Cha Sha & Coffee

Truly a chai dhabba/Pakistani chai spot vibe with cute Pakistan decor and a long list of chai types available. We tried doodh Patti, Karak, and Matka chai and enjoyed playing Carom board while we waited. The chai is legit, non mind-blowing (Karak could definitely be stronger/less milky), but chai is definitely a strong personal preference. Overall the atmosphere and menu options are fantastic. Also, please get some powder for your Carom board!

If a restaurant could be a hug, that is what Cha Sha is!! Cha Sha is warm and cozy, yet bright and lively! We ate here on a a rainy Columbus evening; the various chai options warmed both our bellies and our souls. My partner opted for the masala chai--always a classic! And I chose to try something new (to me): the Kashmiri chai. I was rewarded with a warm, nutty, and delicately floral milk tea with a BEAUTIFUL pink color.For dinner we shared the samosas chaat (very healthy portion!!!) and the chicken boti roll. I don't know what else to explain for this other than you need it, go get it now. Chat had plenty of crispy samosa, sweet tamarind and mint chutney, mango, and chickpeas. The Boti roll has great spiced chicken on a buttery flaky paratha.For dessert we got the Chikoo milkshake-lightly sweet but so delicious and creamy; the Gulab jamun sundae (I will always alway get this when we come); and the Ras malai (a great portion for the price!).Staff are so friendly! They check in on you frequently and are always keeping the tables clean, and you can really tell they care.This is our new fav spot!

Cute little coffee shop! They have cute decorations all around and they tie the place together perfectly. I loved that they had a chai flight so I was able to try three types of tea. I also tried the pani poori which I've never had anything like it before. It was a thin dough, served cold, with a sauce. There were so many flavors but it all came together perfectly, with a little kick. The only reason this restaurant wasn't a 5/5 for me was the timing. We got the dish first, ate it all up, and we were still waiting for the drinks to come. After a while, my husband got his drink and finished it, and I still hadn't gotten my flight. A few minutes later, I finally got my flight. The chai was served hot and in glass cups without handles which made it difficult to drink until the glass cooled down a bit.

Disclaimer: this is not the place for me specifically, but others may well enjoy it! You should still go try it out.The lemon cake was lovely, in a Starbucks lemon loaf way but less tooth-achingly sweet. The chai latte was... not lovely, but too floral and not sweet enough. The rose petal decoration looks cute... until it sinks to the bottom of the cup and you get a mouthful of CHUNKS at the end of your sip. Service was super friendly, but rather slow for what I ordered. I think the place is still new and staff may need more training, but I waited a good 10 minutes for a tea latte and some pre-sliced cake, with three people working.Overall, not my vibe, but I can see people feeling different about it for various reasons.

Cha Sha is an interesting South Asian coffee/tea shop concept that while it has good intentions, it fails to deliver overall. The ambiance is nice and relaxing with Bollywood posters, South Asian décor and wall art, and a couple of games set up. The menu items look appealing, although the food on display looked stale. Our group ordered the Gul Bahar waffle and a large kettle of tea. Our order took over 30 minutes to arrive, even though the place was not busy at all. The waffle was a large shareable portion, and the sweet Gulab jamun and ice cream combined with the waffles made for a delicious dessert. The tea was ok - not very strong and lacked overall flavor. I will be back here to try out some of their other drink items, and hope that they will have worked out the kinks in service and make some efficiency gains by then.

A cozy chai spot on Bethel Road, where I visited with my family for afternoon tea and snacks. We ordered matka chai, chikoo shake, lime soda, kulcha, bun ka baap, paneer quesadilla, and gulbahar waffle.The chai came in a charming matka, but the flavor was underwhelming, with the tea leaves overpowering the taste. The chikoo shake was delicious, but the lime soda lacked flavor. The kulcha was decent but tasted like it had been frozen. The bun ka baap was spicy, and to my surprise, came with an egg, which we were told was just brushed on the bun. The paneer quesadilla was okay, but could've used more flavor. The waffle, though a fun concept, was quite heavy--best to share.Overall, the café's concept is unique, but I wish they offered better food options, especially for vegetarians.

I've actually been eying this place for a while. I spotted it once they put the sign up, though it looked like it was still under construction. Once I started seeing posts on IG, I had to make my way over here!My friend and I came on a weekday evening. A lot of families and groups of friends here. It's a nice chill vibe.We ordered a few things to share: falooda, gulab jamun sundae, watermelon juice, chai (not sure which kind), pani puri, and a chicken club sandwich. There were a lot of things on the menu to try! And we loved everything!!Prices were reasonable too.Lots of really great decor here and the staff are friendly. Food came out pretty fast.My friend and I sat here for a while. It's just a fun place to hang out. Can't wait to return!

Such a cute little cafe! The chicken egg sandwich was not for me (too much raw onion and chutney for my taste) but take that with a grain of salt, as I haven't had much food similar to this and didn't read the full description before ordering (oops). The ambience was great and the drinks were delicious! They had music videos playing on a TV, in classic Asian fashion, and charming bits of handmade decor, like floral coasters. It wasn't *quiet*, but a comfortable volume for casual conversation or studying.The Kashmiri Chai Latte was sooo good and I was kind of jealous that I didn't order it. Look at that gradient!! So pretty. The masala chai was also delicious. The cashier/server poured it in the glass for me and left the rest of the pot at the table. Both drinks were rich and just a perfect amount of subtle sweetness. From what I understand, none of the drinks use dairy milk. I actually forgot til I looked at the menu on the way out, because it tasted and felt like they were made with dairy milk.I'm definitely excited to come back and try other chai!

Cute little desi cafe that has a variety of desi flavors of chai and cofee as well as some food and dessert. The samosa chaat was tasty with an actual kick of spice. The pani puri tasted refreshing. The sugarcane juice was a personal favorite as it was light and refreshing, would recommend! The ambiance is cute and the place definitely gets busy quickly. It was pretty full even on a Tuesday evening! Given that it was busy, it did take time for the food to come out, which may also speak to the freshness of it.

Everything was delicious! Can't wait to come back and try some of their drinks! Lots of seating, endless parking, friendly service, giant menu, quiet but fun music, late hours and cozy vibes make this a great place to hang out and read, talk with friends, bring a board game, work on your laptop or just grab some food and soak it all in.
