The surge of tea places in Delhi is a result of Delhites getting bored of fancy foreign coffee places. Many of these branded coffee places serve overpriced coffee and are always crowded, noisy and run by untrained staff. We love tea and always look for good and affordable tea places in Delhi NCR. Wagh Bakri is one of the best tea lounges in Delhi. They feature on top in our list of tea places in Delhi.

Recently while driving past CP’s outer circle we noticed the new kid on the block – another branch of Wagh Bakri Tea Lounge. Sandwiched between Haldiram and Natural on L Block, this outlet looks like a desi Starbucks (With black board walls and stuff written with chalks etc). The premises are spread over two floors and were still smelling of fresh paint when we visited. This is a much spacious outlet and has comparatively modern interiors than their Lajpat Nagar and NSP outlets.

We ordered a pot of premium tea, spinach corn sandwiches and French Heart cookies. At this new outlet they serve tea with khakra which was in a unique oval shape, crisp and tasted yummy. Sandwiches were fresh, somewhat bland but nice. Tea was great as usual. For next round we ordered a ginger tea pot along with an Achari Paneer sandwich which is also another favourite. Apart from the khakra, rest of the stuff is just like it is in their other outlets. We were hoping, now that they are in Connaught Place, they might revamp their menu as we are a little bored with having same stuff. But nevertheless we like Wagh Bakri for the tea and look forward to many more outlets in NCR.
