Why Chai Theory
A simple theory: good chai makes people stay
Brewed, not dispensed
Every chai is boiled to order with fresh ginger and whole spices. It takes a few minutes. We think it is worth it.
Kolkata on a plate
Veg chops, egg devils, kathi rolls and mishti doi sit next to sandwiches and brownies. Something for every craving.
Room for adda
Long tables for friends, quiet corners for laptops and enough space for a pram. Stay for one cup or three.
