Sitara Tea & Bakers — Restaurant in Hyderabad

Sitara Tea & Bakers is an absolute gem for chai and snack lovers! Their Irani chai is truly exceptional—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Every sip feels authentic and keeps you coming back for more. The bakery selection is extensive, featuring classics like Osmania biscuits (my favorite!), fine biscuits, tie biscuits, dum ke roat, and cream buns. The Osmania biscuit, in particular, is crumbly, just sweet enough, and pairs brilliantly with their chai. For savory cravings, you’ll find fresh egg, chicken, and veg puffs, along with fast food such as burgers, sandwiches, and a tempting range of fried items including tasty onion, chicken, and veg samosas.

Sitara has six other branches across Hyderabad, a testament to its popularity and consistent quality. The vibe here is distinctly Hyderabadi—groups of boys and uncles hang out in clusters, enjoying conversations in a relaxed, low-traffic area. You can always spot buddies in groups of four or five sharing laughs. Takeaway chai is a big plus for those on the move, and the place is open daily from 6am till midnight for all your cravings.

Sitara Tea & Bakers is an absolute gem for chai and snack lovers! Their Irani chai is truly exceptional—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Every sip feels authentic and keeps you coming back for more. However, the taste does depend on how well the milk is cooked. The process here involves pouring milk into a small container and making chai until it’s finished, then refilling. At the beginning, the milk can be a bit raw and undercooked, which slightly affects the flavor. But as time passes and the milk cooks thoroughly, the chai develops that signature richness.

The bakery section is equally impressive, serving classics like Osmania biscuits and small fine biscuits. The Osmania biscuit, kept warm in a hot cabinet, is especially delightful—crumbly, lightly sweet, and pairing perfectly with their chai. For savory cravings, you’ll find samosas, veg puffs, chicken puffs, and more.

Sitara’s popularity is evident from its six other branches across Hyderabad, all maintaining the same standard of taste and quality.
