My food was prepared very efficiently. I got the samosa chaat. Big flavor, nice and spicy. The spices and citrus balanced the dish perfectly. My server Shanu helped me decide what to get, since I'm a little unfamiliar with this chaat. Their desserts (the one with cottage cheese) and chai are great too. Would recommend to anyone!

Shanu is the absolute best chai chef in the world. His ability to create any tea you want depending on your unique wants and preferences is unmatched. I will come back to Chicago for Shanu's tea. If Shanu moves away from Chicago, I will go wherever he is for his tea. Hands down, Shanu makes THE best samosas and tea in all of the United States.
November 2025
I ordered the Masala Hot Chai (Tea), and although it took about 15 minutes to arrive, it was worth the wait. The place tends to get crowded, and seating is limited, so be prepared. If you're a chai lover, it's a great spot to explore a variety of unique and flavorful chai options. However, if you're looking for traditional Indian-style chai, this might not be exactly what you're expecting
