"Lovely fresh samosa with salad for lunch, they do takeaways. Great chat with the owner about her cooking style and ethos. Far better than a pub sandwich. Will return for sure"

It was my 68th birthday and I wanted to do something in Bishops Castle that I hadn 't done before after living here for 4 a half years. But what? Mmm...early February in Bishops Castle? I discounted the usual suspects as glad as I was to see them emerging from the dark days of a not too bad winter. It had to be.....The Chai Shop! So wandering hopefully past with the windows steamed I popped in to see Tahira Tara AKA and booked myself in for the week after. One week later I arrived with my bottle of beer where a wonderful welcome was given and it wasn 't long until my plate of lamb rogon josh with pilau rice with a couple of accoutrements creme fresh sweet relish and a bowl of salad arrived....
What a delightful lunch we had at the Chai House this week. The food was delicious, prepared in the traditional Indian way so it’s not greasy. But, what made is so special was not just the food but the sense of community there. The owner Tara) is an amazing cook but also a very funny, engaging and entertaining host. She is happy to let people eat quietly if that’s what they would like to do but we thoroughly enjoyed the sense of community as we chatted to three people a father/daughter and an older gentleman who frequents Chai House very regularly) on the other table. If you do go, ask Tara about her alter egos she is bright and very talented not to mention her artwork on the walls). We’ll d...
What a gem! My friend and I stumbled upon this Indian cafe whilst in Bishops Castle ready to do our touring opera show that night. Tara is an exceptional host and the food was exceptional! She is also a talented comedienne and artist! A wonderful community atmosphere, where, if you wish you can chat with everyone....which we did... Everyone then came and supported our opera that evening... proper Indian food and Tara caters for gluten free too! A very special place... we will be back there! Thank you xx
During a recent holiday visit, I stumbled upon this charming Indian café. I treated myself to some Goan vegetable curry with rice, a lamb samosa, a slice each of lime coconut and cardamom cake, all of which were homemade and freshly cooked. Despite my experience with Indian cuisine, I have never come across homecooked food as delicious as this. The service was incredibly friendly as well. If you ever find yourself in Bishops Castle, I highly recommend stopping by The Chai Shop! Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
This small cafe offers both takeout and dine-in options. All the dishes are cooked fresh in the open kitchen. We started with Vegetable Bhargies, served straight from the stove with homemade lime pickle. For our main course, we had a Goan vegetable curry and Chicken Masala. The food was flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. To finish off our meal, we enjoyed a delicious homemade lime and coconut cake. I highly recommend this place.
Visited this afternoon and the lady was more than happy to accommodate us with our requests, despite obviously having had a very busy day over the Easter weekend. Ordered veg samosas and onion bhajis and wow! They were absolutely amazing and can’t rate them highly enough. A must if you’re in the area and we will be back (even if it’s just for the Chai Shop).
I stopped by this afternoon for a coffee and was greeted by a wonderfully friendly lady. Although all I wanted was a drink, I ended up receiving a wealth of knowledge from Ruth, the woman I believe was serving me, and enjoyed a great conversation. And the coffee was fantastic as well!
This restaurant is a completely different experience , the host is very friendly and loves sharing her experiences with customers who all seem to know her. We had a mixed vegetarian plate each , every curry was different and it was impossible to choose a favourite. I loved it there Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
A tiny quirky eating place if you love curry don't miss it! The cardamon cake was the best! I also bought a few locally made cards and had a good chat with the owner. A very pleasant interlude.
Lovely fresh samosa with salad for lunch, they do takeaways. Great chat with the owner about her cooking style and ethos. Far better than a pub sandwich. Will return for sure
