WAH CHAI WAH !!!
Seriously a really great place to spend time. Read books, look around Leela Galleria, enjoy the AMAZING CHAI'S and still very minimum in your wallet !!! Great service, great ambience.

Bahut Ach-cha!
great variety.
good ambience.
seamlessly attached to the Oxford book store.
decent short-eats.
good hangout.
Not 1-2-cha-cha-cha but about 45-50 cha cha cha :)
And all great stuff. Do try chas minus the milk, like the previous reviewer pointed out.

Tea Drinking- An elaborate affair!
I am a coffee addict and I wonder why I visit this place so often! The menu has ten pages of different teas that you can choose from, one page for coffee and a section called "Other drinks"- talk about relegation! :)
Funnily, I never pick up coffee here. I love drinking the grape soda in Cha Bar.
Some things that I love about this place- It is an elaborate affair once you order tea- you get milk in a cow shaped vessel, you get a miniature strainer and a small bowl to keep the strainer!!! It is left upto you as to how you want your tea. Talk about paying a premium and having to make tea by yourself! To give the devil his due...there are teas that you don't need to prepare yourself...they come in glasses that have a "monkey" as the handle!
The short eats are nice but pricey. Since I don't drink any of the teas...I can tell you what all my friends think of the place- they LOVE it! It is far cheaper than Infinitea on Cunningham Road.
Cha Bar is attached to a book store- Oxford- a really nice place to pick up some good books.
Cha Bar is a host to many book launch sessions/ panel discussions which can be quite a pain since the entire cafe is occupied and they don't serve anything that day.

Tea anyone?
wonderful location - at the leela galleria. nice seating arrangement and most times you will not have to wait for the table.
what can you write about a place that has around 50 types of teas on its menu? do try the great darjeeling teas they have on their menu but pls pls pls do not ask for milk when you order the exquisite darjeeling teas. a bit of sugar is ok but not milk. some interesting teas from the far east are worth a try.
you do get some good salads and sandwiches although i would steer clear of the potato and chili pakoras.
would you like some tea?

Cute little bookstore cafe
Second level at the Leela Galleria you will find the Oxford Bookstore - quite a good place to pick up your latest book club titles. Adjacent to that you will find a cute and somewhat pretentious cafe called Cha Bar - they offer a very wide array of teas (quite expensive!) and some light snacks, such as salads and sandwiches. Good place to relax with the book over a cup of tea or a snack, but it should be much more of a comfortable cafe given it is in a bookstore, more comfortable seating, less stainless steel - just does not give you the inviting feeling a bookstore cafe should.
