I cannot follow my template for writing reviews for Arun Tea Stall, because it does not offer a place where you can sit and enjoy their fare. Rather I would talk about my experience of standing on the footpath and enjoying their offerings like everyone else of this extremely popular joint.
Located in a 'choumatha' on Shakespeare Sarani, this is an extremely popular joint for all classes of people. A small shop which does not give away the fact that it probably sells more than a couple thousands teas a day, you would be surprised to see the number of luxury cars which has parked just to enjoy a sip of their tea.
Their menu is limited. Tea, coffee, kachori, club kachori, gulab jamun, jalebi, bonda. And all of them have prices higher than regular 'tapris' around Kolkata. But the manager states, 'Kom khan, but valo khan' which roughly translates to, 'Eat less, but eat well' and the less number of menu items is definitely not a detriment to their business from the number of patrons I saw on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
The hygiene is definitely iffy and the prices are on the higher side.
Notwithstanding those facts, I will still be back because the tea was one of the best I have had in Kolkata.
Always order ,my favourite club kochiri
Gulab jamun,jalebi
