My visit to Chai Junoon was fantastic! Bun kebab, chicken sandwich, and samosa chaat were delicious. Kashmiri chai and junoon special chai were the best tea I’ve ever had. The place was cozy, and the staff was super friendly.

The tea story cafe is a hidden gem in Khalidiyah that I just recently discovered. I was pleasantly impressed by the variety of meals available at this cafe. Their signature beef burger is one of the tastiest I’ve ever had and is quite reasonably priced. It tastes much superior to some of the more costly beef burgers I’ve tasted in the past. Their wraps were amazing, and you could taste the freshness in every bite. Their milkshakes and mojitos are delicious, and their zaafran karak tea is the best you’ll ever taste. Warm and airy, the French toast was an ideal breakfast choice. They also have a very welcoming and helpful staff. I would highly recommend you to check it out.

Im really excited to share review of this cafe. As it surprised me in very ways I tried number of dishes from here. Signature burger Zafrani karak tea Steakhouse chicken Bar bq chicken burger Arabic zinger wrape Blue lagoon Oreo shake Iced latte Potatoes with meat & cheese I was bit reluctant in trying Australian beef burger as im not a big fan of beef. But to my surprise,  it was heavenly delicious.  Loaded with beef bacon, onions and spacial sauce. Loved the drikns, karak was as always best. Iced Latte was soooo refreshing and freshly brewed.  Fries were crispy with yummilicious combination of meat and cheese I lovedddd the Arabic zinger wrape and newly introduced Bar bq chicken burger. Service was on time. Food served fresh & hot Cafe isn't for big gatherings. You can order their food through @zomato.uae Or dine in also. Overall,  the taste justifies the really reasonable price. I would highly recommend this place for quick n delicious fast food and drinks.

Loved my visit to the Chai Junoon Cafe! The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is super friendly. The cheese chicken parathas, bun kebab, nihari and chapli kebab were all delicious. Don't miss the Kashmiri chai and Junoon Special chai - perfect with the savory dishes. Will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend.

Chai Junoon seems to be living up to its name! It’s a cute little new venture by a British Pakistani family serving delicious good quality foods. A variety of Desi breakfast favourites along with international options too. We tried the aloo paratha, shakshouka and the chicken cheese paratha - so delicious! The tea and coffee choices will not disappoint either, especially at the amazing prices!
