Chaayos Cafe - Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla — Restaurant in Mumbai

This Chaayos is located at Kurla, phoenix market city beside Starbucks. So this place is for all you Chai lover who can’t live without tea. They have some amazing tea that will make your day. I was in absolute love with the ambience, first of all, a pretty hug space they got with a lot amount of sitting area, and the wall art and interior was matching to the location. The place is very well managed and kept clean. Keeping it perfectly sanitized and an alternate seating arrangement provides more safety.

This place is not only for Tea but they have some lip-smacking snacks options.

What we had Tried:-

Starting was with Tea • Kulhad Chai:- Traditional kulhad (mud pot) Chai made with special Saffron masala chai simply blissful.

• Gur Wali Chai:- Highly flavoured and amazing taste. Very healthy and especially to drink in winter. It was served in mud pots. This had strong masala taste which I will prefer to drink during cold weather.

Snacks:- • Loaded Open Paratha:- First of all this was the best thing that we had delicious and new definitely you all should try this open paratha.

• Spinach Corn Cheese:- Sandwich in morning breakfast is best to have. So let's have a look at some cheesy corny and spinach twist in this sandwich.

• Sicilian Chicken Sandwich:- Spicy chicken stuffing in a soft bread.

• Pav bhaji:- This is the one thing for which I prefer to go Chaayos. Pav bhaji is delicious. Give it a try at this place. Pav bhaji is awesome. Pav is really too soft and buttery. A perfect amount of spices in bhaji served with onion chopping and lemon slice.

• Samosa Matar Chaat:- One of the best samosa chat I had in a long time. A perfect mix of spice n tanginess. Definitely try this one.

• Kaala Chana chaat - The taste is really good with the blend of the chutney.

Shakes:- •Thandi Chai:- It is quite different from ice tea. Thandi Chai is regular chai served cold. I tried Elaichi Thandi Chai, liked a lot. I am not a regular chai person but will recommend trying Thandi chai at-least once.

• Kulfi Shake:- Delicious Fragrant leave your craving for more.

In short, This place is worth being complete professionals crowed and yeah lots of visitors and yet quite calm n peacefully place it to relax with your chai. Service was amazing food was on time delivered, the staff was very helpful with the menu & selection of food or tea.

So Do...

As the name suggests, its a wonderland for chai lovers. They offer different varieties of teas customizable over end number of ways. Specially their unique chai frappé. Along with chai they will spoil you for fancy meal options. They also serve shakes, chaat, desserts. Their ambiance is so delightful. Loved their colourful chairs, hanging bulb lights and a wall full of quote frames.

What i tried :

Thandi Masala Chai - This is a must try this summer. So aromatic and rich in taste. Firstly it was chilled as ice which made it more than delicious. A perfect blend of tea, milk, Cardamom, Cloves, Ginger, Cinnamon and Nutmeg. A strong cup of freshness. Kulfi shake - This tasted so good. The texture was thick and rich in taste. Kulhad pav bhaji - This was quite fancy, Bhaji in a clay cup. They serve 2 kulhad full of bhaji. Delicious blend of all Spices. Super spicy and buttery. Served with crispy onion and highly buttered pav. Open loaded paratha paneer - Indian flatbread topped with chunks of paneer. Loved the spicy sour dressing on it. Crust was crispy like a pizza. Loved this version of Paratha. Samosa matar chaat - This was highlight of the meal. Totally flavoursome, not less than street style taste. Samosa smashed in chana masala with right amount of hot, sweet and sour Chutney, topped with tomatoes & onions.

All in all a great experience and a must try is Thandi Masala Chai &...

Instead of a simple review, I'll just give you a synopsis of my visit here! And let you decide what to make of it.

I was visiting Mumbai and as tea aficionado, my sister (a coffee drinker) wanted me to see this unique tea concept, so we went to this one, right next to a Starbucks coffee.

I order a ginger masala tea with skim milk and they said they had only 'regular milk.' So I asked for soy or almond milk and they didn't offer that choice. Beyond this the server walked away with barely a care...and we were about to do the same.

But there was a lady server who ran up to us and said maybe I could try their ready-to-go masala tea (comes in packs of 5 sachets). Keen to get a cup of tea, I bought a pack, opened it and requested them to make a cup.

What happened after should ideally have made us truly angry - but it didn't! All 3 of us burst out laughing when my cup of tea arrived in a sample cup with all the tea sachet contents in just 2 oz of hot water.

When we pointed it out - 3 to 4 servers gathered around to explain that it was just fine. And then I asked one of them to read the instructions on their own packaging. Obviously, it required the regular amount of 5-6 oz (150ml) of hot water...which they grudgingly made for me.

Needless to say, we got a real good laugh and...
