what the critics say
Sunday, November 20, 2011 - I've eaten bhel pouri everywhere from a back alley in Mumbai to a backstreet in Euston, and this one is the best, hands-down. Fresh, crisp and with a zingy tamarind sauce - little flecks of onion, ginger and spices have elevated it quite some distance from street food. Then there's dahl and roti combo. Three piping hot breads - plain, brown and chilli - are stacked in a bowl; all are exemplary. The chilli kulcha has that 'beads of sweat on the brow' feeling without being overpowering, and works brilliantly with the yellow lentil dish that puts my local to shame. It's vibrant in colour and flavour.
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - The chicken lollipops at this good value, zeitgeisty diner will make a certain fast-food colonel green with envy. Half a dozen wings - the meat pushed up from the bone to create the 'stick' - deep fried in a cumin, fennel and chilli crumb and served with a punchy mint and coriander dip, this is the snack food of the gods...Pea and potato samosas have a pleasing kick and come with a deliciously spicy chickpea curry. The spiced lamb chapli kebab served in a bun is in with a shout for the title of London's best burger.

loved the decor and thought the food was different and very well done. Samosas and kulfi delicious and the Mackerel salad with beetroot fantastic. Staff were very helpful and friendly though obviously going through teething - I expect it to only get better

Being an indian, I can tell you this place is great! Food quality is excellent, atmosphere is great and I am sure this place will be a hit. Much better than Dishoom which is not authentic indian fare. Only downside is that there aren't enough dishes on the menu and perhaps not enough choices for vegetarians.

what the bloggers say
London Eater
Monday, April 09, 2012 - I liked the curry, light, brothy (rather than creamy & rich), it gave an impression of butter-free, yoghurt-free, lightly salted, lightly spiced home-cooked goodness. Delicious yes and rather subtle, but I felt it could do with just a few more cubes of fish. The cauliflower & potatoes were also light in style. I thought the bread selection was fabulous value - naan, pratha and kulcha...Roti Chai is unique in the familiar world of Indian restaurants in the city. I don't think it's quite perfect, but the food is generally good, well priced and easy going.
Cheese and Biscuits - 7/10
Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - Chicken Lollipops are my favourite - crispy, spicy chicken wings, deep fried with the meat drawn up to one end of the bone (all the better for dipping in the spicy yoghurt sauce), they are one of those dishes that it's just impossible to dislike, ticking every spicy/salty/crunchy/sweet box. Bun Kebab, too, was a masterful combination of powerful flavours and textures, soft spiced minced lamb inside a glossy white bun, seasoned with pomegranate seeds and spring onions. Best described as a sort of an Indian take on a burger - if there's one thing guaranteed to raise my spirits its a new way to eat meat in a bun.
