If you're someone who loves afternoon tea but doesn't love spending $70 + per person for afternoon tea then Tokyo Mithaiwala has an afternoon tea set that might interest you. For only $32 per person you can experience a Christmas Afternoon Tea set that won't break the bank and will leave you with more money in your pocket to go do some Christmas shopping after you've had your tea! I really enjoyed the Red Pepper Hummus & Vegetable Sandwich, and the Vegetable Skewer turned out to be surprisingly delicious! There are sweets too of course, and for your drink you can choose from standard beverages such as Chai Latte and Earl Grey tea, or opt for something a bit more exotic like the Rose Elaichi Latte which is an interesting mix of rose and cardamom flavors. The food that is served here is heavily influenced by Indian cuisine. I came here last year for the regular afternoon tea and while I enjoyed it overall back then, there was at least one item back then that didn't agree with me as it had cilantro in it and I happen to have a huge aversion to cilantro. This time, nothing had cilantro in it. The vegetable skewer was garnished with cilantro but for my particular skewer, it was very easy for the kitchen to simply leave out the garnish. In all honesty, the food here isn't exactly 5 star quality. If you're someone with very refined taste buds, this place may not be for you. The matcha scone for example didn't quite have the right texture for us, and was served with a sweet whipping cream as opposed to the clotted cream that is served in more traditional style afternoon teas. I think everyone at our table would have preferred clotted cream. However, I think that this place is an excellent option for anyone who is on a budget and perhaps, less picky with their food. It is beautifully presented and in this day and age, when so many other places are charging an arm and a leg for afternoon tea, (especially the holiday themed ones) $32 is an incredible deal. There is also a regular menu to order from if you're in the mood for something other than afternoon tea. NB: The entire menu is Vegetarian. Service: Good Parking: Plentiful and free Location: 12950 80 Ave. Unit 8, Surrey

This is such a beautiful hidden gem in Surrey. It is big and spacious and bright. They have a ton of pastries and drinks to choose from which is awesome. I love that they also do high tea if that's something you're interested in. Unfortunately our first experience here was not the greatest because the was a very large party there when we got there for a birthday which took up about 3/4 of the space and only about 1/4 of the space left for people not part of that party. I feel like the staff had a lot of their focus on this party too. At one point they also had the music extremely loud so it was hard to talk to somebody next to you. Loud enough to hurt your ears. I feel like they should've just turned people away if this was the case
Tokyo mithai wala is a trendy Indian mithai shop cum cafe . The tit bit food items on menu are tailored keeping in mind Indian and western tastes. For lot of people it will be hit or miss but we enjoyed the whole experience along with yummy food. We enjoyed the afternoon tea worth $48 and enough for two people. You get to try many items from the menu. Presentation is good. Vada pav was my favourite among all but gol-gappa was also good. Since the platter is for 2 people so feel free to order your respective drinks like we choose chai and coffee and both were great. Loved the cattle The decor is very pretty as there is plenty of natural light due to high ceilings. They also have a separate room / dinning area upstairs for private bookings but the seating downstairs is also stylish and Comfortable.
Ambiance is superb. Very affordable price. Service is good. This is Japanese presentation/interpretation of Indian dessert; somewhat unique and actually not bad; heavily loaded with sugar and fat. Highly recommend the hazelnut chocolate mousse! Ask the waitress for typical Indian sweet and they could make good recommendations!
My friend booked afternoon tea at this location. It was quite affordable at $24 a person. I found the portion quite filling and the price included one chai or coffee beverage. I enjoyed the Indian twist on the concept although I did miss the scones and clotted cream found in the traditional British afternoon tea experience. The masala tea was good and the vada pav was my favourite item. It looked like a mini slider with a spicy potato patty and was delicious. On a separate note, everything was vegetarian on the menu. Service was efficient. Staff checked in a couple times. Restroom was clean. There is a decent amount of parking on this mini plaza.
The atmosphere is upscale and have a varied range of Indo-western desserts like motichoor cheesecake and coconut souffle. Their afternoon tea menu is extensive and offers a better selection of savoury and desserts. If you can eat that's the best bang for your buck. Service was very prompt and courteous.
Such a hidden gem! When the server told us that this spot had been around for a year we were shocked that we had never heard of it. The interior was small and clean, nothing special but the presentation of the food was high quality and added to the nice vibes. We got 4 servings of their tea and a few dishes on the side for the 5 of us. Each set came with an option of tea or coffee, and they had alternative milk options which was surprising as it's hard to find oat milk at most Indian establishments. The food was alright, some items on the tea tier were better than others. Some favorites were the rose pistachio burfi and the dhodha truffle. I will definitely be back to try more of their sweets like the matcha burfi.
Did anyone say Indian style high tea?? Well, if you love a good cup of authentic chai and Indian savouries look no further. Head to Tokyo Mithaiwala in Surrey, it's definitely worth the drive. Creamy rich chai or coffee served with your favourite Indian vegetarian finger foods with a unique twist! My only complaints... food was cold and perhaps is meant to be served at that temp. Iam used to having pakoras/samosa's served hot. Customer service a tad slow or unorganized; we had to ask for cutlery and our tea came after our high tea tray was delivered. Music was too loud for a high tea or cafe style setting. But, it's a newly opened establishment and that may improve with time! Nonetheless, I'll be back again as the high tea menu changes and their mithai ( sweets) rotate.
High tea is $48 for 2, and it is more than fair considering the amount of food provided, as well as the superb quality. It's a completely vegetarian high tea, and it also comes with chai! The only thing I'd say was overrated was the $7.99 rose elaichi drink. It was pretty okay, but the serving size was tiny and it's not quite worth it (in my opinion).
A new experience opened up in Surrey. Was my first time there recently and definitely won't be my last visit. We ordered the afternoon high tea which is customizable depending on how big your group is. It included coffee or tea along with sweet and savory appetizers like pani puri, samosa rolls, vada pav, etc. We were quite happy with the amount of food (which was almost like a meal to be honest) and food quality/preparation/taste was awesome!!
The cultural lineage of this place is certainly interesting, since from what I understand, this is the only Canadian location of an Indian restaurant from Japan. The restaurant is beautiful with both Indian and Japanese design sensibilities. They have a table service restaurant with both high tea and an extensive a la carte menu, and it looks like you can also buy mithai in bulk. The food isn't really Japanese-Indian fusion as you might expect, but more like Japanese impression of Indian food, if that makes sense? There's a few hints of Japanese and Asian influence, but the menu is mostly modern Indian. All vegetarian. There's no vegan or gluten free options for afternoon tea, but the a la carte menu includes many clearly labeled vegan and GF dishes. I wanted to try the afternoon tea set to get a wide sampling of their offerings. The set included: corn spinach puff, paneer tikka slider, cream cheese cucumber sandwich, samosa, chutneys for dipping, manchurian skewers, orange cranberry scone with whipped cream, rose rasmalai cake, dodha crunch, motichoor cheesecake parfait, and the choice between masala chai, coffee, or hot/iced caffe latte. It's $32/person for the set, which is a great price. I also appreciated that it was possible to order the set for just one person since it seems like many teahouses will only do it for 2+ people. I thought all of the items in the set were pretty good, and there was a balance between the sweet and savoury items. The only things that really left anything to be desired were that the scone was a bit dry and crumbly, and I thought the tandoori paneer could have been more flavourful. In general the flavours of the savoury items were a bit more subtle than in typical authentic Indian food, but for the most part it didn't come across as bland to me, just a different take on it. The standouts in the set were: the paneer slider - even if the paneer itself didn't impress, I loved the almost flaky texture of the pav - the manchurian, and the rose rasmalai cake. Also, the cream cheese cucumber sandwich had cilantro or chutney or something in the cream cheese which made it much more interesting than the plain version of this sandwich. The masala chai (my chosen drink) was also very good. It was served in a pot that contained 2 small servings. My waiter was very friendly and stopped by a few times to check in. When I was done eating and wanted my bill, it was easy to get his attention. I visited at what seemed like a quiet time so I didn't have much competition for attention. One thing that I thought was odd was when he gave me the machine to pay, there was no tip option - it would be cool if they had a no-tip policy, but I never saw any mention of it, so I wonder if he accidentally bypassed the tip when putting in my charge. It was an interesting and very pleasant experience. I was so curious about this place that I made a trip out from Vancouver just to try it (and couldn't get anyone willing to go to Surrey for afternoon tea with me, hence the afternoon tea order for one), and it was worth the trip! read more

The name caught our attention and the pics convinced us to try this place out. The ambience and decor is pleasing. The desserts on display make you want to try out all of them. Even their drinks (shakes) menu is interesting. We were also impressed by the food presentation. The chai came in a japanese pot, the pavs had Tokyo Mithaiwala stamped on them. We got the veggie bullets which I loved. Perfect crispy on the outside and a tasty filling on the inside. What was even better was the chutney that came with it. Tangy and flavorful. The pav bhaji fondue name was misleading as we were expecting it to come in fondue style; in a pot with flame at the bottom and small pieces of pav. But when we tasted it, it wasn't the traditional flavor but was still a nice taste and came with Japanese spices on the side. For dessert we tried the beets truffle and rasmalai kesar pastry. The pastry had a nice spongy and soft texture and was not overly sweet. read more
