We went here on a Friday evening and tried the Vada Pav, Palak Poori & Chana Masala and the Samosa Chaat. The servers were very friendly and told us their specials and popular dishes. We also got the masala chai which came in a kulhad cup. The chai was nice and had a strong ginger flavor. The Palak Poori was good and chana masala as well but the portion size felt small and not super filling for the price. Same with vada pav, I was expecting 2 at the price which is the typical standard in a plate, but they gave only 1. The vada itself was delicious with a dinner roll instead of a traditional pav. Overall I think they have really good food and can be considered for casual meetings or snacks. I didn't feel the portion size was enough for a full dinner given the prices.

Had lunch here this weekend and absolutely loved everything about this cool, casual café. Honestly, we need more spots like this around! You order at the counter, pick up your food when it's ready, and bus your own table. Everything is made fresh to order, which I really appreciate. Since the chef is Bengali, we had to try the luchi puri with dum aloo -- three pieces of perfectly puffed puri with a generous serving of dum aloo. We also got the palak puri with aloo subzi and that was fantastic as well. But the star of the lunch was the gobi Manchurian. Oh my word -- hands down the best I've ever had. Super crispy, coated in just the right amount of sauce so it stayed dry and crunchy, exactly how we like it. The adrak chai was excellent too. Service was quick, and the menu has so many things we still want to try. We'll definitely be back!

Stopped by on a Friday evening. Was pleasantly surprised with the lovely chai and we liked pretty much everything we tried. Just one feedback is to please stop usage of single use plastic or at least switch to biodegradable options. It doesn't feel good to cause wastage plus I didn't like eating the delicious hot Gobi Manchurian off a plastic box. Service was super quick and friendly. Ambience is casual and nice.

The dahi puri was so delightful, bright crunchy, sweet. Could have used (more?) onion and maybe a little kick, but still something I'd come back for. I came for the Bombay sandwich and honestly was kind of disappointed. The only flavor I got was green bell pepper. The chutney was barely there and I was kind of confused why there wasn't more flavor overall. One hit, one miss.

A new Indian place in Bellevue that has good food and good chai. We liked the food so much we have been back a few times already and tried a lot of the items on the menu. Our first visit we had Palak poori with aloo masala, Dal Kachori with Chana masala, Kadak chai, and Mango shake. We loved both the Palak poori and Dal Kachori. My husband loved his Kadak chai and I liked my Mango shake. Over the next few visits we have had Poori with aloo masala, Delux Chicken tikka kathi roll, Halwa poori & chana masala, Masala Omelet, Veg cutlet, Kheema pav, Chicken tikka burger, Cheese chili toast, Chicken Cheese chili toast, Dahi poori, Papdi chaat. We have loved all the items we tried. Kheema pav and Cheese Chili toast are standouts. For dessert we have had Gulab Jamun, and Rasmalai and liked them both.

I had filter coffee, chili cheese toast and chicken Tikka burger. The flavors of both were great! I would come back for the filter coffee too! The bread is the toast did seem too hard but the toppings help. The food does take 15 or so minutes to come out but worth the wait.

We ordered various chais- Tazgi chai (mint), Kesar Chai, Kodak Chai, Elaichi Chai.. all tasted 100% true to their names! Very fresh and authentic chais. We loved the spicy vegetable poha as well, the crispy peanuts with lots of veggies made the perfect combo with the chai! The sandwich was mild flavor, but perfect for our toddler. Overall, superb experience in terms of speedy service (considering it was really busy the time we went). The place was noisy, but not something you could do about it. Not a place for a romantic date on a busy weekend evening, but great for a good getaway for families/couples.

Went early on a Saturday and the place was not very crowded. The restaurant is pretty spacious and well maintained for an Indian restaurant, but given that it just recently opened, not that surprising. We ordered chilli chicken Kathi roll, palak puri, kheema, kachori, batura and chai. The chilli chicken Kathi roll had too much sauce and it was extremely spicy. So much so that we felt like we were just mostly eating very spicy hot/schezwan sauce. The alone overpowered the taste. The palak pooris, batura and kachoris were freshly made and not soggy in the slightest but the accompanying curries were just alright. The kheema was slightly salty so couldn't eat too much of it. The chai - would not recommend. Ironical that they couldn't keep up with their namesake- the chai was utterly lacking. I felt like I was having a very sweet and full fat creamy milk rather than tea. Also, they serve everything in disposable plates, cutlery which, even though are compostable are disposed in the same trash can as the tea cups which are not compostable. Creates a huge waste. What's the point of dining in if we are still creating waste as take-out *sigh*

Tried the place a few days back. They have good North Indian snack options with decent taste. The chai is actually good too. I am generally skeptical about any place in Greater Seattle area serving decent chai but the place having its name as chai ought to be serving decent chai. And they didn't disappoint. If you are in the Bellevue area - definitely stop by here.

I would walk by often so I am excited that it's finally open! I have never had real chai (starbucks is not good...) before and the staff was more than helpful giving recs, since I also have some allergies. I got the Irani chai (tea leaves, cardamon, sugar, & milk) and it was very yummy. It felt like medicine for the soul. It is super hot though so be careful!! Since the weather is warming up, it would be nice to have an iced option but i don't know if that wouldn't be traditional I also got the chicken tikka kathi roll which was delicious & perf for a quick lunch on the go. Excited to try more off the menu!! Congrats on the grand opening :)

Such a lovely little cafe with a range of street food that feels nostalgic and varied. Visited for lunch and had a seamless experience. Service is friendly, cafe is clean and the food was nice. I'm excited to go back :)

The service was great, very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the decoration on the inside and it was clean. The food was also great, everything I got I enjoyed. Would recommend to anyone who likes Indian food/chai!

I've been coming here since they opened in April 2025 and have probably visited more than 15 times by now. Not once have I left disappointed. The consistency is honestly one of the best parts of this place; every single visit feels just as good as the last. It's run by two owners, one of whom is the head chef, and the other manages the front. She's super kind, always greets you warmly, and if you chat with her for a minute or two, you'll see how passionate she is about food. The menu has also grown a ton since they first opened, and you can tell that's because they really listen to what customers want. AMBIENCE: - Cozy and casual with clean interiors and bright colors. - Dessert counter is inviting and fun, though items rotate a bit depending on the day. - Great spot for a casual chai break or to sit down for a proper meal. FOOD: - Poori & Keema: My personal favorite. The chicken keema is rich, flavorful, and the pooris are always spot on. This is the one dish I'd bet nobody can dislike. - Palak Poori & Aloo Sabzi: Extremely rare to find Palak Poori in the US. Once you start, it's tough to stop. - Matar Kachori & Aloo Sabzi: Super soft crust, and the sabzi is a perfect match. Comforting and well-made. - Vegetable Cutlet (2 pcs): Loved this. Crisp outside, beet and potato balanced really well inside. - Keema Pav: Extremely good, using the same keema from the Poori & Keema. The pav itself is on the sweeter side, which isn't my preference, but others might enjoy it. - Bombay Sandwich: Quite close to what you'd find in Mumbai. Brings back memories. - Vada Pav: A really good version. Not Mumbai-style, but they never claimed it was. For what it is, it's an amazing generic Vada Pav. - Pav Bhaji: Decent, flavorful, and filling. Nothing extraordinary. - Pepper Chicken: Extremely good, packed with flavor. I wouldn't recommend it for takeout, but fresh at the café, it's fantastic. - Egg Hakka Noodles: Really good, but Pepper Chicken is the star of their Indo-Chinese. Same deal here, better fresh than to-go. - Samosa Chaat: Fine, nothing too special, but still tasty. - Paani Poori: Decent, fresh, and crisp. Fun to share. - Bread Pakoda: Just okay, not one of the stronger items. - Kesar Chai: Good and enjoyable. You can see the saffron and actually smell and taste it. DESSERTS: I should mention upfront that I'm not a big connoisseur of Indian desserts, so these are pretty personal takes. - Mango Shrikhand: Really good once, just okay another time. A little inconsistent. - Tiramisu: Surprisingly good, probably seasonal. Definitely worth trying if it's available. - Rasmalai Cake: Below average for me, but I'm not a Rasmalai fan in general, so Rasmalai lovers might enjoy it more. - Mishti Doi: Didn't fully suit my taste buds, but it's a rare dessert in the US and could be enjoyable if you like traditional Bengali sweets. FINAL THOUGHTS: "Chai N More" is one of the rare cafés that gets it right. The food is made with care, the menu keeps evolving, and the people behind it make you feel welcome every time. If you're in Bellevue and craving Indian café-style comfort food, this place should be on your list.
