Being a coffee person, I didn't expect much when I went to Chai King's, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. There are a variety of coffee options as well, and the eateries, biscuits, and samosas are definitely at the top of the list for me. Another eatery that is just easy to devour is the Irish coffee donut.
