I like the food and the multiple choices of chai that I did not know existed. Service was good. Easy to find. Right off highway 69.

We stopped by Chai Cafe on our way to some spring break bowling and March Madness, and despite how fun those things were, Chai Cafe quickly became the highlight of our day and weekend! The dining room is fun! Open, bright, clean, well decorated, smells great, and has ample seating! There's awesome, light music playing, which I really enjoyed! It's international, but easy listening, adding to the ambiance very well! The windows lining the front of the restaurant are heavily tinted, so even though it may look closed or that the lights are off when you pull up, head on in! It's bright and welcoming inside, despite the front being..."modest", we'll say... You order at the front counter, and there are bright video-board menus behind the counter to review. There are SOOOO many options here! Admittedly, it's a bit overwhelming to take in, however, the lady tending the counter during our visit was extremely kind and helpful, and answered our many, many questions! We ordered a very diverse spread, including biryani, a butter chicken sandwich, chicken and noodles, and butter paneer. We also all tried different chai teas, and my son got a flavored lemonade. We sat ourselves after ordering, and everything was made fresh. So, it took about 15 minutes or so for our order to be called. EVERYTHING was absolutely fantastic! I recommend literally anything above, which leads me to believe that probably just about everything here is very, very good! I think our favorite were the butter ___ dishes, especially the butter paneer. Their butter sauce recipe is extremely flavorful, and different (in a GREAT way!!) than any other butter sauce I've ever had! I highly recommend it! We'll be back soon, and frequently! Food = 5/5 Facility = 2/5 Service = 4/5 Ambiance = 4/5 Value = 3/5

Walked in for a to-go order. Employees at the counter were quick to smile and greet me and help me with my order! Food came out within 15 minutes. Ambiance inside was very family friendly it seemed. A section for children to play as well. Packaging for food was high quality as well. We got samosas, the combination mix rice platter and baklava. All 5/5.

Came in to try after someone had told me great things and I will say it did not disappoint. My mom and I ordered the Saffron chai and it was incredible. Know that you can customize your sweetness level--I got it half sweet and my mom got it with full sweetness and it was delicious either way. Very authentic and was an elevated version of the chai I grew up drinking with my parents. The food....so good. We got the Papdi Chaat and Butter Chicken plate and both dishes were SO flavorful and a great spice level. I will say that the butter chicken surprised me with its spice level so beware if you are sensitive to spice--but I thought it was perfect. The space itself is so nice and clean inside. They have a lovely play area that my son loved. We will definitely be back again and again I'm sure! Thank you, Chai Cafe!

Casual (above fast food style) cafe with Indian dishes and a full Chai menu. I've tried all their samosas, very good, and also butter chicken...also very good. I've had the Marsala Chai 3 times, low sugar, so can only testify to its delishness but as I said a full menu to choose. Service is friendly and quick.

Came here on a Saturday morning for chai and snacks. The papdi chaat was average, could have used more spice and chutneys. The chais were great. Would recommend the masala chai, Kashmiri chai (a bit on the sweeter side), and desi coffee. Drinks tend to be sweet here so ask for it half sweet or unsweetened. Clean atmosphere. Service is quick and staff is friendly!

Best chai I've ever had, and was pleasantly surprised by the food, too. Lots of space to meet up or hang out (it will make a much better hang out if they turn down the music, which is loud), but it's a great find and certainly beats the other food options in the strip mall. Definitely come here if you any kind of chai, or if you want a clean chill spot to hang out in the area. If they get really popular, I do hope they'll downsize their menu so they can keep up.

This is a lovely little gem in OP. I have stopped in a few times and love whatever I try on the menu. The only thing I did not completely love was the amount of boondi at the bottom of my mixed papdi chaat bowl as it sucked up all the liquidy goodness I d my snack. The Kashmiri chai is my favorite that I have tried so far and they do make it with oatmilk if you ask, so perfect for people with food restrictions. The staff and cashiers are very helpful in explaining items on the menu as well. There's a small selection of grab and go desserts as well and some Indian beverages available. This is a little slice of nostalgia whenever I come in.

Really great place to hang out with family and friends! They have a great variety of chats and they were all fantastic. I especially enjoyed the samosa chaat. They also have several different types of chai. I'm not normally a fan of Kashmiri chai, but the Kashmir chai here was VERY good. In addition to a large array of halal food options, they have a play area for kids and a huge variety of board games/card games you can play. Great spot!

A gem in a middle of no where. Couldn't believe Kansas would have such a place. Great vibe, ambience and service. Most international food restaurants lack ambiance but this place felt great. I tried the bun kabob and club sandwich (4 layers was exclusive) Loved the chai and coffee options they had. Regular, zafrani and quela chai to name a few. Will definitely stop by again.
