The Chaiwala - Kolkata

Ambience was good. Food was also delicious. Nice place to hangout with frnds

For some days now, a new eatery at the heart of north Kolkata has become the holy grail to the food loving bengalis - #The_Chaiwala. I have tasted some of their delicious items earlier as well. So, without much delay, I thought to write about them here. A passive desire was kept on coming to me from the last couple of days to get a old school nostalgic feeling of this place near the Star theatre at Hatibagan. I have been here before also a few times – a small cozy place reminiscing the centuries old north Kolkata vibe, soft house music in the background, every smiling cordial behaviour of the staffs – what else do we want from a leisure filled evening. Variety in their menu is quite diverse – spanning from waffles, pan cakes, pasta, spaghetti to deserts, frappe, tea, coffee and mocktails. This has to be an ideal place for a high calorie evening snack. So, one fine evening, after the office, I found myself in front of The Chaiwala with my very own partner in (eating) crime. We had ordered Smoked Pork and Bacon Grilled Sandwich, Fries with Cheese and Bacon and Pea-ca-cho Frappe. Didn’t have to wait long to get them on our table. Our pure meat loving souls were wondering a bit after seeing some greens in the sandwich (although it had reduced the guilt of such a high calorie intake). But the filing of pork and bacon was in such a quantity that it tamed our hungry souls in no time and have completely blown our minds. We couldn’t even realise when the fries was over while we were chit-chatting. The combination of french fries and tomato sauce never seemed to get old. Along with that cheese dipped french fries and bacon were so well cooked and tasty, that they were just melting in the mouths. We were at cloud nine by then. And last but not the least, we moved towards the Pea-ca-cho frappe. This immensely tasty frappe was made from peanut butter and chocolate chips with some whipped cream on top. We both have enjoyed it to the last drop. It will be a sin to count calories while enjoying the nice evening at The Chaiwala. Although the place is a bit expensive serving such high calorie snacks, you will get satisfied for sure. The evening was well spent. We will definitely visit The Chaiwala again and again to experiment with their variety of other dishes. P.S. This post would be incomplete without the mention of this one more item - Belgian Waffle with Chocolate Sauce and Ice Cream. This is a heavenly dish. We were about to jump on it with knife and fork as soon as it had arrived on our table. But taking a photo is a must, right ? A couple of waffles layered with Belgian chocolate and having a snow white vanilla ice cream scoop on top. It didn’t end there, to fill our souls with more, there was chocolate sauce as topping. Our heart cheered with “aah haa” as soon as we saw the dish. When the ice cream was melting down over the waffles and chocolate and was slowly dripping on the sides of the plate – our mind was also getting melted along with it. The combination of hot and crispy chocolate dipped waffle and vanilla ice cream had surely and truly made us its die hard fan. The taste is so unimaginable and unforgettable, your mind will definitely reach the la la land.

The staff here is excellent.Very cooperative and friendly. The ambience is very nice. The colours are warm inside . One can see the barista making their coffee infront of them. The quality of the items is par excellence and quantity is also decent. My recommendations are- 1. Cafe Bonbon 2. Chaiwala special Chai 3. Assam tea 4. Darjeeling Tea for two people two have a decent evening snack,it is gonna cost approximately 400 for two persons

It's a small cafe in between the lanes of hatibagan. Nice ambience. Food quality is awesome. A little bit expensive but a good place for hangout.❤️

My first experience with chaiwala and it was pretty good. Interior & ambiance was just excellent. I call for Darjeeling chai and spaghetti aglio e olio. Spaghetti aglio e olio : it's a spaghetti pasta toasted with white sauce, Rosemary, gurlic, chilli flakes, and chicken strips.topted with cheese. It's really so yummy and delicious. Darjeeling tea : As good as you want a darjeeling tea in a cup.

Well designed interiors, charming lights, & cool atmosphere will enhance your mood to enjoy. Soft music gonna also melt your heart. Delicious foods are also available in reasonable price.

This is the newly launched outlet in Hatibagan. Located at a 5min walking distance from star theatre at a left hand side lane. Great modern ambience with enough seating capacity both outside and inside. The staff were very helpful and courteous. Coming to the food they have wide spread dishes of snacks and drinks including manu unique tea flavours. Their one of the the signature dishes are GRILLED CHICKEN BURGER which is mind blowing. It may sound basic but one can feel the juicy flavourful chicken patty within the crunchy lettuce ? served with french fries and ketchup all for 170 bucks only. (5/5 ⭐) Secondly tried some basic sandwich which is ham and cheese sandwich. It was good but not great, felt a little dry. Price - ₹190 (4/5 ⭐) For beverages tried, 1. The Irish frappe with whipped cream which was absolutely yummy no doubt it is recommended.(5/5 ⭐) 2. Chaiwala special chai which was also amazing. (4/5 ⭐)

The place is very comphy. Space is less, however, well decorated. It has both indoor and outdoor seating space. Food is really good. And the special masala tea is amazing. I tried the Darjeeling tea which was a pure bliss. A must try place if you are in North Kolkata.
