The Elaichi chai here is sooo good! Perfectly spiced and not too sweet. We also tried the vada pav and it gave a very homely taste which I really liked! They made it fresh in front of us. Perfect spot to grab a quick bite especially great for college students since it’s so close by. The owner is also very sweet. Would definitely visit again for the Chai :)))

I had an amazing experience at this café! I ordered one of their rice bowls and a frappe, and both were absolutely delicious. The rice bowl was fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. The frappe was perfectly blended—not too sweet, just right! The ambiance was calm and cozy, with individual seating that gave a nice sense of privacy and comfort. It’s a perfect spot if you’re looking to unwind alone, get some work done, or just enjoy a peaceful meal. The customer service was also excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Highly recommend this place!

The chai was absolutely wonderful freshly made and full of flavor. The samosa is one of the best I’ve had, super crisp and tasty. Tried a few of their cookies too and they were fresh and crunchy. The owner is really friendly and the place has such good vibes. Definitely worth a visit!
