Delicious chai and samosas. Both were flavorful and authentic. I liked the variety of flavors even though I stuck with the traditional option. Part of the back room was under renovation so we didn’t get to experience the full atmosphere but we were able to get a table on a Sunday afternoon. Cute outside seats too. Friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back.
I liked this place alot! The chai tasted good, it was a pricier than other places for the size. When I went, it was spacious in the lounge room. I had enough space to lay down. Theres board games you can borrow. No shoes allowed in the lounge room. Such a cute place to sit and relax and decompress. I stayed for about an hour, and there were other guests who stayed longer. Theres a bathroom if you need to use it. They also have an outdoor lounge area. The decorations are pretty!
It looked so much better on social media. So crowded especially during inclement weather. I met a friend here during a rainy day and it was quite busy. I waited a while for my friend and luckily found a corner to sit. While the seats were comfortable, it wasn’t a big space. I originally thought it would be a causal spot for a date, but everyone is so close to each other. Most people don’t stay long. People don’t usually order “food” and tea. Samosas are $6. I had tea which was $8. What kind of tea costs that much? Crossed this one off my list.
The back of the cafe has a lovely area decorated with beautiful cushions and carpets to relax and hang out with friends. The chai unfortunately all have sugar added as they are premade. The fresh press with cardamom was great would recommend.
Cute spot with a cozy lounging area in the back. Chai was delicious though on the pricier side. Back area is shoes off and has cushions and cushioned seats and small tables, some board games. Great place to wait for a reservation nearby or just to hang out for a minute.
This is a really cute and cozy place for chai. The chai itself was a small serving but really good. They only have cookies and samosa for food. The samosa wasn’t that great. I love that it’s shoes off traditional sit on the floor kind of space. Very colorful and fun. I think the service wasn’t super friendly but they still helped out.
More like 3.5 stars. I have definitely had better same type of chai elsewhere at a cheaper price in the city.
Got rose coconut milk chai for around $6, the taste was not what I expected, it was okay. Also got samosas, they were mildly spicy and tasty. The ambience and seating arrangement is great, they have a bunch of games too.
Overall a good one time experience.

Delicious tasty butter chai. In fact, its the best chai I’ve ever had! The samosa was spicy and very good as well. Thank you 🙏🏽
The space is nice , warm and comfortable! Lots and lots of colorful cushioned seating ❤️
Devante is a perfect host and excellent conversationalist. Thanks Devante for a beautiful New York moment. I enjoyed our talk about the chai and our different boroughs.
Another superb spot adding to the awesomeness that is NYC ❤️🎉
