Best masala chai I have ever had. I make my own at home and this is the first time another chai has been SO much better. I had the house cardamom - perfect spices, beautiful pouring technique

Excellent Masala Chai. They use a black tea from Assam with their own freshly grounded blend of spices and serve the chai without any sugar to highlight how good the flavour is. Most chai sellers use excessive amounts of sugar to compensate for the lack of spices in the chai, but not here.

The Chai tastes like proper Indian Chai being served in India. Chai staff is giving really great customer service with their antique pouring style. I’ve been regular customer of Amala Chai since I had my first sip of chai.

Nestled within West Handyside Canopy in London, Amala Chai - Canopy Market offers an authentic Masala Chai experience that stands out in the city’s bustling tea scene. Their signature chai is brewed with Assam black tea combined with a freshly ground blend of spices, crafted to highlight the natural aromas without relying on excessive sugar. This approach honors the traditional Indian chai-making art, delivering a bold yet balanced flavor that genuine tea lovers will appreciate.

What sets Amala Chai apart is not only the quality of their ingredients but also their meticulous preparation and presentation. The antique pouring technique adds a sensory ritual, enriching the experience with grace and tradition. The house cardamom chai, in particular, has been praised for its perfect blend of spices and fragrant warmth that lingers pleasantly.

Each cup tells a story—whether it’s the morning pick-me-up Kesar chai, vibrant and soul-soothing, or the rich Masala Chai that recalls memories of Indian streetside tea stalls. Customers consistently highlight the outstanding customer service, complementing the authenticity of the chai itself with genuine hospitality.

As a food reviewer, I found the experience at Amala Chai deeply gratifying. The balance between spice, tea, and technique struck a chord, making every sip feel intentional and crafted with care. For anyone seeking a true taste of Indian chai culture right in London, this humble yet refined canopy stall offers a remarkable journey into the heart of masala chai craftsmanship.
