Chaayos Tea – Chai That You Must Try
The highlight of the brand – Chaayos tea. 4 things from their tea menu that you must-order:
1. Desi Chai
Doodh kam ya zyada?
Chai patti kitni?
Aur cheeni?
Masala kaunsa daalen?
Did you know that the tea at Chaayos can be personalized in 80,000 ways? Well we have definitely tried over 10 ways to customize our chai ketlis at multiple locations (in cafe and delivery). Each time, our requests were fulfilled 100% and the instructions followed to the T.
Available in two sizes – choti ketli and mini ketli.
Price: Rs 129/- (Mini ketli)
2. Kulhad Chai
Chai in a kulhad is the ONLY way to have it. Don’t you agree?
A warming masala chai with a tinge of saffron for those cold winter evenings. You cannot customize the milk or masalas here, just the sugar can be adjusted. Goes best with atta and dry fruit cookies.
Price: Rs 159/- (Mini ketli)
3. Masala Chai Premix
If you, like us, cannot do without your cup of chaa while traveling, the masala chai premix by Chaayos is here to satisfy your cravings. In fact, Chaayos won at the Mishry HQ when we were testing different brands of masala chai premixes last year.
What we liked – higher amount of premix powder per sachet, robust aroma and flavor of ginger and pepper, warming notes of clove, and the fact that this resembles a homemade kadhi hui chai.
Price: Rs 105/- for a 5 sachet pack.
4. Chai Masala
Add a pinch to your homemade chai and expect wonderful, warming flavors. This masala is potent and just a pinch goes a long way. We liked the ginger-cardamom dominant flavors with a surprising hot of black pepper at the end of the cup.

Price: Rs 237/- for 100 gm

Chaayos Food
Buns, pavs, toasts and more. Best things to order from their food section –
1. Bun Maska + Bun Bhujia
How much butter goes into a single bun maska? 1 chiplet? 100 grams? Who knows!!? Well, it’s definitely more than that! A copious amount of butter in a warm sesame encrusted bun is just what you need with your chai.
Want to level up? Try the bun bhujia. Crisp bhujia sandwiched between butter soaked buns that you just can’t miss.
Price: Rs 79/- and Rs 99/- respectively
2. Vada Pav
The soft pav, spicy green chutney, fried green chillies and the aloo in between – what’s not to like. A small but satisfying snack from Chaayos that is a must-try.
Price: Rs 99/-
3. Chilli Cheese Toast
If you’re looking for something desi with a cheesy twist, we suggest going for the spicy chilli cheese toast. This is not meant for those who have a low chilli tolerance. The green chillies on top might be a tad bit too much.
Price: Rs 209/-
4. Homestyle Meals
Skipped breakfast while rushing to work? Say hello to the homestyle upma and poha by Chaayos. Trust us when we say, we have done this more than we would like to admit.
The ghee loaded upma is extremely filling and can easily be shared by 2. The poha is khila-khila and acts as a fuel.
Price: Rs 169/- and Rs 129/-
5. Samosa Meals
Be it inside a warm chutney-slathered bun or in the form of a chaat, the samosas are a must-try at Chaayos. After all, what is better than a warm cup of chai with a samosa snack.
We liked the wholesome stuffing and the crisp casing.
Price: Rs 199/- and Rs 159/-
6. Podi Idli
Soft mini idlis tossed in a fairly spicy podi, splattered with a generous amount of mustard seeds. Sent with a mild coconut chutney, this is best when hunger strikes between meals.
Price: Rs 219/-
Chaayos At Home – Ready to Eat
Take a piece of Chaayos home with these –
1. Mini Samosa
What we love about these is the crisp outer casing and commendable textural interplay in the filling. Chewy plump raisins, cashews, fine sev that adds a subtle crispiness is all superb.
Read more details in our full review of the Chaayos Mini Samosa.
Price: Rs 124/-
2. Methi Mathi
Winter evenings, a cool breeze, warm chai and some khasta mathi. Ah, bliss! Small, bite sized thick mathis that have robust flavor of methi and pairs well with any masala chai.
Price: Rs 119/-
Chaayos cookies hold a special place on your table if all you want are some crunchy sweet treats. These are generously topped with dry fruits and are ‘khasta’. Very travel friendly and we love them!

Price: Rs 21/- (2 pc pack)
A product we suggest you stay clear of – The chocolate chip cookies
