CHAI BREAK.
Hey Guys.... I was really busy for the past few days and did not get time to visit any new place recently. As I was busy with my schedule, this new place "Chai Break" caught my attention. Instagram and facebook posts along with the very attractive pictures to pair with it, this new place was the definite next visit for me and, So did I.
INTERIORS:-
Starting with the interiors...
The place had beautiful and lavish interiors. It had few divans with long horizontal cushions on one side of the hall and the other side had tables and chairs and few sofas and tables for group hangouts. The lighting was a little dim with small soft yellow bulb lights all over the roof and wooden interiors and walls with a semi matte yet polished finish to them and LED TVs with English songs playing to the tune. The place also had a mild fruity and cinnamon scent in the entry clearly indicating that the service provides everything starting from tea to hookah in the restaurant.
The menu was very well classified and very well themed. The only thing that I did not like here was that, if the place is named "Chai Break", then any normal person would expect to get a wide range of tea here. Whether it be red,green,black,brown or yellow, just a wide range of tea. But that's what is the disappointment here. Having kept the name "Chai Break", the place keeps the tea menu on the last page which won't even catch a person's attention if he wasn't a tea geek. And the same went for coffee as well. But that's understood, since the tea section is so highly neglected, how can we expect something better for coffee!!
FOOD AND BEVERAGES:-
There were 5 of us and each one of us ordered something different. Our order was as follows:-
1)Royal tea (1)
2)Kesar(saffron) Tea (1)
3)Virgin Mojito (1)
4)Kitkat shake (2)
Royal Tea:-
The tea was indeed a royal delight to my taste buds. The tea was a well blended and brewed mix of Darjeeling tea blended with Cardamom,Saffron,ginger and milk. All of which are the keys to a very good tea. The tea is boiled for a good 10-15 minutes on a slow flame to give it that perfect aroma,taste and color and was garnished with few saffron petals on top. The flavors were strong yet delicately blended. Definitely my favorite tea and the perfect refreshment during winters.
Cost per glass: Rs 50
Kesar(saffron) Tea:-
The tea was similar to the royal tea except for being sweeter and with a prominent saffron flavor. This was also a very well blended brew of saffron, fine quality Darjeeling tea and milk. The tea was served steaming hot with a garnish of saffron on top . You can also ask for an additional serving of sugar and flavor if you desire a stronger flavor
Cost per glass: Rs 50
3)Virgin Mojito:-
Not very impressed with this glass of cold beverage. The drink was not extraordinary but had the homemade feel of lemon mint sweet and salty soda. The drink was served in a big glass with lemon,mint and ice packed up to half of the level and the remaining half covered with the drink. A very refreshing drink but definitely not worth the cost. Brilliant looks and garnishing.
Cost per glass: Rs 110

4)Kitkat shake:-
And here we come with the day's show stopper.
The kitkat shake was truely the best of all the beverages. This was a rich chocolate and caramel milk shake. The milkshake was served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top with whipped cream and crushed chocolaty kitkat wafers. A definite proscription for diabetics and health conscious folks but a superb treat for your sweet tooth. A very creamy, rich, chocolaty and crunchy smoothie. A must try. A definite value for money.
Cost per glass: 150
