A new drive-thru Indian street food drive through has opened in Bolton.

Chain Chaiiwala opened the new eaterie on Manchester Road, just weeks ago.

The food outlet already has another restaurant on Deane Road.

On the menu is meat and vegetarian options incluidng pasties, rotis, kebabs and burgers.

There is also a variety of hot and cold drinks to choose from including the famous chaii lattes with lots of different flavours available.

The Bolton News:

Sohail Ali, Co-Founder said: “This is extremely exciting news for Bolton and the UK in general as this is the first time the Chaiiwala brand has been created as a drive-thru concept.

“This is a totally new experience for our valued customers and the first time they can experience our Indian street food in a drive-thru setting.

“This is the first time we have offered this concept and are delighted with the results."

The restaurant was opened in conjunction with the EG Group as part of a strategic partnership with them and brings their store count in the UK to 68, and 75 across the world, with ambitious plans to reach 100 by 2023.

The idea has been years in the making, and they have searched all across the UK before deciding on Bolton for the drive-thru.

Sohail added: “Using this blueprint we are now actively searching for new drive-thru locations across the UK which will replicate the Bolton store model.

“We have built the Chaiiwala brand on a mixture of providing original Indian street food with the best customer service, with the aim of providing a unique experience.

The Bolton News:

“Our drive-thru concept will allow customers to experience our products in a faster format while also having the ability to visit the store.

“This has proved extremely successful and popular with our customers so far and a model we are actively pursuing for new stores across the UK.”

Since the company began their journey in Leicester in 2015, they are now one of the leading casual fast-food operators in the UK.

Their plans for 2023 also include a new concept in university campuses across the UK.
