A drive-thru Indian street food restaurant has opened for business in Bolton. National chain Chaiiwala has opened its doors on Manchester Road, taking over what used to be the Londis petrol station.
Chaiiwala, the Indian food concept that was ‘founded on the streets of New Delhi’ has 50 sites across the UK. In addition to the new drive-thru, there’s another site on Deane Road in Bolton, as well as restaurants in Cheetham Hill, Old Trafford, Levenshulme, Oldham and Rochdale.
The Midlands-based business originally started in Delhi in 1927, before it began serving Indian-inspired teas, street food and soft drinks in the UK six years ago. Traditionally, a Chaiiwala is a tea-seller and is an integral part of the Indian subcontinent culture.
