This cheerful little spot is perfect for a quick break from shopping or sightseeing, serving up a rich selection of teas and snacks that will tantalize your taste buds.
At Chaiwala, the star of the menu is undoubtedly the Tandoori chai. Imagine sipping on a subtly smoky tea that’s brewed in traditional clay cups, with the spices dancing on your palate.
