The curry and chai was excellent!! I only wish I could’ve tried the Momo’s as well. The coconut mango chai was super light and refreshing, definitely worth a try!

I was looking for vegetarian options and this is one of the few places that came up. The fries were delicious and the veggie dumplings were surprisingly good! Loved the Horchaitea as well. Food doesn’t take too long but wish they’d run it out at the same time. My boyfriend had his food well before I did (steaming dumplings takes longer).

Chiya Chai has been on my visit list for a while and finally got to try it. It was worth the wait. True to its name, this place is a chai lovers paradise. With more than 150 combinations of chai brewed in house, this place will make you come back for more.

A great place for Indian food!! Chai tea too. Wow soooo good. Here’s what we had, in order starting with the most popular items at our table. You’ll see the vegetarian items were the most popular. And the spice level for the food was mild/medium so everyone at the table enjoyed the food.

Fast-casual Nepalese dining that is also trying to be a coffee/tea shop. There are Nepalese goods for sale and chai take-home growlers.

The coffee would have tasted better, had I not had an argument with the manager about the discrepancy in the size of the drink I ordered. I found that the manager’s insistence that the menu board was correct, that I the customer should receive a small cup for a medium macchiato, because it’s about the amount of shots, not the cup size….

Recommend the chai latte flight – pistachio and turmeric were the best! The veggie momos were very good!

A fun place that is trying to serve Indian styled flavorful “chai” and snacks. The taste was close but not similar to an Indian chai – we found it a bit spicy for our taste and they also had a spicy masala chai option.

We were walking to the car and came across this place. Recommend the Masala chai. Really flavorful. I got the cardamom and ginger. In all honesty it was just basic, if your Indian just imagine cold cha. One thing I disliked was the chai was not fully strained. Idk not a big fan of that. Staff is super nice and quick in answering questions. We also got the veggie momos she let us know right away it would be 10-15 mins which we appreciated the heads up. A bit on the pricey side but if your wanting to explore a different side of Indian cuisine give it a try!
