About Chiya wallas

Chiya Wallas is a cheerful, nostalgic, and wonderfully aromatic tea shop that celebrates the beloved Nepali tradition of chiya (tea) and the friendly vendors — the chiyawallas — who serve it with pride and warmth on every street corner, market, and neighborhood. True to its name, this charming spot captures the essence of those small, unpretentious tea stalls where conversations flow as freely as the steaming, spiced milk tea. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and inviting, with simple seating (plastic chairs, wooden benches, or even roadside stools), the comforting sound of tea being poured from a height, and the rich fragrance of ginger, cardamom, cloves, and fresh milk filling the air. The menu may be small, but every item is made with heart: classic masala chiya, ginger tea, lemon tea, tulsi tea, green tea, and sometimes suja (butter tea). Pair your cup with traditional snacks like samosa, pakora, bara, chana chatpate, momo, or biscuits. Whether you're starting your morning, taking an afternoon break, meeting friends for an adda (hangout), or winding down after work, Chiya Wallas promises an authentic, soul-warming tea experience — where every sip tastes like home, and every cup comes with a smile. After all, in Nepal, a day without chiya is like a sky without stars.
