Pehle Chai — Restaurant in Gurugram District

All the Chai Nukkads (Chai Point, Chaayos, Starbucks, Chai Sutta Bar etc., were covered), and this was the only spot that wasn't marked yet. One beautiful morning, we made it here. Pehle Chai is very easy to locate. It is on the front corner side, next to the Sushant Arcade Market area. As we entered, the kitchen was busy, and we placed our order: Poha Aloo Cheese Sandwich Tulsi Chai Elaichi Chai

The staff is friendly here and suggested some items on the menu and explained the ingredients in it. I counted 24 chairs: 12 inside, 12 outside (patio area). And we waited for our order outside, and It looked like a place where one can come with a laptop and work for long hours but keep in mind this spot is opposite a busy road, and there's a lot of traffic during rush hours.

After 15 minutes, the server came with the order, and the quantity looked way more than any other brand offers, and the food tasted fresh and good. The poha was the best thing I had. The tea was over 100ml, and you may go for cutting chai. The sandwich was made using jumbo bread, and it had mayonnaise, cheese blend, and some vegetables:(literally for two persons). This doesn't happen usually. Both quality and quantity were up to the mark.

I recommend you to...

This place is very near to Huda metro station and can be reached easily with Gmaps. There is no dedicated parking but ample parking space in front of the cafe. I went during the eve here and there was a rush here and it can be estimated that it is quite popular among locals. I had ordered an Adrak Chai, Garlic bread and Dal Pakwan. The food was not great and not bad. Just Ok. The Chai was ok-ish( They prepare chai in the same utensil again and again, so if a masala chai was made before your order, you will get a taste of Masala in Adrak Chai). Apart from that, Dal Pakwan was good but I had something different in mind. It's different from the Dal Pakwan I had eaten in Jaisalmer/Jodhpur and Surat. The ambience is quite good and the service is fast. One thing I found different here is - you have to pay the bill first and then get your order. Also, the prices are on the higher side but I won't complain as it's located on the main road. I would recommend it only if you are near Huda City centre. You can also visit, if you want to spend some good time...

In a city like Gurugram when you're used to paying hefty amount at even average restaurants, this place came as a surprise. We visited this place around 9-9:30 pm and chose to sit in the outside open area. This place has a small set up of around 15-16 people outside and for around 10-12 inside. We ordered 2 teas - Ginger Honey Lemon and Kulhad Chai along with Tandoori Paneer sandwich and Pita Falafel Hummus. The service was quick and teas were served within 5 minutes and it was a different experience to have these hot teas outside on a winter evening. The food was delicious and more than sufficient for 2 people. And we paid around 550 for all this. The best part was, they didn't charge service charge of 10% which most of the restaurants put unnecessarily and ask you to pay it even when you're not legally bound to.

The only disadvantage of this place is that it's located right next to a busy road and frequent vehicle sound and honking may not let you have a peaceful time.

Overall, a nice...
