Chaiiwala

Walk into Chaiiwala and you're immediately hit with the smell of cardamom, ginger and properly brewed chai—the kind that makes you forget every mediocre cup you've had before. It's the sort of place where locals pile in for their fix, whether that's first thing on a Monday morning or mid-afternoon when the sugar crash hits. The vibe is unpretentious and genuinely warm; you're shoulder-to-shoulder with regulars who know exactly what they're ordering. Beyond the tea, the street food snacks punch well above what you'd expect from a café tucked away on Manor Parade. Everything's made with actual care, and at these prices, it feels like a proper bargain.
