"The front part of this casual Indian and Nepali restaurant in Logan Square is a cafe where you can get some work done while drinking tea, and eating chaats and savory pies with a perfectly flaky crust. While that’s our preferred way to hang out here, Chiya Chai also a small dining room in the back that’s great for dinner. That’s better for a casual meal with friends where you can share dishes like pork vindaloo, masala chicken, and an aromatic vegetable jalfrezi with bell peppers, cauliflower, and green beans." - Adrian Kane

"Chiya Chai, the Logan Square chai and momo specialist, is poised to open a quick-service location in June at 79 E. Madison Street in the Loop. Ownership sees an opportunity as an American version of a chaiwala, the group of merchants which supply drinks to offices all over India." - Ashok Selvam

Ordered a samosa chaat and ended up eating paper. I don’t know what business in the right mind would put hot food and sauces in a box with paper on the bottom. When I asked the girl working if the packaging changed, she said yes this is how it comes. Portion size has also gone down tremendously. Don’t recommend.

Visited Chiya Chai Loop for the first time. Bought Samosa Chaat and Curry Bowl with Masala Chicken and Mumbai Cutting and Masala Chai. Samosa Chaat was good but didn’t like curry bowl. Didn’t like the chai as didn’t feel it as authentic.

The kitchen closes at 7pm but they keep serving drinks until 8pm. We arrived a few minutes after 7pm but the lovely lady working at the counter was super sweet and offered us some samosas even though the kitchen was closed, I really appreciated that!. I ordered the coconut cream chai and my South Indian husband order the masala chai, unfortunately my Indian husband was not at all impressed with the flavor of the chai, he said it was super watered down, not strong at all and not the authentic flavor 🥲. I did like the flavor of my chai but I’m not Indian so I thought it was good. We both liked the samosas, they were nice and crispy and stuffed with potato and peas, they come with a tamarind sweet chutney and a green mint chutney. I really enjoyed them. Loved the cute details on the wall and the pops of color everywhere 🎨👌🏽.

I have never had Chai before. Wow I was missing out. It was delicious. I had the Masala iced chai tea. Wonderful flavors and fresh. It kinda reminds me of pumpkin spice flavor but better. The staff was friendly and patient with me. They do serve food. Next time I want to try. He had a hot Anise he also enjoyed that.

The best Chai and Indian-Nepali street food in town! I am not much of a chai person but I am hooked to their chai. They have so many different variety of chai. Recently tried their turmeric chai and the flavor and aroma was a 10/10! Perfect chai for the fall and winter. I like their chat options, we tried the aloo chaat, bhel puri, and samosa chaat and they were so tasty!! I could keep eating them. The Kathmandu chicken momos are also a 10/10. I always order them when I am there. They have to two locations. One on Michigan Avenue and the other on Logan square. I have been to them both and strongly recommend them. Check it out and enjoy delicious chai and snacks.

Nice atmosphere right off Michigan Ave. great service. Most important is the selection of different spiced chais. I had a black cardamom and it was gone in a second as you can see. 👌

I had so much high expectations for this place moreover because of high rating and reviews but was very disappointed. This is not a chai but a typical American tea with no flavour, watery and definitely not kadak chai. It was similar to any tea you will find anywhere in USA. I ordered ginger cutting and it had loads of cardamom with bitterness added. If you want desi chai/ Indian tea, make it yourself.
