Chaiphile

Chandigarh


A chai stall like you've never seen, this modern-day chai-wallah claims to be serving India's only tandoori chai, brewed in a tandoori oven and served with a sizzle by being poured over a fire-heated clay cup. Chai is served all day, but the sizzling chai show is usually performed late on, after about 5pm.
