Samay Chai

"The butter chicken here is unbelievable. They have really nailed it- the chicken marinated and cooked to perfection, so tender and juicy. And the sauce is perfectly spiced and so smoky. As someone who grew up in Delhi, this is even better than what you would find there. Keep it up guys! Cheers."

"The food here is sooo good. Ordered the regular ginger and cardamom tea, orange and pistachio tea, sabudana vada and vada pav. All the items were very good. The vada pav was slightly spicy/hot for me personally (I should have mentioned my spice level to reduce the green chutney) but the flavor was great. Also ordered the butter chicken to go with roti and my only complaint was with the roti. Butter chicken was also quite flavorful and not just sweet like most places make it."

"What an incredible experience at Samay Chai! I was able to try all three kinds of chai and loved the rosemary best! It wasn’t too intense, or sweet, just the right amount!! And the food was absolutely incredible, I have never had food this flavorful from a food truck in my life. Y’all need to try this place! Make sure to get smoked paneer curry (I forgot the actual name oops!). Also I loved the appetizers! And the butter chicken was so flavorful with the roti! 10/10 I want to come here all the time"

"Samay chai is fantastic all around! The food is on point, owner the nicest, and chai outta this world. We ordered butter chicken which came with garlic roti on the side. The butter chicken was creamy and flavorful, the roti thin and perfect to devour it with! It was my first time having vada pav and I'm sold! While I don't have anything to compare it to, I hope they're all this tasty. The bun was soft with chutneys on it, sprinkled with garlic crunch, and the aloo in the middle chunky and packed with flavor. Also loved the dahi sev puri, which was drenched in dahi and satisfied my chaat cravings! The only thing that could've made this even better is tamarind chutney on top as well. But the CHAI, Y'ALL. They have 3 flavors - rosemary, orange pistachio, and ginger cardamom. I love the creativity in flavors and I'll be back to try them all! I ordered the orange pistachio, which was magic in my mouth. The subtle favors came together perfectly and I could see the fresh orange shavings at the bottom when finished. It's chai szn, perfect for a chilly day! We chatted with the owner for a while after our meal and he told us a little about the origin of the name. Samay is a romanticized word for "moment" in Hindi. It represents how chai creates reason for people to gather, to enjoy a moment together as they enjoy the beverage. Excited to see the success of this food truck. Go check it out!"
