4 best chai places in Jaipur for an authentic taste
We all know Jaipur is globe-famous for its food and fashion. But there is something special in Jaipur which still has been hidden from the eyes of most of the people, Chai.
There is nothing as Indian as a cup of chai/tea. After water, chai is the most popular drink in the world and we Indians can drink it anytime even in the the middle of a hot summer day. Tea is an irresistible indulgence. I have located some of the oldest and the best of tea joints in Jaipur for the tea addicts.
- Gulab Ji Chai Waala
Gulab Singh Ji Dheerawat established his tea stall 70 years ago and it is famous for it’s tasty and refreshing masala chai among the Japurities. There is only one variety and it is “special chai” (Approx Rs100 for two people). For sides you have multiple options like bun maska, samosa etc. I had a hard time finding a stool to sit as this stall is always filled with chai lovers. This is a must try for all chai lovers.

- SAHU’S: Chai made on coal stove
Sahu is very Famous for his tea and people from all walks of life come here to feel the authentic chuski of chai. His chai is known for it’s unique taste which is very sweet and enriched with the cardamom flavour. Don’t forget to add toasts and mathri to enhance the taste of chai.Cost Rs100 for two people(Approx)

- Badshah
One of the virtuoso of the chai business which serves only one variety of chai but still holds his position over any new chai cafe. Badshah chai wala has his restaurant by the name of Sai baba restaurant and for long it has been a home of chai addicts who congregate at this place every day to take the chuski of Badshah chai. He prepares fresh chai for everyone and as I was waiting, I could feel the aromatic flavors of the chai being prepared adding to the experience. Cost Rs200 for two peole(Approx)

- Tapri
A list of best chai places in Jaipur is incomplete without Tapri. It is a new generation take on chai. It serves a vast variety of chai flavours which you can have, with milk , with hot steamed milk or without milk. This place is always filled with tea lovers specially young couples who spend hours sitting here. So consider yourself lucky if you find a vacant table. While drinking my tea, I sat in the balcony enjoying very refreshing and charismatic view of the lush green Central Park. It opens at 7 PM and serve Parle-G as a complement. It’s menu has a HUGE variety of sides to choose from which have some very funny descriptions and are a great pass time as you wait for your chai to arrive. Cost Rs750 for two people(Approx)
