It’s time to stop raving about the Latte’s, mochas, and cappuccinos as we have information on some new and innovate types of chai and where you can find them for all the chai lovers out there.
- Tandoor Chai
Chai La in Kharadi is known to serve the best tandoor chai in the city. This chai is made in a tandoor which lends it a unique smoky flavor and makes it so special. One cup of chai is reasonably priced at Rs. 20 and is served with filling bun Maska or biscuits.
Where? Chai La, Opposite Zensar IT Park, EON Road, Kharadi, Pune
When? Monday to Sunday
Time: 9am – 3pm, 4pm – 11pm
- Gulabi Chai
Even though we are crazy about the dusky color of our chai its time to put that bias aside and try something pink. Gulabi chai also known as ‘noon chai’ or ‘sheer chai’ is Kashmiri tea made from gunpowder tea, milk, and baking soda. It is also caffeine free which makes it a great beverage for all the tea lovers who want to cut down on their caffeine intake. Baner Katta serves the best gulabi chai in town with Masala Khichiya which we recommend to accompany the chai. This place will cost you around 400 rupees for two.

- Chocolate Chai
Yes, you heard that right. We can never get enough chocolate or enough chai so we now have the combination of both. This open airy café named ‘Chaikund’ along the Mulshi road serves the delicious hot chocolate chai with few more surprising dishes such as Thalipeeth (served with curd) and Kothimbir Vadi (served with ketchup). The cost for two people is approximately Rs. 300 which makes it a great bargain.
Where? Chaikund Survey 181, Bhukum, Mulshi Road, Pune
When? Monday to Sunday
Time: 7am – 11pm
With all these fun options to try, we think it is safe to say that our love for chai will never die!
