"we’re embracing our role as the pioneers of Indian street food"
Chaiiwala has expanded its menu with the launch of its first customisable Wala Box and a new Family Platter, as it looks to boost evening dining.
The Wala Box, priced at £10.95, is designed to offer customers a convenient way to sample a range of menu items for lunch or dinner in one compact meal.
Each Wala Box includes a choice of signature Wala Wrap or Bombay Toastie, alongside loaded chips, a Punjabi samosa or pasty, and chilli and garlic dip.
The format is positioned as an affordable all-in-one option for solo diners seeking variety and convenience.
Chaiiwala has also launched The Family Platter, which targets shared dining occasions between friends and family.
The platter includes two Wala Wraps and two Bombay Toasties, cut and wrapped into four portions for sharing.
It also features chips, two Punjabi samosas, pani puri poppers, three dips, and ten sugared doughnuts, priced at £29.95. The offering is designed to support social dining moments and larger group gatherings.
The launch marks a push into evening trade for the Indian street food cafe brand.
Despite most of its branches operating from 7 am to 11 pm, Chaiiwala is best known for its breakfast and daytime menu offerings.
The new additions are designed to strengthen Chaiiwala’s all-day dining credentials and broaden its appeal across a wide range of customer occasions.
Sohail Ali, co-founder of Chaiiwala, said: “For me, the best thing about Indian food is the mix of textures and tastes, but not everyone wants to, or can afford to, order a heavy curry, rice and sides every time they want to enjoy Indian flavours.
“With the launch of these menu options, we’re embracing our role as the pioneers of Indian street food and making it even easier for solo flavour-seekers to enjoy a tasty and affordable lunch or bring people together for a memorable meal.
“It also strengthens our offer for dinner and late-night dining.”
“Over the last decade, we’ve built a strong reputation as a brand that offers authentic flavour.
“Now, with these options, we’re bringing flavours to dinner and late nights that always hit the spot.”
Founded in Leicester in 2015, Chaiiwala has over 100 sites across the UK. There are also more than 20 locations in Canada and a handful in Dubai.
The business is targeting 500 locations worldwide over the next decade, with expansion planned across high streets, drive-thrus, travel hubs and international markets.
