This is our fav. Adda for evening snacks . The ginger tea served here is amazing. We can sit inside and smoke . They also serve nice samosa and some junk food as well.
Our fav place, there is something in the chai of chai chowk, once you drink it.. you won't like any other tea shop. Friendly people, ginger tea is a must have. Looking forward to spend some more time with friends.
I've always taken away food from this place. This place makes yummy fried rice and chicken ❤️ at such a such price. Today I had to eat at the place. You might not like to eat here when the place is too crowded because of the excessive smoke. This is one of a sutta joint kinda place. At the end of the end if you're hungry and don't want to spend much then their food is worth buying.
Food: 4.5/5
Service: 4/5
Ambience: 1/5
Value for money: 5/5
It's a bit crowded and small place , only come here for tea and smoke. If you are not a smoker , it's best you avoid this place. Order the lime tea, pretty good.
Experiences with this place can and will vary.
If you are looking for a place where you can sit down and enjoy hours of mindless conversations with your friends.
Sadly my friend , this place is not for you.
This place is perfect for that late night tea and smoke ( if you are into that sort of thing ) .
Stand on the side of the road with your rustic chai glass in your hand and watch the world go by.
Extremely cheap and great great tea.
Authentic road side tea in a store !
I wonder why more ppl arent doing things like this 😛
Their lemon tea ( Sulaimani ) is to die for.
I can safely say ( as an expert on all matters Tea ) this is the best Lemon Tea in Bangalore!
Must visit !
Don't sit !
If you're looking for a chai-sutta place in Koramangala, look no further. This place has amazing chai, good cheap snacks and quick service. It is very redolent of the Irani cafe's of Hyderabad, with the added bonus of having a desi-chinese guy who makes an amazing chowneim. It is a good bro-hangout spot.
Do not forget to try the perfectly sweet/salty biscuits, the amazing potato and onion samosas, the mava dilkhush, bun butter and bun maska.
This place have a very good ,bad and sweet memory and its still continuing with love and care of the people who look after the place.
Been visiting this place from last 4 months and 5 to 6 times in a day as its our regular Chai Aada.
Must try lemon and ginger tea. Our favourite. Ravi Garg Tuna Subudhi Jones Elish
Much better Indian Chinese than any of other food joints that boast of their Chinese food. A regular tea joint with a few snack options for people who can't find anything after 10. Their egg noodles are worth trying.
It's located at a very convinient junction in Koramangala, right behind A2B outlet. It's a small but busy chai shop. Chai tastes great but the sugar in it can be high sometimes. The tea costs a mere 10/- bucks for a half cuppa which wont burn a hole in your pocket. Their butter biscuits at the counter cost 2/- but tastes amazing with the tea. Visit this place with your gang and you'll have great time chatting away amd slurping on some good tea.
A nice tea joint with ample space for smokers ...I like their lemon tea or the sulaimani ,infact it's a lot better than many other well known tea joints . I've never had any food from here though the samosa' looks nice ,so I can't comment on that but the tea which is served is very nice .
Great place to have some Chai! I usually have Lemon tea over here.. Its awesome compared to even Chai point and less than half the price what you get there. I would not suggest eating snacks here..Not sure about the quality.. And not the chinese noodles and stuff they serve as wel.. Doesn't look hygienic..
Go here just for Chai! Its amazing...

Must try the GINGER LEMON TEA & the black tea (sulaimani) !!
Must visit & drink after a meal!!
Really nice place to hang out for men.
Chai Chowk is rightly spotted in the heart of action in Koramangla !!!!!!!!!!
I always loved this place when I used to stay in kormangala. This is a nice place for guys to hangout have good chai and something light to eat. They serve good Chinese, actually Indian style chinese dishes.
The ginger and lemon try are worth trying for. This is my go to place on weekend when ever I head to Kormangala.
Always a crowded place, chai chowk is a typical Chai tapri. quality and economical place. lemon tea is a must have here. You may visit this place to have a casual evening hot chai..
Our regular tea/snack break-from-work place.
Wonderful Ginger Tea and nice Onion Samosas. Colleagues like the Lemon Tea as well.
Even the regular samosas are better than most places - mainly coz they are not overloaded with potato.
And absolute value for money.
Tip: If you are not a smoker, better stand outside the cafe coz it is filled with cigarette smoke(rs) all the time.
Located in Koramangala, their main branch is located in Johnson Market, Richmond town, I have been their fan since college days. This branch too has the same taste. I love the tea here, especially the black with lemon. Every trip to Bangalore I make it a point to have tea in their main branch or in Koramangala.

Been to this multiples time. The chai is awesome here but not the ambience . it's always crowded that's why they named chai chowk. For me the masala chai is the best .

Have been to this place hundreds and thousands of time. Me and my friend go to this place regularly whenever we wish to have tea. Really great. One of the most crowded tea shops.
Love this place for its ginger tea, lime tea, onion samosa and khova naan... All these are worth trying and light on the pocket.. I do want to try their rolls and Chinese items.. Also, I saw a momo counter in front of the shop today, so I have to visit this place soon.. Must visit for chai lovers!!

This is one dingy place but let that not deter you from the awesome rolls and street side Indian Chinese on a budget. I loved the roll and the hakka noodles; reminded me of my college days in Kolkata
This is a regular and small tea serving place with few options to tag along with tea. Taste of Chinese is pretty good. You can bank on this place if you feel to have some thing to eat after 10-10.30 pm. You won't love this place but you won't hate it either.
We all have those days when our budget is on a tight leash and we crave some delicious street food at the same time. Chai chowk is a place which will come to your rescue in such moments. Their tea is delicious and highly affordable while their food is decent as well. Snacks items like samosa and puffs are good while their chinese abd kolkata rolls counter are good as well. My favourites are their samosa, honey chilli potato and panneer aloo roll. Yes the ambience and crowd are a bit of a letdown but what else can you expect from a roadside cafe. So if these things dont bother you then you should surely give chai chowk a try.
Just amazing tea. Been here several times just to have tea and they never disappoint us. The ginger tea is one of the best. Mostly crowded even in late evening.
They serve amazing tea... Reasonably good food too. I would recommend the rolls.
But what brings people back is the warmth, despite the chaos. And almost everyone is a regular.
This is mini street side place with four walls built..this is a place for tea lovers..they are known for their varieties of tea..there is a small Chinese counter also just at the entrance..it is perfect for roadside Chinese food..I ordered for chicken Manchuria n it is yum!! I asked them to make it less spicy..it was perfect.
Small joint near my place. Famous for it's tea offerings. Not so clean. But one will get that street side tea cafe feel here for sure. They have one Chinese food corner too. It serves delicious Chinese food in affordable price tag. Definitely worth visiting.
This is a small joint that is located in a porche area of koramangala. They have really nice tea and Khawanaan and its very affordable. The place also has a bit of snacks to offer as well. So if you're planning on going for some tea and a snack, then I'd suggest you visit this place.
Amazing ginger tea !!
U also get a chance to have a muffin just for rs.8 which looks little unhygienic and tastes like road side bun ;)
But the quick ginger tea is the most famous of this small chai joint !! Must visit if u r a chai lover :)
This little joint reminded me of the iconic amrutatulya from pune. Great ginger tea available with live counter for Chinese food as well. Definitely worth visiting.
Great place to hang out with buddies. The chai is typically indian and the combo of biscuit and chai is just a masterpiece.
Every Indians r crazy for Chai n when we hv so many Chai stalls starting from mobile chaiwala on bicycles, to tiny shops, to sagar or CCD 's n all its difficult to rate specific. But this Chai Chowk is unique in its way. First of all d taste of Ginger tea, if u hv cold n cough, tis is ur perfect immediate remedy. Lemon tea is superb (my personal fav) n most imp its a perfect plc to meet ur buddies n talk around.. N yes since its started with Chinese fast food, so it is a hot seller too :-)
Koramangala boasts lots of tea places.. so after a nice walk in the evening this one is a good place to have tea and snacks items.. cafes are popular but nothing can beat the cup of tea at roadside shops. I liked the lemon tea. Snack items are yet to try though. Will try some other time i guess
Nice joint ... superb chai, Onion samosa. . Must visit with friends.
Had chai from couple of places in Bangalore but this is nice :)
Thanks to be my friends for taking me to this place.
Tasty and pocket friendly ! Ambiance isn't all that great but a must visit for roll lovers and awesome chai/coffee ! Good hangout place after a long tiring day ! ;)
My all time hotspot with my bestie to have tea here... Ginger tea is awesome and should try butter bun as well....
Only problem is too many people come for smoking and hence little awkward for people who dont smoke...
Today morning me and friend went to this place we wanted to have tea to new place, so we thought of trying it here. The ambience was not so good, actually we were not comfortable, but still we gave it a try. We ordered masala tea it was really tasty, ekdam mast wali chai
So being there you will not regret.
Ginger tea- awesome
Masala tea- awesome
Black tea- good
Lemon tea- good
Chicken Hakka noodles- good
Chicken fried rice- good
Great place to sit with friends and chill food with reasonable price tea start @10 and there are other snacks like shawarma, samosa (chicken and onion), bondas etc. Tea has a great taste with such a low cost .
Visited after seeing the review, tried Ginger tea and Lemon tea.
Small in size but it were good.
Visited at midnight 12 o'clock,there were many people at that time too.
In 15 bucks you can taste the heaven of a Ginger tea. One of the best ginger tea I had in recent days. Other than that they serve snacks like Samosa, bajjis too. Have seating space.
Usually crowded with chai lovers.
It's one of the oldest and famous chai cafe in Koramangala. Ginger tea is a must try. They also serve samosa, cup cakes, egg puffs etc. The service was quick too.
Overall it's a pocket friendly cafe that serves variety of chai / beverages and snacks.
Chai chowky is a great place to drink tea and spend some time with friends. Bottom line, if you are a smoker,it is the best place in Kormangala. Don't expect anything too clean just because it's a busy junction. However, the staffs there also experienced a good interaction. Apart from shawarma and other delicacies also will get in the evening. Personally, I have had a good experience. A perfect place to experience 'smoke free with chai' in Kormangala.
Has the vibes of an original chai stall , not like those shops with well designed interiors and all but best for having a nice relaxing evening or for a midnight cravings. they charge only the minimum amount for one of the well made chai that too in the heart of bangalore. And it goes along best with a rainy evening. They also has snacks like samosa here and you can find alot of local folks here drinking, so that says something about this stall
Good tea with chicken onion samosas very outlet.,. Variety teas available here
Good for hanging out with friends who wants to smoke inside a budget friendly place dont expect anything else its simply a place for you local atti
Good place for a cup of tea and samosa. Ambience and service can be improved better.
If you are looking for pocket friendly prices and some different feels. You should surely go there. Sulaimani chai here is simply amazing. This is one of the oldest cafe in Koramangala.
Typical chai shop, best quality chai, Onion samosas, chicken Samosas, Bhajjis, available in a most affordable price that too in a very porch locality like Koramangala, Definitely much better than the tea you get in local bakery, only thing wat I feel uncomfortable about this place is smoking is permitted inside the shop, however they don't sell any cigarettes or pan masala, definitely one can try, much recommended!!
Ginger tea is must try. It's open till 1. If you want a quick bite and enjoy night ride then go for it.
- good point for tea
- taste of tea is good
- place might look little shabby but it's clean
Good place for tea and price is very reasonable here
Had hot lemon tea over there, it was amazing.
Honestly it's our adda, my friends and I chill over ever whenever possible, probably one of the best tea you can find in bangalore, along with their egg bonda and samosa, which make the entire experience even better, please do drop by and try it once
Good place for a quick bite or snack. The tea here is above average compared to other shops of the same niche.
Prices are the best thing about this place as everything here costs from Rs.10-20, very cheap and is great value for money.
The aaloo samosas are amazing and go great with lemon tea.
The environment is below par as it's filled with smokers and it's unclean under the seating. Although the tables are cleaned after each customer, the place still looks messy.
Bottomline: Best place in the locality for tea and snacks!
A place to have quick chai and a smoke while seated. The Suleimani or the lemon tea is must have. Sometimes the place gets crowdy and noisy but this place is a good value for money and time. They also have Shawarmas and other eatables over here.
