Street food vibe, but inconsistency reigns.

Chaiiwala is like that one friend who's always up for street food but sometimes leaves you hanging. The karak tea is a definite highlight, but the overall experience seems to vary widely based on who’s working that day. Aniket thought the food was amazing, but others like I Shaikh noted issues with service and portion sizes. It's a mixed bag, honestlyβ€”some love it, while others are left unsatisfied.

It’s located in Fosse Park's Food Central and has a nice ambiance for a quick snack, but be prepared for long lines and the chance of having your order messed up. If you're after authentic Indian street food, it’s worth a try, but manage your expectations. 😐
