Karak Chaii Hall Green

karak chai done properly is a rarer thing than it should be. most places treat it as an afterthought, a sideline to the espresso menu, but here on stratford road in hall green it's the main event. you're not coming for a flat white with a leaf on top. the b28 stretch of stratford road is a busy, unpretentious corridor, and this place fits it without apology, serving the kind of spiced milk tea that's actually worth making the trip for. the confidence in the menu feels earned, not performed. if you go once, you'll likely find yourself back before the week is out, probably for the karak on a slow tuesday afternoon.
