    We were expecting to eat downstairs, but downstairs was closed that night, so we tried upstairs, and we’re glad we did. Delicious and different curries and salad on the street food menu. Upstairs or down, there’s no wrong choice at Roti Chai.

    We had previously been here before and really enjoyed it. This time we came back and took my mum for a special meal. We booked through open table and I mentioned it was a special occasion on the booking but when we arrived there was no specific table booked for us and it was just kind of sit where ever but the problem was there wasn’t much space so there was confusion and it was slightly stressful finding a suitable table. Food was good - atmosphere nice. Service all I’d say is bring the drinks with the food, as we had to chase up but overall I’d say food was great if not a bit expensive but that’s what we expected. Waiters were polite. Advice would be to try elevate the stress for your customers where possible
