    Quite a decent place.. a place where you can sit for quite sometime and enjoy their authentic local drink .. the only con is difficulty to find the place if you are new like me .. because the location is somewhat not correct on the google map.. rest of it was awesome

    Must try place if you are in srinagar- Beautiful tea room, has a great vibe. Great place to hangout with friends, offering wide variety of teas, we tried classic khawa, water melon juice and kashmiri kulcha as side.

    The USP of Chaai Jaai is it’s lovely ambience with aesthetic vibes and totally insta-worthy. They serve the authentic Kashmiri noon chai, pink tea, Kahwa, Sheermal, etc that is all the local Kashmiri snacks and chaai. They also sell lovely tea pots and mugs. They have a small library, you can have your chai with a book. The interior is really amazing but the taste of chai is not superior. You may find better taste elsewhere easily. The negative is that they don’t have AC in the scorching heat. In summers during noon, it becomes really difficult especially for tourists to sit and enjoy due to extreme hot weather. The prices and service are just fine. But a decent Tea shop to spend some quality time with your friends and loved ones.

    Chai Jaai- which means chai place. It's a very beautiful cafe. The aesthetics and ambience is pretty. The food is really good. Do try Chicken Shammi kebab. Pizzas are really yummy. The staff and their service is very good. Do visit if you're in Srinagar.

    Really nice tea shop in Srinagar! The place is stunning on the inside. You go upstairs to see a lovely tea room decorated by intricate murals! The tea is really delicious and the presentation is really true in nature. Space is clean and full of light. The team is super friendly and helpful. Good spot in Kashmir with good vibes!

    The place used to be a part of Mahhatas (the myth goes that the Brits were unable to pronounce Mehta, so the name was changed to how it was spelled phonetically) photo studio in the yester pre-independence years and I can still recall all the grand and antique black and white photographs they had on display, more like a museum than a photo studio. Now it has been changed into a chic tearoom with a very English air to it. The walls have been gayly painted giving it a paper mache finish. The view overlooking the bund pathway and Jhelum river is spectacular. And the saffron kehwa was excellent.

    Such a picturesque (or instagramable) place. We didn't really had a lot of time so we took a Lavazza pizza and penne in white sauce paste as takeaway. The pizza was good even after it went cold. Would love to visit again to try their tea.

    What a beautiful place it is. If you want to have a taste of traditional Kashmiri Kahwah..this place is for you. It serves the best Kahwah with different flavours. This place serves the traditional Sweet and slated Sheeramal also. Apart from this, it serves tea time cakes, pastries, and snacks. Apart from this, you can have breakfast options. The ambience is wonderful. The show-stopper of this place is beautiful crockery. Must visit places if you are in Srinagar.

    Good place to visit.. very nicely decorated interiors.. awesome.. Good view from the table… Many celebrities have visited this place… It’s around 5 years old… Good place for snacks and Tea obviously.. Price is fine considering the tourist city…

  • 3/5 masood h. 1 year ago on Google
    Over hyped due to movies though but still a good place to enjoy kehwa and tea. The place available for dine in is limited so are the tables. The ambiance created due to paper machie wall and some lighting is great.

  • 5/5 Nafisa A. 4 months ago on Google
    If you happen to be in Srinagar, please do not miss this place. The prettiest cafe I've ever come across and some great kashmiri chai and some good food.

  • 5/5 Siddhareddy D. 7 months ago on Google
    We visited Chai Jaai for morning breakfast. They have various varieties of tea. The english breakfast was decent and one other unique dish we tried was the Kashmiri breakfast which had Kawa tea ☕, Naan 🫓 and omlette. It can be shared between 3 people. It was worth visited. Do check this out

  • 4/5 sunita m. 5 months ago on Google
    Cinnamon roll and Zafran kahwa literally was amazing. It’s a must visit place if you visit Srinagar and wanna try the best Kahwa. Ambience decor is superb as well

  • 5/5 Nitin M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Had a great experience, I ordered 1 pot of masala tea and pizza, both were damn good in taste. One must try masala tea over here, as this kind of taste is rare to find in Srinagar.

  • 5/5 Varun C. 10 months ago on Google
    I visited this place in May with my wife. I find this place aesthetic and clean. I ordered a Kahwa combo Sheermal, paneer pakoras with Red Velvet cake. Both were delicious. I highly recommend this place. The main drawback was the washroom; there were none, need to visit Mughal Darbar restaurant washrooms. The ambiance is beautifully decorated with colorful plates.

  • 5/5 Frahim A. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely place to have some tea, snacks and pastries. It specialises in tea. We tried their noon chai which was amazing, along with some sweet shirmaal bread. We also tried the Uzbeki naan with mutton kheema, roath and walnut fudge. Everything was great. The ambiance was also good. Must try once.

  • 4/5 Shrikunj D. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely place! Kashmiri zaffrani kahwa was good, we liked white sauce pasta and pizza too. Sheermal with gulkand was fantastic. Would love to go again! They had beautiful interiors, also have tea pot and tea mugs on sale.

  • 5/5 Rajmohan B. 1 year ago on Google
    A must must must go place if you are in shrinagar. Varieties of teas + breakfast available with a view of river. Additionally you will find a place to add more memories because they have amazing interior.

  • 4/5 Oxana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Artsy place, nice ambiance. A good selection of teas and snacks/foods. Beautiful presentation. It is a bit pricey - you are paying for the experience.

👍👍 This place has become one of the best and most famous cafès in Srinagar area.

Lot of improvement in terms of decor as well as food variety and taste...
