It is an old-fashioned tea room with a desi vibe and its delicious chai and kachoris have been attracting not only locals but also visitors to the city for the past many decades. On its walls are framed pictures of several celebrities, from politicians to Bollywood stars, who have visited the place for its special tea and snacks.

The menu is simple, butter toast and omelette, besides its famous chai and kachoris. There seems to be some magic in this simplicity which attracts people from all walks of life.
