Very cozy atmosphere! The chai is absolutely amazing! They have many options to choose from and everyone can have something to enjoy! The staff is always very friendly!! (And helpful if you’re indecisive like me!)

Update in Oct-2025:
What happened, Chiya Chai? Did you forget how to make decent food, or feel the pressure to Americanize the cuisine and the result is whatever you're trying to pass off as pani puri, aloo gobhi, etc.?

The curries were far too salty and the pani puri? I'll let the pictures speak.

Downgrading to 2 stars. The chai is still decent.

Original review:

The food is great but the service becomes sluggish when you're in a party of more than four people and dine in the back. We were 12 people and it took close to 1.5 hours for our entrees to be served. We'd ordered only drinks and entrees.

The chai is terribly inconsistent in quality. I usually have the Mumbai cutting and sometimes it's perfectly balanced with milk and spices, and at other times, it feels like hot water with crumbs of spice floating in it.

On the plus side, try their aloo gobhi, garlic parantha and dumplings (momos). They are pretty freakin' good.

-1 star for the service and -1 for serving terrible chai.

yummy food and drinks at a reasonable price, lots of seating and overall cute vibe

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while because it seems like a great spot, but I’ve noticed the exterior windows are often really dirty. It gives me pause, since the outside of a business usually reflects the care put into the inside. I truly hope that’s not the case here, because it looks like a place I’d enjoy! A good window cleaning would make such a difference and help attract more people to stop in.

Love all the chai here. Sev Puri is so good too.

I love chai and there are so many options—and everything is SO good. The person tending me was so gentle with my low blood sugar indecision. Cute decorative detail and I will be back for adult beverages another time.

sad they don’t have the chili potatoes anymore but the Aloo tikki chaat was delicious. The chai is great as always. They also have fall specials and the apple pie chai was so good

I love this neighborhood gem! So many varieties of the most delicious chai - all made in house and to order. The food is great too. Awesome casual spot for chai, a snack, or a full meal.

Came here for the first time to get takeout food and it was a great experience!

I tried the samosa chaat, masala fries and the desi chai and they were all really good. Everything was ready pretty fast and the environment in there was also very cute! I would reccomend for a quick bite or if you want to go to a cafe to study / work. It was also very reasonably priced.

Indian approved. Ignore Tina's high and mighty review below. The food is good, a tad Americanized? Yes. This is Logan Square not New Jersey.
