Chai Chenak Restaurant

This place is lit, the atmosphere the vibe just brings you back to Pakistan. The food tastes amazing, the quality is great and serving is ample too. Ordered charsi mutton Karahi with chicken biryani and Anday wala chicken burger. Mouth watering. Must visit with family and friends.

This place is on my personal list of "Central NJ Gems." Parking is typical of New Brunswick (ugh) but as soon as you walk in, you're transported into a completely different world. Gorgeous splashes of color on the walls, chairs, dishes & tea kettles. Unfortunately didn't get a chance to see the upstairs but pictures look divine. They have very different lunch & dinner time options, but give you the menu for both (so you can see what you're missing). Lunchtime is for paratha (like fried crepe) chicken tikka wraps, samosa appetizers, and a selection from 4 types of chai or good ol' mango lassi (smoothie). All for about $15/pp! Food was nicely fried, flavorful and comes with green dipping sauce. Both teas were very distinctive, but smooth with a rich creamy texture... a spicy bubble less b

We got here around 230pm, unfortunately they were done serving breakfast. We got lunch and were not expecting too much from the food here. The place was filled with young crowd on their computers. We ordered a chicken and a beef phartha roll asks khark chai. The portion looked small. But wow was it filled with flavor! I liked the chicken beter, it had the smokey grilled flavor. The beef was very tender and spicy. The chairs was refreshing. Overall it was a pleasant atmosphere worth the price.

Absolutely loved this spot - everything from the chai to the food everything feels genuine and full of flavor. The presentation, ambiance, and warm hospitality create such a comforting, homey experience. It’s rare to find a place that nails both authenticity and quality like this one does. A must-visit if you love good chai and bold, vibrant flavors.

Very cozy place, service was great and food was very good, we had one issue with a beef kebab that was a bit tough but when we talked to the waiter he offered to switch to a chicken one at no extra cost and that one ended up being very good. We order a ton of stuff and everything was delicious, would love to come back.
