How do you begin your day ? For most .. a good day begins with a sip of freshly brewed piping hot chai  ..isn’t it .. ??
Feeling bored ?? Time for a chai break  …
Catching up with a friend ?? Hmm that calls for a cup of chai amidst all those laugh  & talk  …
Feeling cold .. let’s brew some strong hot chai …
Looks like a cup of tea fits perfectly to all these scenarios .. isn’t it ? For many a cup of chai is not just a drink but a friend , therapist , a companion and much more .. no wonder a cup of chai makes everything better.
So …for all the Chai lovers …there’s some great news … !!! There is a new tea cafe ” TATA CHA ”  in Indranagar Bangalore . Being a chai  lover .. these kind of news always excites me!
It’s all about #ChaiAndMore :
Tata Cha specialises in serving freshly boiled tea, just like the corner tea shop, served one perfect cup at a time… It is about bringing to consumers the warmth of tapri chai in a modern environment.
The  extensive authentic Indian menu has been crafted/curated to revive lost Indian recipes that blends warmth with a dash of youthfulness. This includes, signature tea-based hot and cold beverages,traditional snacks, dunkers and meals with a twist. The balance lies in creating an experience which is premium and aspirational yet, real and being authentically Indian..

If you are some one like me who loves hot beverages there is a wide variety of choice for you starting from the regular masala chai , Gur chai  , Gulkand chai , Nimbuda black chai , Sikkim tea etc ..Pair it up with some beetroot cultlets / Methi khari / Ragi Khari / pinwheel samosas etc and you are all set for the endless conversation .. reminds me of ” Chai pe Charcha “…
Oh yes .. We have the classic Bun Chaska and the simple cardamom rusk too ( love chai and rusk combo .. so nostalgic and homely .. isn’t it ? Â )
The cold beverage section too is really interesting with a bunch of unique drinks .. I really liked the Indianised and local theme drinks at Tata Cha  be it Dilliwali Kanji ,  Masala Shikanji Meetha Paan and Rasmalai Milk Shake … Peach Iced Tea and Chili Guava Ice Slush in the cold tea offerings were also good . Pair it up with cardamom cake , fruit cake or some cookies …

The menu boasts  a wide variety of healthy teas like Cucumber Green Tea , Ayurveda Tea  , Sugar-free Tangy Tamarind etc  that can be paired with Oil-free Soya Kababs to suit every mood. The Sugar free  tangy tamarind was so yumm  and i couldn’t stop at one serving ..

The food menu also includes curated recipes from across India like the Butter  Chicken Khichdi ,  Chatpata Matar Kulcha , Dal pakhwan from the North to Creamy Veg Stew from South.  Many of the offerings from the beverage and food menu are about reviving lost Indian recipes that evoke nostalgia in in the mind of customers.
The core objective is to create a space that is warm and nurture a renewed love for tea. The interior décor, hence, brings together a mix of warm soft wood, bright colours, colourful and patterned fabrics to create a charming, youthful ambience.
I am really impressed by Tata Cha #ChaiAndMore concept- more chai, more food, more conversations, more laughter and what not! I would highly recommend this place and will surely visit again!
