This place is so cute and it's a small place. We ordered mixed chaat, Kashmiri chai, and Karak chai. The chaat came first and then the chai. It arrived super fast. The Karak chai was not too good but it's better than no chai. The Kashmiri chai is super good and so was the chaat. I would definitely go back!
Excellent KashmirI chai, amazing chaat and club sandwich. Service is excellent and people are very friendly.
Some really yummy and flavorful food and would definitely go back. Also had the Kashmiri chai and was so tasty.
We had cravings for desi street food and we were shopping in the strip so decided to try chai shai. The menu is varied so you'll find something for everyone. It's a small location with limited seating so be mindful of that. The service is top notch. We tried the mixed chaat which was okay. Also had the beef club sandwich which was just mind blowing. I'm not a fan of club sandwiches in general as it's too much bread for me but the combo of buttered toast, shredded beef and a fried egg. *chef's kiss*. This is what I'll come back for. They're stingy with condiments ($1 for hot sauce)
Review based on the chai. Karak chai and Kashmiri chai were both on point. Kashmiri chai had a generous amount of pistachios and almonds in it, making for a luxurious delight. The aesthetic of the spot is cute with a lot of instagrammable signs. It was raining hard the night we visited and the owner was around. He was kind and allowed us to stay past closing until the rain died down. Always a pleasure to support a local business when you know the owner is solid.
The Bun Ka baap is a must, right level of spicy pair it with a chai and it hits the spot. The club sandwich is very refreshing for any summer day.
I don't care how hot it is I'm going to have myself a Chai, and it's usually from Chai Shai. I appreciate the variation of chai you can order from masala chai to taveez wali. The menu will remind you of a small burger joint with a twist. They offer an Indian cuisine you can also order from. The chai is always made fresh to order and the staff is always really helpful. There is seating areas if you would like to dine in. I'd definitely recommend stopping in for a quick bite to eat.
