Chai Shai

The food was delicious I got the hunter burger and I ate it all before I could take a picture . The service was kinda slow but I think it was because we came a little bit late. The ambiance was good I liked the decorations I think it was afghani decor I'm not to sure but it was beautiful.

We came here with friends because they recommended this place and I'm happy to report that this is a really nice change from all the Hillcroft halal cafes. They have a nice selection of street food like chaats and paratha rolls mixed in with sandwiches/burgers and a few entrees. I had the club sandwich which was actually pretty good. Was not impressed with the Nihari because it was just too spicy. The parathas and hunter beef sandwiches were good. With a name like chai shai, you have to nail the chai which they did!

Amazing eastern fast food cafe!! The man behind the counter was super friendly and acted like He was genuinely pleased that I was there. As a "typical 40yr old white man" I sometimes get odd looks when I venture of the beaten path to enjoy something new, either by the partitioner or other patrons. I immediately felt welcome, by the staff and everyone there.I ordered 2 veg samosas, one beef pastry and one chicken pastry, an order of mixed chat, and some type of Indian quesadilla. The man smiled kindly and told me I was ordering to much food, and when I told him I wasn't scared and that "I might not look like it but I can eat" he laughed. EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL!!! My favorite was the beef and chicken pastries!! Flaky and amazing!!!Can't wait to bring my wife so she can give them another 5 stars! Awesome place!!PS - it is INSIDE THE "WORLD FOOD WEARHOUSE" - I almost missed it and drove away. Great place... You must go!!!

A one stop Karachi style snacks fast food restaurant. Reason to give 5 is staff, cleanliness, quality of food, innovation, service and after sale service. I am one their forest customer when they open and both the owners still remember us and invited us in their one year anniversary. Food is delicious and healthy, they know how to use ingredients. The only thing is they close at 9 pm or they have to because inside a supermarket that closes at 9.But a must visit Houston eating place.

Unbelievable experience and hospitality, so we were visiting Houston, and after dinner decided to have some chai Shai, meetha sheeta, and gup shup masti wasti. We got there around 8:30 and saw dim lights, wondered if they were still open, and went to the counter. There were only two families, hardly 6 people, and the person behind the counter said, of course, no greeting sheeting . She said (loudly) We have only chai and I said I hope so because we came for chai. Since we have never been there, we have no clue what else they serve there. Since we had dinner, we came for only chai or dessert. We ordered 3 chai (different kinds) and started reading their menu after paying them, of course. We liked the menu and told each other we should return for food next time. During that time, one family gets up and leaves without having anything. We said oh well, let's wait for the chai and told our friend, who is Canadian, how our culture is kind of based on hospitality chai. We ask guests if they don't want to eat still you must have chai. Chai is our connection and to learn about each other. Almost 15 or 20 minutes later, chai came, and I asked her if sugar was available. She pointed towards the entrance. "Sugar is over there." So I got up to pick up Cheeni Sheeni, and as soon I returned, the same person said it was 9 0 o'clock and we were closing. I asked, Are you serious? We just got our order. I looked around. One family was still eating food, but she said I have to close the door. It's 9 PM, and we don't get paid for extra time. Oh, she wants us to leave with our chai. I said may I use your sugar? She said yes. Honestly, I have never seen this kind of attitude, and I understand, that it's the owner's fault who doesn't appreciate their workers, and they don't care if a customer left happy or not. We picked up our chai Shai cups and went outside. We decided to drink in the car, but unfortunately, the chai was horrible. So, two of us throw our cups in the trash. It was hot water without flavor. Meanwhile, we apologized to our friend that that's not how our culture or hospitality is, just bad management. We are in the retail business, and once a customer walks in 30 minutes before, we don't ask them to leave the store. I was totally in a fun vacation mood. All I wanted was a good karak chai, some meetha. So are we planning to go back? What do you think?

Great cozy vibe. Food portions are good and taste is authentic. Owner is super nice and attentive. Always a go to place for us. Love this place

Very friendly service and delicious food with variety, will definitely come back !!!!!!!

Great food a little off the main view of 99. A little pricey though $23 at that time last December. Overall I left full

I'm an absolute soup person, love ordering soup at restaurants and their chicken corn soup was so good!! The chicken was shredded fine just the way I like and didn't taste watered down the way sometimes soup does. It also arrived piping hot and tasted fresh! will come back for this in the winter. I also had a zinger w masala fries. The fries had perfect amount of masala taste and the Zinger was HUGE and pretty tasty, it wasn't greasy but i would say there's too much lettuce. Overall I will be coming back to try more menu items like the coffee shake, Chaat, and butter chicken.
