I was really craving Kashmiri chai, so I decided to check this place out...and I’m glad I did! The Kashmiri chai was exactly what I was hoping for, rich and flavorful. I also ordered an anday wala burger, which turned out to be really good as well. The service was also great and I'll definitely be coming back!

The chai here is the highlight — rich, flavorful, and made just right. You can tell it’s prepared with care, and it has that authentic taste you don’t easily find everywhere. The menu also has a good variety of snacks and light meals that pair really well with the tea. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service felt genuine. They take the time to make sure everything is done properly, which adds to the overall experience. Overall, it’s a solid spot if you’re looking for authentic chai and a cozy place to hang out.

I like the generally peaceful atmosphere here as there is no loud or quiet music playing and it is nice and quiet. The uncle is helpful and the food is nice Allahumma baarik. I recommend the beef cheese paratha, it is well spiced. The karak chai is good.

A cozy spot offering authentic Indian chai, paired perfectly with puff patties, paratha’s, chaat, cake slices, and sandwiches. The warm, no-frills atmosphere and comforting flavors make it a great place for a casual bite or a nostalgic tea break.

Chai Shai Cafe offers a cozy and straightforward ambiance that feels welcoming, though the experience was somewhat marred by a lack of functioning air conditioning during our visit, making it uncomfortable to stay inside. The chai, however, was excellent—aromatic and flavorful, clearly the highlight of the menu. Unfortunately, the walnut cake didn’t live up to the same standard, being just average. While the cafe has potential, the uncomfortable atmosphere and mediocre dessert took away from what could have been a more enjoyable experience.
