Chiya Chai Loop

I ordered the hot Caramel Sea Salt Chai (with a double shot of espresso to make it a dirty chai) and it was DELICIOUS. The flavor was a perfect balance of sweetness. The Samosas did not disappoint and were pretty large in size, but I wish they came with more than two for the price. Friendly service and convenient location across the street from Millennium Park. Not a lot of seating but thankfully a big crowd was leaving when we came in. Would definitely recommend!

Loved the variety of chai it offered! Even as a person with a caffeine allergy, I was drawn to this outlet and it didnt disappoint me at all!! They also have a variety of ayurvedic blends with all the benefits displayed for one to make an informed choice! The mumbai girl in me will always live the cutting chai but their spicy masala chai was also too good! 😊

Me and my husband had Mumbai Cutting Chai and Samosa Chaat. Very tasty. And vibe is great, service is great, they play beautiful hindi songs. Enjoyed the chai while it was snowing outside.

I'm a regular customer that loves chai. Shanu's hospitality and attention to detail has been always a pleasure. This review is long overdue. Shout-out to Shanu and Chiya Chai!!!

Love it here! Kind and patient employees who helped me make an informed choice about the options. They let me know there's some sugar in them and that I could order it without if I wanted. Small menu but so much to choose from. I got the Mumbai extra chai with ginger and no sugar and it was incredible. My partner got maple pecan and his wasn't even that sweet but definitely could tell the difference in the tea base for each drink. Adored the art on the walls and the cleanliness of the place, easy to hear the clerks because there was no loud overhead music. Will come back ! Thank you friends!

My food was prepared very efficiently. I got the samosa chaat. Big flavor, nice and spicy. The spices and citrus balanced the dish perfectly. My server Shanu helped me decide what to get, since I'm a little unfamiliar with this chaat. Their desserts (the one with cottage cheese) and chai are great too. Would recommend to anyone!

What a great find! Looove the super long menu of chai options and the food was so good! We loved the masala chicken curry bowl and the Pani Puri. (I can't believe they make this at a walk up counter spot just off Michigan. So good!) And the pistachio cardamom chai was excellent. Mostly crushed up pistachios in cardamom flavored chai but I drink every bit. The staff was so lovely and helpful. We ordered more than we could eat so we'd have some leftovers. Delicious!

The aroma in this Nepali Cafe is mesmerizing. From curries to chai wafting in the air, one's palate is jolted. The first time I came across this shop, I had limited time and couldn't get anything. I returned the next day to be greeted by Uzi. He provided extraordinary service and took time getting to know his customers. I enjoyed my hot cardamom chai and my iced horchata-chai. Both were perfectly sweetened and satisfied my love for chai. I bought a few bags to take home to enjoy. I look forward to returning next time I'm in Chicago. Definitely a place to stop for a breather while in Chicago. 🤎☕️🫖😍🇳🇵🫶🏼
