Went in search of a good chai place in Shimoga and found this gem. The ginger elaichi tea was really good. Saw a lot of college kids enjoying their pizzas and maggie. Will visit soon to savour some.

Authentic Taste, Cozy Vibes Shivamogga Matka Chai captures the true essence of traditional Indian chai. Served in rustic clay cups, the aroma alone is enough to transport you to the heart of Karnataka. The blend has just the right balance of spices, perfectly brewed for that rich, comforting flavor. The atmosphere is equally inviting, with friendly staff and a relaxed, authentic vibe. If you appreciate a well-crafted cup of chai, this place is a must-visit!

This cafe serves the variety of snacks with generous quantity in affordable price. A good place to spend ur evening with friends having a bite along with hot chocolate tea... The place have got enough space to allow the customers sit and spend time, but the only issue is with the parking space, for which one should go searching..
