Chai Charcha & Change is an outlet on Mysore Road, Bangalore / Bengaluru right opposite to Christ University and is making waves with it comes to taste. This small outlet focuses on different Indian Cuisines and integrate the best items into its menu coming very close to excellent Dhaba food. The outlet also serves barbeque vegetables and chaats in the evening. Most popular among the students from the nearby areas and travelers. The ambiance is of a typical roadside dhaba with plastic tables and chairs.
We tried an array of food here and we were totally excited with what is being offered at a very nominal cost. Read my review on other popular destinations like Absolute Barbeque, Krazzy Folds, Indian Paratha Company
What to Order?
Tandoori Paneer Paratha – Paneer Paratha made in Tandoor, with zero oil. The Paratha is served with Raita, pickles and tasted simply fantastic. The Tandoor made the paratha very soft.
Cheese and Gobi Paratha – Another absolutely must paratha, if you’re not so particular about your calories. The cheesy goodness with Gobi was out of the world. The paratha is a bit heavy on the stomach but would leave you mesmerized.
Onion Curd Masala – This is a must have especially with the Parathas. This is a household Rajasthani dish and will make your taste buds explode with flavors.
Tandoori Panner Tikka – Mouth watering spicy Paneer Tikka served with chat masala on top and raw onions. Excellent preparation with a lot of garlic flavor.

Veg Fried Rice – Mixed vegetables fried rice which included capsicum, corn, onion and other veggies. The taste was great.
Tandoori Chocolate Naan with Sweet Curd – An innovative dessert made out of chocolate sauce and paneer mashed together and filled in a bread. The bread is baked in the Tandoor. The sweet bread was served with sweet curd. OMG! Superb!
