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.
Really disappointing chai. Bun kebobs were ok
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 ..
No proper sitting. Slow service. However Bahadurabad branch is much better.
Its very expensive and the coffee tasted bland. The service was good tho.
Chae was fantastic but parataha is average
Bad experience. Only service is better rather than quality, test and cast.
Overpriced. They even charge for paper cups.Not recommended.
Nice spot, good tea. Paid for the fire.
Loads of Mosquitoes, may be Due to Rains.... But a Good Ambience
All the Chai Walas in Karachi are overrated and overpriced. Nothing special about them.
Not good in taste and not fresh chicken paratha taste not good
Karak chai was just OK. Service was slow despite there was no rush.
Soo expensive n slow service
Nyc place and i can enjoy there with my friends with a cup of tea
Unique style with amazing tea shop
Good friendly staff and chai is best
Love the place because of open air serving
Menu price of tea is 100..but they charge 130rs..when asked for price difference, guy replied tat 30 rs is charged for the paper cup..ridiculous
Ambience was good ,food was good very reasonable
One of my go to place to hangout with friends. The chai is good although it can be better but the overall experience is always good because of the sitting area. Even though there is crowd but you dont feel very congested.Enjoy lads!
Best
Nice place with nice menu.
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.
Young entrepreneur with the best chai Dhaba.... chai cafes shd be there as road side settings are creating lot of litter and are unsafe
It waa a good experienced the lacha parata was awsome good taste
Its less crowded than other Chai places. The fries were good. Tea was fine.
If you like little treat this is a nice place but open after 6 pm. Pizza paratha is too good.
It was simple. Not much amazing.
Good place bas thoda expensive.
Best place for youngsters time pass
Ummm lublub yummy parathaaaasssss
Nuetala partha good but chai is bad
Unreasonably expensive
Paratha was not good, this tea spot is good for families. Tea was good.
A nice hangout spot to chill over chai and snacks in the outdoors. The chai is average not the best but good friendly staff and present at a convenient location. Open in the evening time till late night.
Great for good strong pakistani tea (doodh patti or elaichi tea) along with some parathas.
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....
Best tea in defence area and most popular chotu chai wala
Outdoor seating - great options for food - try their anda paratha!Mostly young folks gather here so its fun that way.
The Chai was better as compare to other outlets.. The sitting can be done better and the chicken cheese parathaasss were good.. Overall good experience
Team was fantastic
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.
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.
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
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.
Loved it especially siracha paratha
Nice open space for sitting. Tea is good and rest of the things are quite similar at all good chai walas
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.
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
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!!
Veryyyyy slow service. The amount of tea is small... Definitely NOT worth it!
Good place for hangout
Good place to have tea while sitting in ur car
Service is not so quick and the quality of food is just okay, not too good but yes the environment is better
Come here for the ambience. There is better tea to be had elsewhere. Avoid if you dislike large crowds.
The tea was good but service was slow.
Good environment, good taste
The karrak chai was perfect, it was exactly as karrak as required
Its OK
Good ambience, service and delicious food. Not ce place to hang out
While enjoying live sports entertainment the great varieties and taste of tea is cool. ambiance nice service good above average price
They have wonderful food. Especially one of the best Chai in town.
Nice place for tea and quick bites. Good open air sitting area.Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The food was fantastic, everything fresh and hot came to the table. The service was quick and the staff was very professional. The ambiance was very lively and creative. Really enjoyed my experience, highly recomend this place, will definately be back.
They need to improve their staff behaviour and cash management. The list price was different than the price asked.
Good food very poor and slow service. We finally had to fetch water bottles ourselves
Good
Good place to hangout with friends. Sitting is outdoor. Service is not up to the mark. Its good for a little tea spot. But not for a quick snack
Chai and coffee. Paratha was ok
The place looks cool at night time due the neon lights on its boundaries. A bit costly even after so many similar points to eat. Average chai. 4.5 rating is fine.
Good place for having chai and snacks with friends and family.
Amazing atmosphere great food and good vibes
Next level doodh patti
Nice PlaceSilent environment.No traffic sound.Greeny place.
Waste of money
The tea was okay. A bit over priced for a dhabba-style chai
The service is not so goodThey close the place at 12amThey just have chai paratha, no snacks on the menu, no juices or shakes.
A nice place to have a late night tea and parathas and catching up with friends. Tried their Kashmiri tea, was just okay.
Best chai wala in town with wide variety of parathas...
The Tea Was Fantastic :D Best tea in DHA
A nice open to sky tea cofee restaurent. You can get some fast food also...all the things are delicious. Moderately expensive. The ambience is awesome
Quick service
Open place to have refreshing cup of tea with good music and food. Overall experience 4/5
Enjoyed alot specially try Kashmiri Chai in winter and Doodh Patti any time !
Its a good outdoor chae cafe. If you wanna have conversation with a friend over a steamy hot cup of tea , its a good spot for that.
For the time being its good to spend your leasure time here after the dawn and youll get a good taste in food and drinks.
Parathas are good, specially aalu and chicken cheese paratha.
A simple cool hang out place that serves different kind of Teas and light food .. Even boost an amazing Pan walla on the premises to add to appeal .. Gentry is usually cool and girls can hang out hear till late hours without worries ..
Nothing special. Just like any other road side chai wala.
