Went here with a chai lover. Not a great fan of tea but liked tea here. Tried Mumbai special sandwich. Wasn't that great but not a disappointing one too. Sandwich dint feel any special to me. Ambience is great. Good place to have good conversations.
Great menu
Great service only when it comes to tea serving.
Food is okay okay
Ambience- 5/5
Its a cute and surprisingly spacious space, with rustic ambience. The chai ☕️ here is just perfect. The food combos are thoughtful and delicious!
This place has such great ambience the Chai ketli with Bollywood movies that's really amazing and something innovative. The food is good at decent price. Try chole chulche, tea, parathas.
5 star for the retro Bollywood ambience. Good quantity chai.

What better way to spend the cold evenings of Bengaluru than with a hot cup of chai and some pakoras? Well, this cosy little café located on JNC Road in Koramangala is your answer to all of your chai needs.
SHORT REVIEW:
Pocket-friendly pricing, no-nonsense menu that has all your needs covered, cosy and comfortable place, and conveniently located on the JNC Road. What more can you ask of a café? Oh yes, the food is quite tasty as well. No complaints about the service either!
MUST TRY:
Bulldozed, Darjeeling Soda, Tofu Bhurji, Angrezi Maggi, Pesto Maggi, Chikku Cream
DETAILED REVIEW:
Was here one evening with a couple of friends, so we tried a few items from the menu. These included:
Bulldozed – This is a unique twist on iced tea, which is laced with Red Bull, which I love. The drink was really amazing and helped me feel quite refreshed.
Darjeeling Soda – Although listed under the category of teas, this is primarily lime soda. However, it was one among the better lime sodas I’ve had anywhere.
Angrezi Maggi – A twist on the normal maggi, with enhanced flavours and spices, it is large enough to fill your tummy. The taste is awesome too!
Pesto Maggi – Another variant of their Maggi preparation, this has hints of pesto sauce. While I would have liked the pesto flavour to be a bit more dominant, it was tasty nonetheless.
Tofu Bhurji – This dish deserves a super-special shoutout! Even if you aren’t a fan of Tofu, after eating this dish, you are sure to fall in love with it. It tasted almost exactly like egg/paneer bhurji and you couldn’t even make out it is tofu! Kudos to the chef!
Garlic Khakra – This a normal khakra, nothing unique about it, but serves as a good accompaniment to a hot cup of tea.
Alu Samosa – Not many places in Bangalore make good samosas, and this one here, I have to admit, is a really good one.
Shroomy Risotto – Didn’t have high expectations of a good risotto, considering it is a chai café, but boy was I wrong! The risotto was quite authentic and yummy, with generous helpings of mushroom.
Mumbaiwalla Sandwich – Had some high expectations on this sandwich, but it was pretty average.
Mosambi Juice – This is probably the tastiest and thickest Mosambi juice I have tasted. Loved it!
Chikku Cream – Not many places serve fruit cream in Bangalore and I was excited to try this item. It was heavenly to say the least. Definitely a must-have if you visit.
I wasn’t in the mood for hot teas that day, so decided to give it a skip, and come back some other time for their hot teas, which I have heard are awesome.
OVERALL VERDICT:
If you like having tea with some light snacks, either solo or with friends, this place is definitely worth a visit.
We visited this place for an evening snack and tried a few items. The food was awesome and the service was prompt. We tried Angrezi Maggi, Nachos Platter, Shikanji and Darjeeling Soda. All the dishes were prepared well and the taste was great. The service was also quite good. Looking forward to visiting this place again.
This cafe with its rustic and Bollywood styled theme is worth a visit. The colorful interior teamed with bollywood movie posters and quirky lighting add up to the glam factor. They have an extensive range of teas for every pallate.
Cutting Elaichi Chai
Definitely all the chai lovers are going to this place without a doubt just after seeing this picture.
There is huge variety of chai to select from with some great evening snack options.
Cutting elachie chai had a really mild and refreshing flavour served in a teapot with a cute Parle-G to make it a perfect combo.The place has an amazing ambience making you feel nostalgic with its 90's ke gane and bollywood theme

Chai Galli for the best Jasmine tea, cutting chai, masala chai, Tulsi chai goes on and on.
Chai is an anytime drink for us. We love chai and we have it twice a day. A good Authentic cup of chai, those you find in any Indian street corners is a perfect balance between tea and milk. @chai galli brews tea in such a way that perfectly combines the strength of black tea with sweetness of hot milk, made amazing with adding sugar. Chai lovers must visit @chai galli for the perfect Authentic tea with Parle-G biscuits.
Chai is India's most popular and beloved beverage. Chai lovers are in every book and corner of the country. Chai has always been and excellent conversion builder. We love going for tea parties and chai galli is the perfect place as the ambience is set for the perfect cup.
Cutting chai is my favorite, it is all time classic and with less milk more water. The taste completes when u dip the Parle-G biscuits into it and take a bite. No words to explain this perfect combination. Jasmine tea is nothing but the best I like to have when I don't feel like having tea with milk and sugar. Not always you have green tea, jasmine tea is also a choice for people who do not want to have milk in tea.
Tea is not complete without a snack with it. The perfect snack is the baji or Bun maska. I also love the combination of maggi and tea. Aloo samosa loved by all Indians and vada pav is the best at chai galli. They have the complete list of snacks that will be best combined with a cup of chai. The onion baji is the best. Most of us love to have Pastas with tea. @chai galli has anything that goes with tea. Tea is nothing but an emotion for India and we love to have it with the best combination of snacks not just a cup of it.

A quite corner on weekdays at the busy church street. Not sure how it will be on weekends.
Fairly large selection of local foods and a smattering of pizza and pasta thrown in.
We just had some aloo tiki chat and Adrak tea.
Chaat : was fresh and hot
Tea : light (I like mine strong ) but good. Pot for 2 is sufficient for 4.
Happy service
They have variety of chai and i tried adrak chai which was good.
The way of serving chai is unique and also they offer Parle-G biscuit small pack with chai which is free.
Ambiance was good and cool themes they have made up with.
Do visit and enjoy and spend good time.
This is a budget friendly place on church street with a quirky bollywood theme ambience and a colorful seating which I l loved! They have varieties of freshly brewed tea that you can enjoy such as cutting chai, sulaimani chai, ice tea or cold coffee and more! They have snack, lunch or dinner options in food. Don’t miss their super budget friendly meals at Rs. 132! It’s so fresh and tasty, I loved it!!
Do try their Vada Pav , Pav Bhaji, veg pakoda , pizza and sandwiches!!
Highly recommend you guys to visit this place!
Heard a lot about this place in church street. I tried the special falooda, the taste was wholesome. I have heard that the chai is good too and they have a lot of snack options. The whole vibe there is of bollywood theme with old Hindi songs on the background and Hindi actors posters. They have a cute little chai related decorations and also swing seats which are great for a good pic! Enjoyed the cute vibe.
We stumbled upon this place with a rather interesting menu. We ordered a masala Maggie, cheese vada pav and paneer pizza. The Vada pav was an absolute winner for me! If you have low spice tolerance, the masala Maggie might be too much for you. Pizza was average but the masala chai in the end made up for it!
The vibe was great. It has a Bollywood theme. The setting is good for hanging out with friends or even talking a partner for date. Family friendly place. Staff behaviour is very good. And the place was very clean and hygenic. Would recommend. Had fun sipping some tea on a rainy day.
A good place in church street to chill and relax over a cup of chai and some food.
The taste of food is good , but the service is a bit on the slower side.
The ambience of the place is good , with all the lights , taps and all made up of some theme relating to a chai stop
Overall would recommend this place.
Best place 🥰 so good food 😋 Very tasty and well prepared cannot recommend this place enough! Such a warm and welcoming environment!❤️
