Charista

A pretty cafe that is not just a pretty cafe. The food is actually good and feels authentic to Bangladeshi cuisine. And great portion sizes (best shared I think). Tea is delicious. Would go again!

I was with some mates in the area. We had dined and then looked for somewhere decent for tea and dessert.

Owner was very accommodating of us as a large group late in the evening.

I had the pistachio milk cake: good size, immaculate piping of fresh cream on top, and filling. The owner was good enough to offer extra cardamon flavouring to my order of their house tea.

We learnt the place has only been opened 6 weeks. It deserves to do well.

Hands down the best shake I've ever had! I wanted the coconut shake, sadly out of stock but the lovely woman at the till said I wouldn't regret the pistachio shake and she was right, this will be my summer go to drink for sure. I will be back to try other things on the menu for sure

Food, Chaii and Customer Service all excellent. Simple menu, quality flavours, made with care and well presented. I really enjoyed my experience. Went back again and sadly the social media hype has taken charge and it was rammed! Great for the business but it just means if you want to go you got to pick your time.

Wow! This place is awesome. We loved every dish and can't wait to return. The owners attention to detail was spot on.
