With the tagline “experiments with chai” Chaayos offers over 12,000 varieties of chai- including trademark options like the Hari Mirch Chai and Aam Papad Chai. The cafes offer a contemporary yet rustic ambience, elevating the often taken-for-granted beverage, from a local tapri setting to an experiential offering.

The latest innovation is an app based ordering solution through innovative disposable kettles, that they are using to deliver chai all over Delhi and Gurgaon.
