    Chicken 65 with rumali
    Kutub M.

    Loved the ambiance and service. The food came out fast and was delicious. We ordered papdi chaat , pani puri and chicken 65 with rumali roti. I loved the paapdi chaat but the 65 was good too. Customer service is pretty good too.

    We tried the Bun Maska, Zafrani Chai, Dahi Puri, and Sandwich. The food was good, but the portion sizes were definitely on the smaller side. The service could use some improvement, it took quite a while for our order to arrive, and once it did, we felt the staff was indirectly rushing us to finish so they could seat the next guests. The ambiance and decor were nice and created a pleasant atmosphere, but the overall experience was a bit let down by the service and portion sizes.

    Update: Went for the second time tonight and this place is now my go to spot for Chaat!! Kush, the guy who mans the chaat cart absolutely knows what's what. The flavors, ingredients, the chutneys and the perfect assemblage of it all. Never thought a chai cafe would serve such amazing chaat but here we are. Got the dahi puri and sev puri, and both were wow. Also had the chicken 65 and other than the fact that it was very yummy, the portion was huge! Finished with the bun maska, which along with the Karak chai could and should be reason enough to go there again.

    Loved this concept of people catching up with chai. We got the Karak chais here. We also wanted the ginger tea but it was unavailable. They have a bunch of bites to eat. They offer cookies to dunk in and have samosas and wraps. Would love to try the food here next time.

    New chai place in Fremont! And they have live Hindi music! Chai and snacks are amazing too. Service is quick and the place is decently clean

    I heard good things about this spot and finally gave it a try. The space is a decent size and the Irani Chai was ok comparable to other good places ive visited. However, the biscuit was out of this world. The samosas were tasty, and the Bhel Puri (chaat) was absolutely awesome. While the chicken biryani was just okay, ill definitely be back to explore more of the chaat menu and try the ginger n lemon tea.

    So we used to come to the old place which was tandoori and curry and now finally gave a shot to this new one "karak chail". They been advertising this place for few months now. Interior has been revamped to make more room for fast customers to drink and leave. The menu is mix of food and drinks. Limited drinks surprisingly. The place has music so bit dissatisfied with that. The karak chai itself was a bummer. Its masala chai. Karak chai should not have masala. The irani chai was better. We got the dum chicken biryani to test how it was compared to prior. Im not exactly sure if its same owner as before, but the sad part is for dine in they served the hot food in plastic containers as if it was to go. We came for dine in and serving in plastic utensils, plates and containers. Biryani rice didnt have much flavor, ok they provided 2 pieces of chicken (one thigh and one leg) the chicken 65 which isnt my speciality but my friends said if was good. The dum biryani was not dum, just a play on name. More like chicken pulao with food coloring. Its like an attempt to copy deccan morsels with more seating tbh. The chai at bundoo khan or pakwan is better. Also for dine in, the chai cups are you plastic to go and the size of cups (8oz) was not enough for $4 a masala/karak chai. But folks in bay area dont care for quality and will pay so yea lol The gulab jamun came cold. Not even warmed up. Highly disappointed. Gotta repeat again: the name of the place is karak chai and that itself was not karak chai

    Loved the ambience and service. At our first visit, we tasted the Irani chai, Black Forest Cake, Osmania biscuit and the papri chat. Osmania bis: 5/5 (freshly baked) Irani chai: 4/5 Black Forest Cake: 3.5/5 Papri Chat: 5/5 We will surely come back again and again.

    Really good place good to hang out. Good place to be get the chai I'm just gonna give them. Four star for their service was good. The only the problem the first week first two weeks actually the chai was really good. but now I go this week chai the quality was really down. Poor quality try look like they're using the old really disappointed if they want to keep running, they have to keep the chai same flavor I hope he is ridden my review and get working working on it chai because in Fremont there is there are more places to get the Chai so please make sure keep the same quality And there biscuit really really good must try

    Black Forest cake
    Sakeb K.

    Nice ambiance! We just stopped for a quick tea break. Irani chai was great, but the Osmania Biscuit stole the show! The Black Forest cake was also more than decent. Can't wait to come back with a larger gang on the weekend nights :)

    The chai was delicious! And the owner was very kind. A variety of snacks and desserts to choose from. I definitely want to come back with my friends.

    YEMENI COFFEE and pastries in Fremont! They are a franchise with a lot of locations in Michigan and…read moreNY but this is currently their ONLY location in California so consider it a special exclusive for now. They have coffee and pastries you will not find anywhere else in Fremont and remind me of some of the "Little Arabia" neighborhoods you normally only find in LA on the West Coast. Mufawar Coffee : Before cappuccinos and lattes, there was Mufawar. Born in Yemen's highlands, this creamy, cardamom-infused coffee made my morning, I loved being able to choose the sweetness level. Bee Bites: Sliced like a pie, covered in honey, delicious pastry with cheese inside. The kids loved this and debated over who got the last piece. Fatayer: I've had the chicken, beef, and spinach & feta and all were excellent. It's snack-sized and not too big and actually a perfect size for me to pair with their excellent coffee. Musakhan Chicken Roll: Chicken, olive oil, onion, spices. Again, I might be in the minority but I like snack sized food and not too big. I split this in half as a 2 snacks and it was excellent. Za'atar and cheese croissant: Za'atar is one of my favorite spice combos and Ioved it on this croissant, I reheated this in a toaster oven at 350 degrees at home and it was excellent! Frozen Blend: Pineapple Mango: Comes in a very cool glass and the kids destroyed this, they loved it so much!

However, the taste was a little disappointing. I do like a fluffly, textured donut, however, these are served cold and very sweet. It's just a different donut than the ones I prefer. They had a wide selection of flavors, even on late morning of a weekend. We tried the tiramisu (2/5) donut and the biscoff cream donut (3/5). But both were too sweet for my taste. I can't say that I'd be back, but if you're looking for something unique, I think you'd enjoy this little shop. They also sell croissants, more savory treats, and coffee!

I honestly love the decor and environment that this Cafe offers. Each wall has a different mural or painting on it. I tried to take pictures of everything, but a lot of customers were sitting at different tables. So I only have a couple of the beautiful mirrors pictured. Hee Their menu is the perfect brunch or lunch environment for breakfast and savory lovers!! Their seasonal ice brew coffee changes, which I love and the current one is this Latin American iced coffee that literally taste like chocolate! The gentleman told me it has a harmony flavor like toffee if you get it hot!! I also love their Jamaica tea if you need something besides coffee and I have yet to try their kombucha, but I definitely need to come here for their jazz night!! The French toast, avocado toast, as well as their mission peak sandwich and Monte Cristo we're all delicious and my aunt and niece love their food and my one year-old Nephew loved the avocado toast!! I've never seen so many slices of avocado on a $13 avocado toast in my life!! They definitely do not skim on the avocado!! I definitely felt like I got my moneys worth!! I love coming here!!
