It isn’t just the tea that has customers raving; delightful treats like their Bun Maska are simply irresistible. A perfect companion to your cup of chai, the soft, buttery bun pairs beautifully with the aromatic beverage. Customers like Mohammad express it best; calling the cafe "one of the hidden gems" in Okhla, he emphasizes how the sweet and savory offerings bring people together.

But what truly sets Irani Dum Chai Cafe apart is its heartwarming hospitality.

Faria Irshad perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the cafe, noting it as "the best place for friends to chill." The understanding that life is best enjoyed in good company is apparent everywhere — mirrored in the cafe’s slogan that fondly reminds us, “Dost Bhi Zaroori Hai Zindagi May,” meaning "Friends are important in life."

Though there’s the minor quibble about sugar-free options, the overwhelming positive reviews overshadow this, and the cafe remains steadfast in its mission to craft the perfect brew. If you’re planning a visit, come prepared for a delightful experience that appeals to all of your senses.

So, whether you're a local or merely passing through, stop by the Irani Dum Chai Cafe to relish moments that are steeped in tradition and taste. It's not just a cafe; it's a gathering space, an experience, and if you're lucky, a reflection of your very own love for chai.

One of the hidden jem in okhla for tea lovers!!! Although there is only one minus point that the do not serve sugar free tea cos they already premixed all the item including sugar while boiling tea! There bun maka is a must must have!!! And there was a banner which caught my eye that says DOST BHI ZAROORI Hai ZINDAGI MAY, SANAM RAAT MAY CHAI PINE NAHI AATE ( THAT THE FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT IN LIFE BECAUSE AT NIGHT LOVER DON'T COME TO SIP A TEA WITH YOU,SOMETHING LIKE THAT)

Excellent service, and the Tea is fantastic! I've had a discussion with the owner and he happened to be one of the managers in Le meredian Hotel Dubai. So you could easily expect a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ service from someone with that background. In taste it Beats chaiyos by leaps and bounds! I would frequent it as much as mu schedule allows me to.
