“ Have passed this place so many times and finally decided to pop in! I got the vanilla nutmeg chai small and an order of samosas ( comes in 2)! That only ran me about $13 so bang for your buck is here!! This place is very spacious and open and would be great for a remote work day! They also have happy hour that I want to come back and check out! The samosas come with two sauces and both were delicious! This was a great portion for the price and the vanilla nutmeg was delicious ! Their menu is pretty extensive and service was on point! I'll be back for the cocktails ! ”

“ Chiya chai is a great cafe. They have awesome food and awesome drinks, and they're really good at everything on their menu. The ambiance is great and the staff are super cool and friendly. I've been getting the desi chai a lot lately and it tastes fantastic hot or iced. Would definitely recommend. The food items are all great, especially love the chicken curry and saag paneer. I think the pies are their most unique item, very delicious. (still hoping for the apple raita to come back one day it was so fire) Overall though, I think it's a great place. I find myself there all the time because I'm always craving it, and I'm constantly recommending it to everyone I know. ”

“ Overall Thoughts: The menu here is diverse and creative, from pies to South Asian classics and Southeast Asian momos. It's counter service, very casual, and it wasn't too crowded on a Friday night; my friend and I found a table easily. Overall, I wasn't really impressed with the specific dishes I ordered, but I'm giving 4 stars as I think the spot has potential and I'd be interested to try their chai and happy hour drink deals in the future. Food I tried: - Creamy Chicken Masala Curry bowl (3.5/5): The flavors were not as strong or vibrant nor the chicken as tender as I was hoping for. The flavors and textures grew monotonous for me after awhile. - Garlic Naan (4.2/5): Nice strong garlic flavor albeit a little dry. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5 Food: 3.8/5 Ambience: 4.3/5 Service: 4.5/5 Overall Value: 4.1/5 ”

“ Okay, I got a new one from me to you ... the rasmalai from Chiya Chi. It's a creamy and spongy cup cake made with Indian ricotta cheese, sugar, milk and cardamom. It's like a colder, lighter tree leches cake. It was so good I went back two nights in a row and was to pouring the cream into the ice left over at the bottom of my coconut cream chai that I had just crushed and drinking it with a straw. They changed the menu up a little here recently and everything had been just ridiculously delicious. Three-peat tomorrow night? Also got the honey spicy wings, I got so messy, but it was way worth it. ”

“ Such a fun concept. A casual Indian cafe that has so many classics. I love their chai menu, so many flavors to choose from. I did the cardamon and pistachio that was delicious! My friends and I dined in and ordered at the cashier and our food was brought over to us. The prices are so reasonable for the portions you receive! Small thing, but I was disappointed that the chai was in a plastic cup versus in a mug even though we dined in. Very happy to go back! ”

“ Mountains of flavors and spice! It's my first time going to Chiya cafe with a buddy. Since I do a lot of Indian events, I'm familiar with the cuisine. Since it was the first time here, we tried a few things. The cafe is cute and was busy that day. It's essential to note seating is first come, first serve cafe style. My friend and I almost left, but after taking a walk around the block, more seats opened up. I got the chicken masala pot pie, which was so delicious and baked to perfection. I wasn't a massive fan of the sauces that came with pastry, but that's just my taste buds--the Samosas were fantastic and also baked well. My friend got the Deep Dish Lamb, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and we shared the chili wings. The wings were good but spicy. It's not unbearable, but it hit the right spots. I did think the physical chili on top of the wing was a bit much for me, but they shouldn't deter anyone reading this to stop them from trying them. I washed everything down with a coffee. Overall, this was a great place to talk with a friend and enjoy food. I loved all the flavors and atmosphere. If you never had Indian food, this is a great introduction. Just remember this isn't a restaurant, it's a cafe with restaurant-style Cuisine. For my first visit, Chiya Cafe got a 4 out of 5 ”

“ I came here for a comedy show in the winter and it was a ton of fun! The whole interior is really cutely decorated and the space gives off very casual vibes. The service is quick and easy. We went up to the registered and ordered the drinks and food we wanted. The samosas are delicious and hearty! The masala fries are delicious. I want to come back to try their momo dumplings. In terms of drinks, the star is of course their chai. Cardamom pistachio and spicy masala are my favorite. It's honestly some of the best chai I've had outside of my home chai! The cocktails are also yummy and unique in flavors. Tip: I found out about their comedy show through their Instagram stories. ”

“ I love this franchise - such an amazing taste of Indian cuisine with a couple of twist on dishes. Logan square location is massive and can house you and your family or friends for a good time. I placed an order rather quickly and all the dishes arrived within 15-30 minutes. Thankfully we order multiple dishes to get a taste of their menu. Each dish was a nice size portion that matches the price and that wows me. The fries were very well seasoned and the sauce to pair was tasty. The wings were so tender the meat fell off the bone. The sauce seasoning and flavor was a triple knockout and worth the taste. Definitely don't miss out on that. The creamy chicken masala was indeed creamy and incredibly Generous with the meat provided. The pot pie was alright and filling. What elevated the dish were the sauces on the sauce. I believe one was Apple base and the other was another fruit base. Super delicious on their own! Definitely visit this location or the one located in downtown Chicago. My only downfall was not ordering their chai flight. This gives me a reason to return! ”
