About Chiya Maya - Gairidhara

Chiya Maya - Gairidhara is a tea café and casual hangout spot in the Gairidhara area of Kathmandu, Nepal (Sama Marga / Gairidhara Road). It’s one of the modern “chiya pasal”‑style cafés that blend traditional Nepali tea culture with a relaxed space for people to chat, sip tea, and spend time with friends or colleagues. Chiya Maya is known for serving a variety of teas, including classic milk tea and other local favorites, along with light snacks and refreshments that pair well with tea. In Kathmandu’s café scene, places like this offer more than just a drink — they provide a comfortable setting to unwind, socialize, or take a break from the day. The name “Chiya Maya” reflects the warm, affectionate connection many Nepalis feel toward tea (“chiya” means tea and “maya” means love), and the brand has grown popular enough to expand into multiple branches, including this one in Gairidhara.
