Went to this branch of Chotu Chaiwala which is far better than their bahadurabad branch we were served everything fresh and the staff was really polite unlike their bahadurabad branch staff I had a terrible experience at their bahadurabad branch where the staff rudely sent us out instead of telling us that they have no space but their bara bukhari outlet is better they have proper sitting extensive menu and a polite staff I will never recommend anyone to visit their bahadurabad branch ever

The place is famous for casual group gatherings, meet ups and quick snacking and Tea. The sitting arrangements are quite normal as its a very casual place and the food and tea is quite reasonable too in terms of taste and serving size.

Went 2 days ago on Sharah e Faisal at Hascol Petrol Station in front of PAF Museum and was charged Rs. 200 for Kashmiri Chai even though rate mentioned was Rs. 180.

Chotu Chai Dhaba is an open space around the apartments around , the surrounding area is marked by small concrete stones forming it boundary .. the set up seems quite an interesting place to experience the tea coffee or any variables green or herbal tea etc .. noticeably the younger generation were more attracted so as to chat and get togetherness .. the lights were not much brighter to maintain some privacy , the overall experience was not up to the person who cares about atmosphere and the people who cares about the desirable grades .. Anyway the Chotu Chai be could be called just a casual like point or place to visit and to spend time together or to meet up with friend for time being ..

An awesome place to hangout with friends. Their elaichi chai is the specialty, the prices were nominal a week ago but since the start of Ramadan they have shot up for instance the price of the aforementioned beverage was 70 which has now shot up to 100+, except that the staff is generally co-operative except that of fams patisserie which is sometimes rude. The ambience is windy and pleasant usually. An excellent place in general.

Operating for quite sometime now, Chotu Chaiwala has become popular recently. People come here to relax and have a cup of tea or to have some light refreshment.Some youngster also bring along Ludo to play and enjoy the cool sea breeze along with light music playing at the site.Its a nice place to relax and unwind, after a busy day....

Review №51

Waiter increased the bill by 120 ruppes and made excuses when asked to produce the written bill to verify. Admittedly 120 is not much but thinking the customers are idiots incapable of simple math is insulting.

Review №52

Nice place to relax and have a cup of tea with friends. The taste and tea varieties is great. The parathas (fried bread) are crispy and delicious. The prices are reasonable. Good value for money.

Review №53

Not worth it, even the Bogo discount wasnt applicable on tea, just on paratha... So really not that good. I wud prefer Fibbi any day anytime

Wa
Review №54

This is a normal tea stall. The tea tastes not very good. Costs more than normal tea stall or sellers in the locality.Their idea is to have you seated at the street and enjoy the open air space while having tea or coffee.Their green-tea is better than milk tea.

af
Review №55

Loved it especially siracha paratha

Ta
Review №56

Nice open space for sitting. Tea is good and rest of the things are quite similar at all good chai walas

Aa
Review №57

Theyre short of Fresh Juices on their menu and apparently the sitting area needs cleaner and more comfortable sitting arrangements. Also, they need to have a dedicated parking plot so that their customers dont clog the roads around it due to lack of dedicated parking space.

Review №58

Buss okay hai... Nothing special to write home about.Service is slightly sluggish & confusing as many come to your table & ask for order, even though you have already ordered.Any how just go & have fun

So
Review №59

Absolutely waste of money! They arent paying that much for the place they have rented but charging way too too much from the customers! Plus the taste is not good.. the service is very bad.. if youre charging this much at least add some taste to your food, so an average person can feel comfortable paying that much because he/she is getting at least some value out of it!! I see ppl coming here to kill some time.. to chit chat with their friends.. so hey! Add some value to your service and food!!
