chai shai restaurant and coffee shop

the food wasgoodbut the service was extremely slow and especially because we went during ramadan, it was frustrating to wait for the food.

the rolls were very oily. kukkad burger is worth a try. anda wala burger was average.
chapeli kababs were spot on.

overall the ambience was good.

i ordered bun kabab and karahi both were below average.
bun kabab just tasted of dal and nothing else.
the karahi did not even look like a karahi, the chicken was undercooked and dint taste like a karahi.
i would never recommend this place to anyone
poor food quality, waste of time and money.
the ones givinggoodreviews about anda wala burger have never tastedgoodfood. people are fooling with wrong positive reviews .

so today me and my two friends went to chai shai to have somegoodfood and sheesha. there was a match between india and newzealand. unfortunately india lost the match and the whole staff with manager started playing song mauka mauka. it's not fair for the indians who visit there to have agoodtime. we three girls were numb. it gave a hatred feeling. we are staying in abroad and we should respect eachother. but this cafe did exactly opposite. if you don't want indians in your cafe. kindly put a board accordingly. do they really think this will be allowed in dubai?? we had already given the order so we stayed back. it's really sad manager/owner himself behaving like that. hence, i request all the indians not to visit chaishai cafe. this will be my last visit here. what you did today was hurtful and absolutely wrong!!

chai shai is a very calm and beautiful place in the heart of ajman, where there’s shisha, vibes and verygoodcustomer service.

the main highlight is their shisha (firangi) and their food. also mr ali who is a very helpful and welcoming waiter.

one of my favourite go to places on a weekend and i definitely recommend it forgoodchill night with friends and family.

if u are looking forgoodfood, this is not the place to go.
i ordered mutton karahi, chicken karahai and jalferazi, nothing taste good.
may be cafe side is good.

good food, exactly like pakistani taste , enjoyed the ambiance and food. tea was so perfect loved this alot. handi and chapli kabab alsogoodbut we personally didnt like beef bihari boti that much would give 7/10

we have ordered 6 chapli kebab and extremely disappointed, we received this all broken kebab in pieces and the size was so small in the price of 14 aed per piece. the ones we had at the cafe was agoodsize. the box was opened and received cold.

chai shai is one of my best place in uae to have desi food, the daal chawal they serve is amazing, you will feel like eating at home, bbq and everything they serve is soo tasty. a must place for family and friends to visit, the ambience is verygoodlove the interior ❤️

thankyou so much @chaishai.ae for this lovely event and thankyou @peppersblog__ @haashmarketing for organizing a wonderful event and making me a part of this beautiful event we all pakistani had a great time.


@mehreenzubairvlogs @warab2021 @thereviewsjournal @interestinglymy @makeupbyhinasufyan it was lovely meeting to you all at the event 🇵🇰❤️

excellent ambience andgoodfood. service was verygoodand staff was very nice and friendly. we ordered balouchi kadai and naan which were tasty. hats off to our server anu who was extremelygoodwith her services. also enjoyed paan vanilla shisha!

we ordered 2 sheesha with samosa chat ,chole chat and of-course chai
sheesha was awesome withgoodservice and staff was warm and welcoming.
the food was not upto the mark . both the dishes were salty with extra lemon in it .
ambience was awesome with typical desi vibes and bollywood and pakistani music .
it’s a great place to hangout with sheesha but not recommended to eat chaat here .
take lot of photos and have a great time in cafe .

great place forgoodfood and sheesha. the place is divided into two sections where one section sheesha is served and other one without sheesha only for food. this place is a hidden gem in ajman with excellent ambiance and service. the sheesha flavour a served are all excellent. the best part of this restaurant we observed was the pricing is very reasonable. even the food was commendable. recommended 👍🏻. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

update
2nd visit: went there for dinner with the family. ordered mutton karhai, chicken biryani and their lava-daal shashkay (daal chawal). the food was really delicious. the taste and the spices were on point and the tandoori rotis were perfect. this time, the chai was perfectly done. can’t wait to go back and try some of their other items.

this place will give you all kinds of pakistan feels. the truck art inspired decor is beautifully done!! they have a separate section for dining and a separate section for shisha.

1st visit: we went post-dinner for shisha and chai. the shisha wasgoodbut the chai was a bit of a let down. it wasn’t asgoodas people were raving about it, but i’m guessing because of the eid rush, they could be busy. the chai is served in a cute little kettle.

will definitely go back and try the food and the chai again.

was excited to see a pakistani restaurant open up with so much hype but was sadly let down with the experience.. the onlygoodparts were the aloo & laccha parathas, meethi lassi that tasted amazing and the interiors, very lively ambiance.

now for the cons.. we went for suhour and the restaurant was completely empty on the family side except some people from management were sitting in a corner.. as one expects from a new outlet, you welcome your guests and show signs ofgoodhospitality to retain the customers, especially as pakistan is known for hosting guests, however, a lady rudely sent a waiter to check our temperature after we were seated and didn’t bother to check up whether we enjoyed the food or even a simple ‘welcome to our restaurant’, which was off putting. most restaurants withgoodcustomer service but average food go far only by treating their customers well but this place seems to take the risk of letting their customers decide for themselves if they would like to come back after not being acknowledged, not even welcomed.

as for the food, it looked really good, but lacked taste majorly. the halwa was barely 2 spoons as seen in the picture, you would expect at least a plate or more than 2 bites for 6 dhs but this seemed like it should’ve been complimentary for its size. the chana and aloo tarkari tasted almost same, no spice or taste at all. now for the chai.. they’ve priced it at 6 dhs for an average cup of chai, not sure why but wishing them the best of luck with this strategy.

all in all, an average experience that could’ve been improved with just a smile on the manager’s face or an introduction to the restaurant especially since we were all for supporting a new business. the taste was also quite lackluster, nothing to rave about.

balochi karai and tawa keema wasgood but doodh jalabi was notgoodit was tasteless and also the chai seems to be not fresh .and price is very high chai price is high and also the water and soft drinks .
