About this listen
Desi food, strong chai, and even stronger conversations.
In this episode of The Judge Reviews Podcast, Jay sits down with Zaitoon, the woman behind Desi Dhaba Chaiwala — a Glasgow favourite known for flaky parathas, rich saag, and chai that doesn’t mess about.
But this conversation goes far beyond food.
Zaitoon opens up about:
- Building a Desi food business in Glasgow
- The realities of running a hospitality business
- Chai, culture, and community
- Her work supporting and speaking to people beyond the shop
- Identity, representation, and leadership
- Why Desi food means more than just a meal
This is a warm, funny, and honest conversation about food, purpose, and belonging, with plenty of Glasgow patter along the way.

Is chai just a drink — or a way of life?
