Chai Pe Charcha - Mumbai

The name itself exudes a casual, classy and extremely tapri type vibes. Well this is what they exactly are. An extremely well-crafted interior with a dainty and colourful vibe, the beautifully painted kettles hung over each table. The place has a raw yet friendly vibe to it. Each of their tables have board games set atop them with a box full of colourful dice and coins to enjoy while having a cup of tea or some munchy samosa. Although they have a self-service, the staff takes great care to check on every table and make sure the place is spick and span. We were invited to review them and we started our meal with their charcha special tea. Served with a complimentary biscuit puff, this glass of ginger and lemongrass tea is sure to blow off the day’s steam. It sends a flow of energy throughout. We also tried their special lemon tea. For those, who are a pure kadak chai people, this one will surely coerce you into changing your pick. It had just the right balance of lemon, tea as well as ginger. We loved the taste and flavours of this one. With every sip, you could feel a surge of lemon in your body. A great accompaniment to these cups of tea were the Gulkand Bun Maska. Soft brown buns stuffed with a layer of maska and a layer of gulkand smeared atop it was probably one of the simplest delicacies you could try. We loved this one, especially with sips of their charcha special tea. The first dish that we tried here was the Khakra Nachos. This is a desi twist to our beloved nachos. However, this desi version is definitely at par with the firangi ones. This version had the base of methi khakra topped with khaata meetha tamarind chutney as well as a spicy green chutney. Over this, they had a layer of molten cheesy sour cream. This was a never-tried-before dish and is definitely worth the experience. After this, they came with one of their best-selling cheese parathas. Soft, thick and extremely homely paranthas and homemade curd and achar give you a perfect meal. The cheese was seasoned with chilli flakes and stuffed inside the crust too. A bit more of seasoning could have made it even better but even this one was a delight. After this we tried one more never-seen-before, Dum Chai Cold Tea. Now this one was a sibling to our modest cold coffee. However, this one was strongly flavoured with tea and vanilla added the chill to it. It is a must try and if you are a tea person you might enjoy the bursting flavours in your mouth. Not long after this, we had their American Corn Bhel. This has the most delicious flavours. It is very rare that the flavours get integrated into the corn prominently and give a spicy as well as sweet touch. In this one you could taste the flavours of onion, tomato and chatpata masalas. This one again is extremely warm and soulful food. After this, we had the Paneer Bhurji Pav. The pav was smothered in butter and the bhurji was a deliciously flavoured one. With a perfect amount of mashed paneer and veggies, this one was sure to make you drool over it. It was perfect from the first bite to the last. The Cheese Chilli Toast was also crunchy and had a perfect balance of spicy chillies and sweet cheese with an added on crunch by the bread. Toasted perfectly, this one was a delight. The final touch was given by the Nutella Toast Sandwich. Now this one was something which not only had nutella in it, but an extra crunch of nuts and crumbs toasted to slight golden brown. The nutella and crushed peanuts went well together and made the toast taste like a bar of ferrero rocher. This is by far one of the best nutella sandwiches that we have had. It is a must try. The place has everything on point. Right from the ambience, the games, free WiFi, some extremely delicious dishes, innovative fusions and the touch of kadak chai with an air of cheerfulness. It ticks all the checkboxes and is definitely worth a 5 on 5! Ambience: 5/5 Taste Quotient: 5/5

As they say, never judge a book by its cover. Trust me although this place is really tiny, it has got the best food. We had the bread pakoras which were amazing ????, reminded me of Delhi. The corn cheese sandwich that we had was super yummy too. The chai. Was served with a rusk and it was one of the best chais i have had. Even the lassi is yummy. The table has a snake and ladder board game on it and a box with the dice and all to play. It is very cute dhaba style and the person serving and taking the order is also really courteous.

Great place in a bustling street. Snack options are limited but they are good. A variety of chai is available to quench the thirst of chai lovers. They give sugar separately. A little bit overpriced but the internal decor is good enough to convince you to pay extra. Staff is courteous.

A nice place to enjoy a hot cup of tea after a long day. They actually serve the tea in glasses you'd find at any tapri to keep the authentic look. The place has a nice ambience and is very colourful. You should try out the onion bhajiyas with your cup of tea. And feel free to play a game or two of Ludo or Snake and ladders while you enjoy your snacks.
