the traditional English breakfast. I had mine with vegan sausage. The breakfast was exactly what I expected and was pretty good. I was excited they had a vegan sausage option instead of leaving the sausage off like other places. Service: Our service was quick and friendly. We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all. TL;DR - Lovely place for an English breakfast

Our table was ready for us when we arrived a few minutes early and they started us with a large glass of champagne. The yellow veuve was included in the normal price, but they had other options for an additional cost. We had unlimited finger sandwiches and they were all very fresh, I really liked the ham and cranberry and a chicken one, they also had cucumber, salmon and egg salad. My favorite bite was the the savory cheesecake bite, Im not sure what all was in it, but there was duck, mango, and pomegranate on top, SO GOOD! Next they served loose leaf tea, that they steeped in the back, in beautiful teapots. I loved that you can get as many different tea options as you'd like and you can even change to coffee or hot chocolate. We were served fresh warm scones, plain and raisin, which you can also get more of at request. They came with real clotted cream (the Queen of Afternoon Tea would be impressed), their signature strawberry jam, and a seasonal cherry jam. Everything was delicious! We also had a beautiful tier of sweets, they were good, but not amazing. It could just be because I was so full at the time, the vanilla circle with jam in the center was my favorite. They were nice enough to box up whatever we didn't finish to take home, and even gave us some extra little fudge. The whole experience was beautiful and tasty and definitely worth the splurge in price. The ambiance was magical and they had a live pianist the whole time. I would for sure be back!

The café is cute, with a nice atmosphere, colorful décor, and plenty of seating. The first time I came, I got the granola yogurt breakfast with fruit compote. It was a very generous portion and made a very filling breakfast. I also got the gunpowder tea, and it was neat that they served it for you in this high tech container that they set over the teapot to dispense the tea; you could see that it was loose leaf and not a teabag. The breakfast and tea came out to be around £8, steep for breakfast but reasonable given the yogurt was so huge I could barely finish it. The second time, I got the avocado toast and a flowering tea (can't remember which one, but the menu shows pictures of the flowers). The avocado spread has a bit of a kick to it, which wasn't really to my taste but that's more of a personal aversion to spicy food. The flowering tea was neat; it took a good 30 seconds for mine to fully blossom and it was fun to watch while eating. I would note that they serve it in a long-stemmed glass which is rather hot to the touch, so I wouldn't order a flowering tea unless you have time to let it cool down before trying to pick it up. My last time, I came for a mid-morning snack and work meeting. My colleague was trying to avoid dairy; we were told there was a dairy-free lemon cake, but the waiter had to double back to let us know they didn't have any left. There was also an extensive smoothies menu, but when the waiter went to check availability, there was only 1 cup of the vitamin boost smoothie left, so we gave it a miss. There weren't any other dairy-free items but they were willing to serve my colleague avocado toast even though breakfast was over, which was kind. I got a cappucino cake and the gunpowder tea again; the cake was moist and tasty. When we left about 30 minutes later, they were starting to bring out cupcakes and salads, and the smoothies looked to have just been restocked, so probably we just arrived at a bad time. There is free wifi that is very easy to connect to. The staff are generally friendly and polite. The café is conveniently located near the Blackfriars tube station. This is definitely a great place to get some work done, or have a chat with someone.

Though we were the only ones dressed the part, the goal was to really make it an authentic experience for us. Imagine us walking through Harrod's to get to the cafe, where we were the recipients of many looks and stares and some compliments. Honestly, we didn't care because this was our planned experience. We had a reservation that we thought we'd missed because of the awful London traffic that was a 45 minute drive to drive only 4 miles from our hotel. Fortunately, we made it in time. When we arrived, we were seated pretty quickly. We had a great table that allowed us to take pictures without disturbing other guests. It was not a packed house on this particular day, so we were able to enjoy the experience without being spectacles. The afternoon tea began with a raspberry-flavored Amuse-Bouche, which was quite delicious. Additionally, we had an array of savory sandwiches that included salmon, cucumber, chicken and one other. The sandwiches were replenished twice. They were all absolutely delicious, The treats included four decadent options along with two varieties of scones and butter and jam on the side. The scones exceeded my expectations. They appeared to be dry, but were far from it. There were also different flavors of tea from which we chose the Tiffany's Blend and the Jasmine tea with milk flavoring. I was a little disappointed that actual milk was not offered with the tea; however, the Tiffany's Blend was my absolute favorite,even without any milk or sweetener. Since we could not eat everything that was brought to the table, we boxed our treats and a sandwich to go. It was a great experience and it was actually fun to play dress up, even if it is considered unconventional in this day and age.
