Sahu Ki Chai, ho jaye !

In every city, there are a few old iconic eating points that are not as luxurious as a 5 star hotel, not even close, but still offers a taste that none can compete.

Sahu Ki Chai is such a place in Jaipur.

A small tapri with minimal underground seating and no fancy decor whatsoever, this place still attracts a crowd much more than today's 'happening cafes'.

Situated in the heart of the city in Chaura Rasta, close to Golechha Cinema, this tea tapri offers tea with a unique cardamon taste that makes it so famous. Couple your tea with Mathri, Fan and biscuits and you cannot stop at just 1 cup.

Oh we forgot to mention, tea is served in Kulhads too and it tastes heavenly indeed !

The story behind Sahu's famous tea is that he mixes Bhang in it that makes you feel tipsy and relaxed. Grab a cup of your own to find out if it is true !

Opposite Sai Baba Mandir, near Golechha Cinema, Chaura Rasta, Jaipur.

Cost:
Tea in Glass cup : 15 Rs
