Reviews
I had been on the lookout for a place that does a really good desi breakfast and this came up on my radar after a look on Google Maps. I visited the establishment with my wife for a spot of brunch after we specifically missed breakfast. First impressions of the place itself were fantastic. At the entrance you're greeted with a nice faux floral arrangement and once you step inside you have some cosy seating on the first floor and an even larger space upstairs. The space upstairs is well furnished and the decor is on point. Plenty of areas for those fun Instagram/Snapchat/*Insert Social Media Platform* shots. We ordered an Englistani breakfast and a Desi B reakfast (with Halwa). You get the option of regular or masala beans. Being the spice/masala fiends that we are, we ordered the Masala beans. I ordered regular toast with my breakfast and parathas were included as standard for the Desi breakfast. The Englistani breakfast was superb. From the perfectly cooked toast to the masala beans, I savoured every bite. I also tried the Desi breakfast and again we were impressed. The seasoning and flavourful omelette was my highlight alongside the parathas. The parathas were homemade, unlike other places where you're served frozen Shana parathas. We also ordered a pot of the Karak Chai. There was enough chai for 2+ cups each and we finished the whole thing. Service was excellent and the prices were extremely reasonable. Definitely a spot we'll visit again.
My first time here but I'll definitely be back. My car was having repairs done close by, and I thought I'd pop in after walking past for some breakfast and Karak Chai, and I'm certainly glad I did. I ordered the Desi Nashta with Halwa, along with a large pot of Karak Chai to start, as I knew I'd be here for a while. Very flavoursome breakfast, with every element prepared perfectly. Just the right balance of spices that left me wanting more after every bite. The Halwa was also absolutely delicious. The texture, flavour and sweetness was bang on. All of of it was washed down pleasantly with the fragrant pot of warming Karak Chai that wasn't too sweet. I polished off the Desi breakfast pretty quickly as I was fairly hungry, and browsed the WiFi for a while before it was drawing close to lunch time. I then ordered the Miljul Speciality Karak Chai, some Cheesy Keema Fries, and a Rasmalai flavoured cake. Everything was made to order so there was about a 10 minute wait, as I asked for everything altogether. In the end, it was well worth it. The portion of Cheesy Keema Fries was very generous, and is a meal in itself. I was honestly expecting a smaller portion thinking it would be a side to main meals, but it was served up like a main. Lots of Keema, and hearty cheese. Proper soul food! The Speciality Karak Chai came in a single heart designed, double walled glass and tasted divine. It was a bit frothy on top, and the flavours and sweetness was tuned up a notch compared to my initial pot of regular Karak Chai. I think at this point I couldn't wait to dig in to the Rasmalai cake, which was super moist, fragrant and surrounded in a thick creamy sweet milk. It definitely tasted different to Rasmalai I usually eat, as it's a flavoured cake as opposed to being actual Rasmalai, but it was delicious nonetheless. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my food and drinks here, and would highly recommend it to all Chai lovers and those who appreciate Pakistani cuisine. I'd also like to add that service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my entire time there. The surroundings were clean, modern and there was plenty of seating upstairs where I sat. There's also free WiFi here, which seemed quite fast, so it's a great place to get work done or just to simply meet up with friends like I saw several people doing. I'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu, thanks again!
Enjoyed a full halal breakfast. Sausages weren't particularly nice but still good. The teas are very nice here though. Served in a presentable desi style metal pot..
Came here for Breakfast today, it's a small place but it's so cute. There's a couple of tables downstairs but the main seating area is upstairs. The place is very aesthetically pleasing. My friend and I got the Desi Nashta with a Karak Chai. Everything tasted very nice but one thing to watch out for, they put those pesky cardamom in the Channa curry. Service was really good. Also for my Muslims, they have a hand held bidet in the toilets which is always a plus for a place. ๐๐๐พ Would definitely recommend coming here.
Miljul (to get together) Chai is an authentic chai house in Oldham with modern comforts serving authentic beverages and traditional eastern and western inspired halal street food. Their menu is inspired by family traditions and worldly travels. Their mission is to bring you high quality food in a relaxing ambience. What we ordered: Desi Nashta with Halwa Samosa Chaat Anda Shammi Burger Miljul seasoned fries Karak chai The food was presented perfectly and the service was friendly. We enjoyed our breakfast / brunch and will go back soon. The desi Nashta wasn't oily at all. The Anda Shammi Burger was served on a soft brioche roll. Their karak chai was like a mix of desi and karak chai which was different.
