The menu
Donuts and chai first, then the desi food: breakfasts, parathas, chaat and the grill. Everything here is named in Google reviews. Ask at the counter what’s fresh today.
Donuts
The reason most people come: fresh donuts, filled and topped.
Donuts come up in 131 Google reviews, more than anything else on the counter, and reviewers single out the fresh donuts and the luxury donuts. Haris put it simply: “the donuts amazing”. Ammarah calls them famous. What’s in the cabinet changes, so come and look, or call ahead if you want a box.

Karak chai and pink tea
Chai the proper way, and the pink tea people travel for.
Chai comes up in 103 reviews. There’s strong karak chai (nine reviews name it) and pink tea, the Kashmiri tea that comes up in eleven. Pink tea also turns up as a milkshake with pistachio sauce, which LN MUNCH says “just worked so well”.

Desi breakfast and parathas
Omelette, parathas, beans and kebab patties, served from 9am.
Desi food comes up in 85 reviews and parathas in 21. The desi breakfast is an omelette with parathas, beans and kebab patties, and there’s a bigger desi supreme breakfast too. Sonya Pervez calls the breakfast one of the best in Preston with very generous portions, and recommends the keema and aloo parathas.

Samosa chaat, chips and spuds
Samosa chaat, masala chips, peri-salted chips and loaded spuds.
Samosa chaat comes up in 14 reviews: “all the right flavours and textures”, says LN MUNCH, who also tried a keema spud with a proper cheese pull. Sonya Pervez recommends the masala chips, and Adal F had the peri-salted chips (thick, a good portion) and a loaded barm that “wasn’t greasy at all”.

The grill menu
Lamb chops, tandoori chicken, burgers, and chicken and rice.
The newer grill menu is getting noticed. Petals Kitchen tried the lamb chops, the double tandoori breast and the tandoori burger and says every dish was excellent. Ammarah had the flame grill chicken burger and the chicken and rice: “If you’re thinking about trying the grill menu, just do it.”
