The Good Stuff
Karak chai
Karak is a standout, with reviews praising its aroma, customisation and saffron version.
Quiet setting
The Al Warqa branch is repeatedly described as peaceful and cozy, with outdoor seating also mentioned.
Broad menu
The menu handles varied cravings well, from breakfast plates to pasta, biryani and late-night wings.
Easy parking
One breakfast review specifically notes plenty of parking, which makes the branch convenient for an unhurried visit.
Diet awareness
Staff have been praised for flagging that the cheese balls contain egg when advising vegetarian diners.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try saffron. Order the saffron karak or saffron tea if you want the most distinctive drink mentioned in reviews.
Go daytime. For faster service, visit earlier rather than around 2am, when one table waited about 30 minutes.
Ask for spice. If you prefer milder food, ask for less spice; one diner said the kitchen adjusted the dish.
Order paratha. The Oman chips paratha was singled out as excellent, while the potato and cheese stuffed paratha also impressed.
Check ingredients. Vegetarian diners should ask about ingredients: one review notes that the cheese balls contain egg.
Use parking. For a relaxed breakfast visit, take advantage of the plenty of parking noted in a morning review.

Common Concerns
Hygiene lapse
One late-night order had several hairs on the wings and a large hair in the sauce, which stopped the customer eating.
Late wait
A 2am visit took around 30 minutes for food, so late-night diners should allow extra time.
Higher pricing
Two late-night reviews found the prices somewhat higher than expected.
Uneven sauces
One diner found the Turkish eggs too heavy on curd and the shakshouka too saucy.
Large portions
The labneh portion was more than one diner could use, leading to some waste.

The Bottom Line
Chai And Co. in Al Warqa serves breakfast, lunch and dinner all day, making it especially handy for breakfast at unconventional hours. Reviews mention French toast, avocado toast with poached eggs, Turkish eggs, parathas, biryani and Alfredo chicken pasta, so this is a place where a breakfast craving and a proper dinner can share the same table.
The menu is multicuisine rather than narrowly focused. Drinks are a major draw. Karak chai is repeatedly praised, including its aroma and a saffron version described as memorable; tea can also be customised.
The branch is often described as quiet, calm and cozy, with outdoor seating and plenty of parking mentioned in reviews. That combination suits family meals, relaxed catch-ups or a late-night date, and some customers have visited around 2am or for suhoor. There are a few things to keep in mind.
A late-night table waited around 30 minutes, and two reviews found prices higher than expected. One customer reported hairs on the wings and in the sauce, a hygiene issue that should not be ignored. Some breakfast dishes may lean heavy on accompaniments: Turkish eggs were found too curd-heavy, shakshouka too saucy, and one labneh serving larger than needed.
If you prefer mild food, ask for less spice.
