Welcome to
Where every sip feels like home
Juicy Angus smash burgers, loaded fries, thick 16oz shakes and the best karak chai in town — made fresh to order and packed hot to take away.
Our Story
More than just a cup of chai
The Chai Courtyard began with one simple belief — that the best conversations happen over a proper cup of chai. Not rushed. Not from a machine. Brewed slowly on an open flame, the way it has been made in our families for generations.
Today our kitchen on New Road, Rainham serves everything that belongs beside a hot cup: juicy 3oz Angus smash burgers, crispy firebird-style chicken, loaded fries and thick 16oz shakes — all halal, all made fresh to order and packed hot for you to take away.
