Generally, Chiya Ghar has tea and bakery items. But the day we visited the place, they were just serving tea. Unfortunately, we couldn’t taste their bakery products. But we were fine with that because we wanted tea and amazing tea was what we got.
The first thing we ordered was Matka Chiya. It is apparently one of the most popular drinks on the menu. It comes in two sizes but we decided to get the small one. The tea was good. They used the right amount of tea leaves and the spices they used tied the drink together. I liked the fact that they placed dried and grated coconut on top that I could taste in every sip I took. However, I wasn’t happy with the portion they served. The size of the cup was too small. So, for your visit, I suggest you order a large one to actually enjoy your tea. Another one of Chiya Ghar’s specialties is Creamy Milk Iced Tea. Although the look of it was quite appealing, I wasn’t a big fan of this drink. It wasn’t exactly how I anticipated it to be. The texture was too rough for me, even though the flavors were well-balanced. It tasted somewhat like the ‘Panchamrit’, a drink typically served during poojas in a Hindu household. It was also slightly on the pricey side. When we asked for some of their specials, the staff suggested we try the Lemon Iced Tea. I didn’t really like it. The drink was too sour for my taste although the aroma was good. All the flavors were imbalanced, and the actual flavor of the tea was completely missing. If only they had used a little less lemon, the drink would have been better. I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone. But for anyone looking to try new things, maybe it’s worth a shot. This place is both good and bad. It depends on what you are looking for in a cafe because, despite everything, the place was totally packed. I believe this place is well-suited for students who are looking to have an affordable cup of tea with friends. There is no internet so you won’t be distracted by social media. A really good thing about Chiya Ghar, one that I really appreciated, was that their service was superb. Even during their busiest hours, the staff was kind and assisted us in picking the house specials. Their specials:
- Matka Tea
- Creamy Milk Iced Tea
- Lemon Iced tea
