We are always looking out for Substantial and Sophisticated snacks to binge on in between meals. Chai Galli is a great option. Most restaurants are opened only during specific times for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Many a times, we do not want proper dishes of appetizers or main course but something quick and light yet satisfying during the evenings. It is hard searching for cafes and other places serving food throughout the day that fits within budget. A coffee lover is spoilt for choices with the presence of international brands like Starbucks, Barista etc in every locality. Nevertheless Research shows that on average, Indian Consumers prefers tea more than coffee compared to our Western Counterparts. We do spot huge rush outside local tea shops that have started from nothing and are booming.  I am glad to see wonderful outlets like this picking up the needs of people by offering ‘Chai’ and doing well competing with the big players selling ‘Kaapi’.

Food- Peach Icetea, Cold Coffee is superb and refreshing. Garlic ‘Khakra‘ is brilliant. Cheese Vada Pav was fantastic with the right spice and filling. Corn Shots is Incredible. It’s basically a crispy shell made of flour also called ‘puri’  stuffed with goodness. Chole Kulcha was outstanding with a nice flavour and soft bread. Simple Margarita Pizza is excellent. Can match any thin crust pizza from high end Italian restaurants. Takde Waali Maggie was remarkable. With different variety of numerous States specialities on the menu from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Everyone will literally find their cup of tea here irrespective of whether you like Masala, Cutting, Mumbai or Rajastani Chai. (7/10)

Service- Splendid. Fast, courteous and efficient staff. But the hospitality can be more welcoming. No valet facility or parking arrangement. However it may not be difficult finding a spot as there is a lane on the opposite side which is quite free compared to the hustle bustle of the main street. (6/10)

Pricing- Moderate/ Economical. Certain items are Pocket friendly. Some might be a bit expensive with not much value for money. Overall a delightful experience. A perfect place to chill and hang out with friends. (7/10)
