Little Things matter most
Tata Cha is designed to reflect the heritage of Tata Global Beverages while embracing local culture. Located on 12th main road in Indiranagar, this mighty small cafe has a lot to offer. Speaking about their interior space and the kind of comfort zone it offers, your business meeting/conversation would definitely turn out to be a magical one. This place is indeed one of the best tea drinking place in Bangalore.
Let’s discuss about their favorite drink/delicacy:
-
Chakri Samosa with Masala Shikanji
Chakri Samosa is a unique kind of snack served by this cafe. The spicy green chutney is an amazing side dip for this snack. Masala Shikanji being one of their local favourite tea beverage soothes your taste buds and gives you a refreshing taste in your mouth. Cream roll with classic kadak cha would be a good option to try.
-
Dabeli
Nothing beats our traditional Indian street food “Dabeli”. Bringing the street food concept to a live vibrant environment involves a calculated amount of risk. The taste of this snack is totally original and is something never to be missed. Dabeli Masala is the main ingredient of this dish followed by Sev referred to as Indian Farsan. Sharing would be the last thing a person could ever imagine.
Overall Experience and Rating
Their main idea was to introduce the concept of tapri chai (tea joint) in a modern environment. We were quite surprised looking at the design of this cafe. They have kept a small shelf containing a small kettle, mini jars, colorful books and attractive table lamps which acts as a add-on to the minute detailing of the design. The menu will boast of a wide variety of healthy teas like Cucumber Green Tea and Sugar-free Tangy Tamarind that can be paired with Oil-free Soya Kababs to suit every mood. Mumbai Vada Pav, Dabeli and Dal Pakwan with Shikanji are some of our highly recommended dishes. The hot tea range includes Sikkim teas, Masala tea, Gulkand tea and Nimbuda Black tea. Hot Gulkand chai would be a good pick from their list of hot beverages. Chili Guava Slush, Meetha Pan Milkshake and Rasmalai milkshake are the most recommended options amongst their icy cold beverages. The food menu includes regional recipes from Butter Chicken Khichdi in the North to Creamy Veg Stew in the South. Indigenous recipes such as Chatpata Matar Kulcha from the North and forgotten delicacies like Dal Pakwan also form a part of the menu, introducing them to the new-age millennials. Many of the offerings from the beverage and food menu are about reviving lost Indian recipes that evoke nostalgia in the minds of customers. They have a very friendly and attentive staff who take good care of their customers. Since it’s a small cafe, there is no room for music. Rather they believe in keeping the conversation interesting over a tea break. Their tea making machine is quite unique in its style. Tea can be served in different proportions decided by the size of glass kept at the counter. We were stunned looking at the variety of offerings this place had to make.

One of the unique concepts we ever came across.The outer layer of bao was very soft,chewy and stuffed with spicy paneer gravy. The presentation of the dish and it’s exceptional taste indeed makes it a must try dish for all Paneer Lovers.
We especially liked the extra spicy bhaji stuffed in super light cones, making the dish a perfect bar accompaniment.The spiral shaped cones will put a smile on your face on your first bite itself.The stuffed Paav Bhaji blends completely well with the crispy fortunate cones to make it an amazing dish.
One of the mouthwatering shake ever had. It contains a mixture of cadbury chocolate balls,oreo biscuits,gems,kitkat bars and crushed powdered chocolate along with some whipped cream at the top.The appearance definitely steals the show but the taste will show the path towards heaven.
