MBA types call it luxury positioning. Old wine in a fancier bottle but served in a swanky place with fancy plates and edgy names. Chaaye stall, in my opinion, does this well enough to charge 243 bucks for two decent chais and one excellent sandwich. Ambiance inside is good for conversations, but the open windows and terrible traffic outside kills the vibe. Place has good choice of teas, a few coffees but a nice spread of tea time snacks like Pakodas and Sandwiches. We went with the Queen of spices and elaichi chai which were pretty good and decently priced. The waiter recommended a Mumbai Manoos sandwich which was yummy but a tad expensive, it did have the authentic Mumbai sandwich taste (Yay!) which will bring me back. Being close to Garuda mall is good location and will make a visit here a good idea once the ongoing construction ends.
On a side note, blogging after such a long time is to be attributed to pals from Writers club which I been hanging out on Saturdays on and off since the last 4 years. Great way to get over writers block.
