I have been to this place few items and tried different food from the menu. For me nothing stands out as per the food. The place is nicely decorated with Bollywood theme with games you can play with family or friends. The staff can be a hit and miss. I have experienced the staff being very friendly sometimes, and others not at all. However, every time I have went in, it was never busy. As per the food, I had their chai (karak chai, masala chai and Kashmiri chai.) I didn't care about any of them. They were extremely sweet for my taste. I had their pani puri and the puris seemed stale. Also, I have had their samosas and they were just ok. Every time we placed an order, it took a minimum of 20 minutes to get our food. However, they do cater food and will display and serve the food at a party. And they do a phenomenal job on the decoration to display the food. I highly recommend them just for the decoration, not sure about the food though. read more

Nice, relaxing atmosphere ...just a nice place to enjoy a Chai or some street food. Very friendly service. I had the Masala Chai to go but will be back to enjoy some food treats. Masala Chai tasted very good. Liked the variety of spices in the tea - ginger, cinnamon and a few others. read more

A terrific Pakistani coffee shop. The price was reasonable, $5.98 for 2 iced Americanos. It is clean and very comfortable with friendly employees. Enjoyed meeting one of the girls who helped with the outstanding wall paintings. We will be back!! read more

Cha Sha & Coffee - Wall painting. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Truly a chai dhabba/Pakistani chai spot vibe with cute Pakistan decor and a long list of chai types available. We tried doodh Patti, Karak, and Matka chai and enjoyed playing Carom board while we waited. The chai is legit, non mind-blowing (Karak could definitely be stronger/less milky), but chai is definitely a strong personal preference. Overall the atmosphere and menu options are fantastic. Also, please get some powder for your Carom board! read more

Disclaimer: this is not the place for me specifically, but others may well enjoy it! You should still go try it out. The lemon cake was lovely, in a Starbucks lemon loaf way but less tooth-achingly sweet. The chai latte was... not lovely, but too floral and not sweet enough. The rose petal decoration looks cute... until it sinks to the bottom of the cup and you get a mouthful of CHUNKS at the end of your sip. Service was super friendly, but rather slow for what I ordered. I think the place is still new and staff may need more training, but I waited a good 10 minutes for a tea latte and some pre-sliced cake, with three people working. Overall, not my vibe, but I can see people feeling different about it for various reasons. read more

Cha Sha & Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

If a restaurant could be a hug, that is what Cha Sha is!! Cha Sha is warm and cozy, yet bright and lively! We ate here on a a rainy Columbus evening; the various chai options warmed both our bellies and our souls. My partner opted for the masala chai--always a classic! And I chose to try something new (to me): the Kashmiri chai. I was rewarded with a warm, nutty, and delicately floral milk tea with a BEAUTIFUL pink color. For dinner we shared the samosas chaat (very healthy portion!!!) and the chicken boti roll. I don't know what else to explain for this other than you need it, go get it now. Chat had plenty of crispy samosa, sweet tamarind and mint chutney, mango, and chickpeas. The Boti roll has great spiced chicken on a buttery flaky paratha. For dessert we got the Chikoo milkshake-lightly sweet but so delicious and creamy; the Gulab jamun sundae (I will always alway get this when we come); and the Ras malai (a great portion for the price!). Staff are so friendly! They check in on you frequently and are always keeping the tables clean, and you can really tell they care. This is our new fav spot! read more

Cute little coffee shop! They have cute decorations all around and they tie the place together perfectly. I loved that they had a chai flight so I was able to try three types of tea. I also tried the pani poori which I've never had anything like it before. It was a thin dough, served cold, with a sauce. There were so many flavors but it all came together perfectly, with a little kick. The only reason this restaurant wasn't a 5/5 for me was the timing. We got the dish first, ate it all up, and we were still waiting for the drinks to come. After a while, my husband got his drink and finished it, and I still hadn't gotten my flight. A few minutes later, I finally got my flight. The chai was served hot and in glass cups without handles which made it difficult to drink until the glass cooled down a bit. read more

Cha Sha is an interesting South Asian coffee/tea shop concept that while it has good intentions, it fails to deliver overall. The ambiance is nice and relaxing with Bollywood posters, South Asian décor and wall art, and a couple of games set up. The menu items look appealing, although the food on display looked stale. Our group ordered the Gul Bahar waffle and a large kettle of tea. Our order took over 30 minutes to arrive, even though the place was not busy at all. The waffle was a large shareable portion, and the sweet Gulab jamun and ice cream combined with the waffles made for a delicious dessert. The tea was ok - not very strong and lacked overall flavor. I will be back here to try out some of their other drink items, and hope that they will have worked out the kinks in service and make some efficiency gains by then. read more

I've actually been eying this place for a while. I spotted it once they put the sign up, though it looked like it was still under construction. Once I started seeing posts on IG, I had to make my way over here! My friend and I came on a weekday evening. A lot of families and groups of friends here. It's a nice chill vibe. We ordered a few things to share: falooda, gulab jamun sundae, watermelon juice, chai (not sure which kind), pani puri, and a chicken club sandwich. There were a lot of things on the menu to try! And we loved everything!!Prices were reasonable too. Lots of really great decor here and the staff are friendly. Food came out pretty fast. My friend and I sat here for a while. It's just a fun place to hang out. Can't wait to return! read more

Stopped by here recently to get a bit of work done before getting back on the road. Ordered a kashmiri chai and after it cooled down a bit was able to really enjoy it. If you're hungry it looks like they have some great treats to try as well. Will stop by again next time I'm in town. read more

A cozy chai spot on Bethel Road, where I visited with my family for afternoon tea and snacks. We ordered matka chai, chikoo shake, lime soda, kulcha, bun ka baap, paneer quesadilla, and gulbahar waffle. The chai came in a charming matka, but the flavor was underwhelming, with the tea leaves overpowering the taste. The chikoo shake was delicious, but the lime soda lacked flavor. The kulcha was decent but tasted like it had been frozen. The bun ka baap was spicy, and to my surprise, came with an egg, which we were told was just brushed on the bun. The paneer quesadilla was okay, but could've used more flavor. The waffle, though a fun concept, was quite heavy--best to share. Overall, the café's concept is unique, but I wish they offered better food options, especially for vegetarians. read more

Cha Sha & Coffee is located off of Bethel Road in a shopping center. The restaurant offers freshly made chai, small plates, and desserts. I had the amazing chai flight and delicious vegetable samosas. The chai and samosas were beautifully presented and prepared. The restaurant is cozy, but there is ample seating. One of the nice things is that Cha Sha & Coffee is open until 10 pm. If you are looking for delicious chai and wonderful service, visit here and enjoy! read more

Cute little desi cafe that has a variety of desi flavors of chai and cofee as well as some food and dessert. The samosa chaat was tasty with an actual kick of spice. The pani puri tasted refreshing. The sugarcane juice was a personal favorite as it was light and refreshing, would recommend! The ambiance is cute and the place definitely gets busy quickly. It was pretty full even on a Tuesday evening! Given that it was busy, it did take time for the food to come out, which may also speak to the freshness of it. read more

What a find! Hubs found it because they have fresh fruit juices on the menu (watermelon, specifically), plus the food menu sounded amazing so off we went for a good adventure! First impression: adorable. Decorated nicely, clean, inviting, welcoming. Though there were quite a few patrons, conversations were quiet and there were tables open, so we opted to dine in. They didn't have watermelon juice that day, so we tried the sweet lime juice which really tasted like a sweet, light orange juice. Super refreshing! I ordered a frozen Kashmiri chai latte. More on that in a minute... Food: pani poori - amazing little crunchy, paper thin bites with a mild filling. Served cold with a side of tamarind sauce (which is good enough to bottle - soooo good). Lahori samosa chaat - bowl of absolute delish. I could t tell you what was in it aside from a samosa and chickpeas but it was SO good! Now back to my latte... We ordered everything at the same time and it was brought out mostly together give or take a couple mins except for my latte. I was convinced they had forgotten it. We ate our entire meal, slowly, while waiting for my latte. We were about to leave and reorder it in a to-go cup when they brought it out. It took FOREVER. My only guess is the chai is steeped fresh each cup and takes time to cool down to make it a cold drink? No idea, but it tastes amazing. Just know that this is t going to be a quick grab-a-drink sort of place. read more

The interior is warm and inviting with flashy decorative touches. The service was great and clearly communicated the vegetarian samosa was flaky and a decent size. The egg and chicken sandwich was a fun treat, but the bread was not toasted so quickly became a soggy mess. The Cha Sha mocha was a good portion but felt like it was thrown together in a super rush which lent to an interesting and inconsistent flavor. read more

Such a cute little cafe! The chicken egg sandwich was not for me (too much raw onion and chutney for my taste) but take that with a grain of salt, as I haven't had much food similar to this and didn't read the full description before ordering (oops). The ambience was great and the drinks were delicious! They had music videos playing on a TV, in classic Asian fashion, and charming bits of handmade decor, like floral coasters. It wasn't *quiet*, but a comfortable volume for casual conversation or studying. The Kashmiri Chai Latte was sooo good and I was kind of jealous that I didn't order it. Look at that gradient!! So pretty. The masala chai was also delicious. The cashier/server poured it in the glass for me and left the rest of the pot at the table. Both drinks were rich and just a perfect amount of subtle sweetness. From what I understand, none of the drinks use dairy milk. I actually forgot til I looked at the menu on the way out, because it tasted and felt like they were made with dairy milk. I'm definitely excited to come back and try other chai! read more

Had this spot recommended to me by a friend and was eager to try a South Asian cafe in Columbus. The decor is vibrant and colorful, with a ton of tables, as well as some games. They have a variety of coffee, tea, smoothies, and food to order from. I came here with a group of friends and we all got a variety of drinks and I ordered the pani puri. Overall cute cafe and I'd be back to try other items. read more

Was excited to try this place for the first time and when we walked in, it was a beautiful cafe, it was so bright and lively. It was pretty busy and full, but so welcoming and cozy. There's wifi available, a decent amount of tables, and a lot of parking available in the plaza. We ordered our coffees, which lists no size or any other options, so we just ordered what we saw on the menu. Our cashier was very soft spoken, I really wasn't sure what they said about whole milk, but I was okay with it because I wasn't aware that there were alternatives. It took 46 minutes to get our drinks and they came in a small glass cup for $4.85 ($3.99+tip). We both got the Kashmiri Chai and it was delicious, creamy, sweet, and had touches of pistachio and rose. I was a bit disappointed about the wait time and the size, but it was fine to experience the first time. About 40 minutes after we got our drinks, I had already finished mine and my friend was almost done, but we had been studying there with our laptops and books. The cashier who helped us was also walking around and stopped at our table. They then asked, "Do you want anything else?" We both said, "No thank you, we're good for right now" and I said, "I might later, but not right now." because I fully intended to buy a snack, but I was not ready yet. And they stood there for a minute and asked again, "Can I get you anything else?" I responded, "Not right now, but I will go up and order later." They once again asked, "Are you sure? I can help you. You don't want anything?" Again, we confirm that we didn't want anything at that moment. My friend and I felt very uncomfortable and we decided that it was our cue to leave. We left because it felt very pushy and we felt like they were hinting that we had to purchase something immediately to stay. We saw a lot of families, children, and other people who stayed longer or stayed to talk and hang out, so it was a bit strange. Overall, the rest of the staff was incredibly nice. It was a strange first experience, but I also understand it as a business. It felt like they created a space for community, families, and a place to hang out and bring friends and family. The drink was fantastic and I would love to come back to try the other drinks and snacks because they looked yummy. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon. Just about all but one or two of the tables were filled, but there was no wait for a table. We ordered the chai flight, latte, and a bun ka baap (sandwich). The chai flight was a decent size and allowed me to try multiples chais. Two of them were weak so you can mainly taste the milk. The sugar level on all was perfect. The latte was drinkable. The milk was not frothed properly for "silky" milk, but that's ok, this isn't a place that specializes in lattes/espresso. The bread in the sandwich was really soft. But overall nothing special. There were only two workers during this "rush", so we waited a while for our drinks and food. But that's ok, because o was not in a rush and wanted to support a local business and the seating was relaxing. read more

I have never heard of an Indian-inspired cafe, but here it is, and it is good. Walking in, you become immersed in Indian culture, from the music to the decor. The menu is also full of Indian-inspired food and drink, and the person at the register even offered their recommendations. The coffee and chai were fantastic. The food is definitely palate-dependent, with tons of spices, but I enjoyed it. The magic for me ended once I sat down and looked at the napkin holder, filled with brown paper towels while other tables had different paper products. No two tables were the same. It felt like they ran out and just put out whatever they had in front of them, not considering the aesthetic. The service was very good and the order didn't take terribly long, but I could see them running into a timing issue if they were at maximum capacity. I still give this place five stars due to its uniqueness and the level of flavor it brings to its offerings. read more

Very disappointed in the handling of my order. Had preordered iftar boxes on a Friday afternoon for the upcoming Monday, only to find out they are closed on Mondays! I was put in a situation where I had to think fast to secure iftar for family. Called the next day to tell them of this and was told that someone called me. Well, they did not leave a voicemail, so what is the point of the call?! You had three days to cancel my order and let me know you are closed via text/call, but failed to. Certainly, would not order again. read more

Extremely extremely disappointed. It wasn't even the bad service but blatant negligence. We made it clear that we don't eat meat and we were served meat, not once but twice!! This is disrespectful and not acceptable by any standards. Initially, we inquired about the ingredients of a dish called "pizza paratha" to ensure it was meat-free. Reassured by the staff that it contained no meat, we were appalled to discover chicken pieces within it while eating. Naturally, we sent the dish back, expecting a corrected version. To our disbelief, the replacement dish also contained chicken, despite reassuring us that it was vegetarian while serving it. I have no words to describe how disgusted and frustrated we feel. It's beyond comprehension how a restaurant can disregard such a fundamental customer request twice in a row. The owner did apologize to us in the end but the damage was already done. This level of incompetence is simply not acceptable. read more

The chai was cheap and rly good!! The interior was cozy and great for studying, especially since there were so many outlets.

Over hyped, Expensive. The tea is presented in trial size cups yet charged 4 dollars. Would need 3 of these to make a regular cup of tea. Feeling of lack of hospitality that accompanies tea in desi culture. To make it worse, the wait time is long as they do not have a regular kitchen to quickly prepare things. read more
