Darjeeling Garden - The Chai Bar — Restaurant in Ixelles - Elsene

Amazing chai! If you're looking for something authentic, then this is it. I'd gone about 4 days without proper chai and as a desi boy was starting to have withdrawals. Luckily I stumbled upon this place on my last day.

I had the ginger chai - which was very well balanced, not too sweet and a good profile of spice. It was also made with oat milk, so it's a great option for those with dairy allergies and are looking for something a bit different. The touch of Black cardamon topped it off perfectly.

The owner, who mentioned that she grew up in Darjeeling, was super kind, and we had a great conversation about tea in India and how she makes hers. She definitely knows her stuff! I look forward to coming back. Again, if you're looking for something...

Finally took the time to visit Darjeeling Garden to try their chai and just sit down to relax and read. So glad I did! I got their regular chai and a slice of matcha cake (the texture was sooo tasty: creamy, velvety, and moist. Yum!). The chai was really good too, super comforting. I ended up spending almost an hour there reading my smutty book and honestly, it felt like home.

I love how the place is filled with second-hand/flea market furniture:it gives it such a cozy, lived-in vibe. Nothing too polished, just warm and welcoming. Definitely...

Two stars because of nice interiors but horrible attitude and dirty bar and toilets.

Coffee is terrible, food is mediocre, and they are very stingy brewing the tea, its very very light, you barely taste it.

Dont let the high rating mislead you, just check how the managers replied to bad comments here.

Today the lady at the bar told a customer to not come again because she thought they did not consume enough 😱

Hope this place changes management soon because it is such a pity that such places are run by...
