Chiya Chai Logan Square 2770 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647

"One of the curry/masala sauces my wife and I have ever had (the sauce that comes with the masala dumplings and the masala fries, not the tikka masala (although that was very good also)). We were obsessed with the fries and dumplings. The dumplings literally melted in your mouth. The fries were perfectly cooked, seasoned, and came with one of the best sauces ever. All the different chai options are fun. Also, they have one of the best happy hours ever! It’s every dat from 6-9 and it’s $5 margs, old fashioneds, and more! Unbelievable! We also got the pev puri which we enjoyed a lot and the chicken tikka masala which was delicious (although we wished it was bigger for the price). The garlic paratha was good but didnt taste like garlic at all. Everything was very reasonably priced (except maybe the tikka masala). We absolutely loved it here and will definitely come back! Easily top 2 best Indian we’ve ever had anywhere."

"The quality and the flavor variety of Chai at Chiya Chai is simply amazing. We tried the black cardamom and cardamom pistachio, both of which were rich in flavor. The ambience is very open with plenty of tables and seatings available for studying and working."

"Deliciousness in every bite. Chiya chai offers great South Asian street foods and other entrees also. The chai is outstanding. Alcohol with South Asian spices was unique and excellent. The back room also offers some gatherings once in a while. The place is spacious with nice ambiance. Service was very attentive too."

"Food tastes home cooked which hard to find at a restaurant! Ordered Saag paneer, Potato and cauliflower curry, and pork vindaloo. Saag paneer was mild and creamy. The vindaloo and curry were rich and flavorful. Drinks we ordered: iced salted caramel chai and ginger cardamom chai. everything was a hit! Best casual spot in Logan Square."

"This Nepalese casual spot is really nice place for some tasty small portions but their chai teas are the star of this place. There is a lot of similarities in flavor from Indian cuisine, so if you are familiar with their spice palate, this is a must try. The staff suggested masala chai tea (iced), which was amazing and stayed true to the traditions of this cuisine. Note that halfway through the drink, give it a good stir so the spices (eg cinnamon) mix with the tea as they tend to settle at the bottom of cup. Ordered from the kitchen the hot curry wings which was spicy with a hint of sweet on initial taste. The heat on the back end is quite good and worth a try. The pork dumplings had traditional spices in a chewy pasta pillow. The mint basil chutney was my fave dip for this dumpling, but I also enjoyed the tomato based sauce. A very strong 4.3 stars with friendly and fast service."
