Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
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, honestly—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. 😐
