Yes I’ve been to both and so far I’d say Karak Chaii Oxford Road has a better offering. It’s a bit like Shree Krishna Vada Pav but they have meat options as well.

looks like the new one is part of a reasonably large chain: karakchaii.co.uk

I'm not entirely sure but I had assumed that Karak Chaii Reading (newly opened on the Oxford Road) was part of the same chain as Karak Chaii and Coffee on Broad Street where Wolf used to be but I think they are actually separate with similar names. The menu is different and decor is very different

I got some great stuff from the deli. I wasn't too impressed with the sandwiches. Far cry from Madoo. I'm keen to try the pizza though and will give the cannolis a try now you've mentioned it.

This tendency to want to just close the eyes to opposing viewpoints has proven a huge problem for progressive politics. It's rooted in the the idea that even to engage is somehow morally compromising. It means that the argument is not joined and real people aren't won over. bsky.app/profile/lewi...
