About Chai Jaai
Overlooking the serene waters of the Jhelum River, Chai Jaai is Srinagar’s most Instagrammable and aesthetically pleasing tea room. Inspired by the Cotswolds and classic English tearooms but deeply rooted in Kashmiri culture, the interiors feature vibrant floral wallpapers, papier-mâché accents, and delicate chinaware.
Chai Jaai is the absolute best place in the city to enjoy a traditional cup of pink salt tea (Noon Chai) or saffron-infused Kehwa, paired with local delicacies like Shirmal and Kulcha. During the harsh winter months, their traditional Harissa (a slow-cooked meat delicacy) draws massive crowds. It is a favorite sanctuary for artists, writers, and travelers seeking a quiet, sophisticated corner to read a book while enjoying the mesmerizing river views and premium bakes.
