A TOP chaii tea chain has revealed plans to open its first Bradford branch.

Chaiiwala, which has several chains in Birmingham, London and Leicester, will be converting a former Asian fashion shop on Great Horton Road into its latest cafe.

Plans to convert the vacant unit, 337 Great Horton Road, into a cafe were approved by Bradford Council earlier this year.

And now the end user of the cafe has been revealed - a new planning application for signage on the outside of the building has been submitted, showing it will be a branch of Chaiiwala.

The company opened its first UK store in Leicester in 2015, and has rapidly expanded ever since.

It sells Karak tea and coffee, as well as Indian Street Food.

The nearest branch of the company is Batley, and the company also plans to open a Leeds branch.
