The well known chai chain – Chaayos keeps changing its menu according to the season. They now have a New Monsoon menu going and we needed a shelter from the showers last Friday. We rushed into Chaayos and saw that we weren’t alone. Almost all tables were occupied by wet folks munching something or sipping chai.
This is rare. It was two firsts for us. A) Being “tea-totallers: we were keen to try the new Chaayos outlet at Connaught Place. B) Chaayos keeps tweaking their menu as per the season. The new winter menu was just launched and we were invited to try that.
Indians have woken up to the benefits of green tea and are willing to tamper their taste buds to appreciate many different varieties of tea.
Dwarka is still unexplored by people in Delhi/Gurgaon. We were in this area for the Kite Festival and explored a tea cafe here – Chaiyum. We found their chai karak and food yum.
Our exploration for new tea places continues. Being huge fans of Wagh Bakri tea lounges, we recently visited their outlet at GK. Tea is our “chicken soup for the soul” and hence we did not mind the extra drive to reach this place. Located in the GK M Block Market, this place needs a little bit of figuring out. But, once you are there, you are there
The tea boom seems to have just started. Delhi NCR is now witnessing the sprouting of cafes that have tea as their mainstay. Its not only tea as a beverage, but tea is used as ingredients in the food that they serve. Tea Trails is the new kid on the block, or accurately speaking, Opposite N block Outer Circle, Connaught Place.
The going is getting better for tea aficionados in Delhi NCR. Their options are increasing every other day. We quite accidentally came across Tea Halt at a somewhat distant mall, Good Earth City Center in Gurgaon. We decided to try out this place for a pre-lunch tea break!
Wagh Bakri has started another Tea Lounge at Outer Circle, Connaught Place. The outlet is spread on two floors and has modern interiors. Tea, as usual, is great here. CP doesn’t have too many tea options (barring Cha Bar and tea stalls on Shankar Road). Thus, this is a most welcome addition in this zone. We look forward to many more outlets in NCR.
Winter is here and so are the chai wallahs at various markets, crossings, nooks and corners. Their aromatic decoction has warmed many a winter mornings. In the last few years tea has graduated to cafes and bored of coffee, many have changed allegiance. No wonder the tea cafes are experiencing growing patronage all over NCR. We have been trying these out – for our benefit – and yours too 🙂 Here’s our report.
