Samosa and Omelet Platter
Spencer Y.

The food comes in good portions and is definitely a solid value for the price. Everything tasted pretty good overall, though the flavors are a bit on the simplistic side. Nothing mind-blowing, but it gets the job done and leaves you satisfied. I'd come back when I want something affordable.

I honestly would not recommend the high tea because you can get everything as individual items for probably a lot less than $50. I would not get the kashmiri chai because it was too much milk. The Samosa was a heavy fried dumpling filled lentils. The zinger slider / mini chicken sandwich was good and quite tiny. The tikka wrap was nice but nothing special. The spicy mayo fries are nicely spiced and paired with a very not spicy mayo. I did like the variety in the assortment of sweets such as the Gulab jamun and mango mousse. Honestly though, I'd probably just get things ala carte. It will make you pretty full, but it felt kinda imbalanced and it felt like I was just eating heavy food that doesn't make you feel any good after.

Gulab jamun and kheer

Really good tea experience at CHA Street Food. The restaurant is attached to Tysons Mall so the venue is a little small and they don't take reservations. I loved the elements on the tea stand -- a chicken zinger burger, a chicken tikka roll, fries in a spicy mayo, chat papri, kheer, gulab jamun and a mango mousse. We went as a group so we tried all 3 chai options -- our favorite was the Kashmiri pink chai. The house chai came in second. There was actually too much food, so we had leftovers but the price is really reasonable. The downside is the service is for 2 people. They do offer a "mild" version, but then the entire tea service will be prepared that way. They offer a vegetarian version of the service featuring paneer instead of chicken. They have a lot of other menu options too, but I went there specifically for the tea service. It did not disappoint! I will definitely go back. One piece of advice for the restaurant-- find a way to different the teas (different colored pots or some kind of marker on the pot). Since we ordered all 3 teas we had to keep track of where the pots were on the table. Overall, a great culinary experience and I can't wait to go back!

Pistachio Chai

First time dining here, the decoration to the restaurant is pretty, the food was pretty decent. I ordered the kashmiri pistachio chai tea, the zinger chicken bowl, Mirchi fries, and my friend got the chicken tikka roll with the samosa. The bowl was decent, chicken was crispy and hot, chicken tikka roll was alright, fries had flavor and the samosa was just ok, it was heavily filled with potato. The tea was probably my favorite thing out of all the items we ordered. Definitely a place to try again.

High Tea service
Nina Z.

My husband and I tried the High Tea experience yesterday and enjoyed it. We ordered the regular version which came with meat items like zinger sliders and chicken tikka rolls. They also had masala fries and samosas. The savory items came in multiples of two but the sweets did not. There were two servings of gulab jamun, but there were two other little desserts that were only one of each. If the high tea experience is for two people you'd expect each person to get one of each item, so that part was a little disappointing because those two other desserts - a mango lassi like mousse and kheer - were quite delicious but very tiny to share. As for the tea options, you can choose either regular chai, masala chai or upgrade to Kashmiri chai. We opted for masala chai which was good - just know they do not add sugar so if you are use to it being a little sweet add sugar. Overall, this tea experience was good and a great deal at $45. I'd come back to try the vegetarian option and a different tea. Besides the tea experience itself, the little restaurant is decorated so lively with bright colors. And the service was quick and friendly.

Chaat Papri - delicious
Aliya A.

This is my favorite place to grab some Desi yummy food at Tyson's corner mall. I have been going there ever since it's opened to satisfy my cravings buds :) The service is always nice and above and beyond. It's not a big place but always find table if we decide to dine in. All of their menu items are outclass, I never had any problems ever. The most favorite ones for me are smash burger, chaat papri, samosa chaat, chicken Tikka roll and those new Dubai chocolate samosas. I highly recommend this place if you are hungry and want to grab a bite around Tyson's area.

High-tea Menu
Paolo S.

I visited O'Cha on a Sunday around noon, located inside Tysons Corner Mall. The spot is charming and very instagrammable - especially the whimsical hallway that makes you feel like you've been transported somewhere else. We came specifically for the Vegetarian High-Team Menu, which offers a unique Pakistani twist on the classic afternoon tea. It included Spicy Mayo Fries, Chaat Papri, Samosa Chaat, Paneer Roll, Aloo Slider, Gulab Jamun, Kheer, Mango Mouse, and a choice of Chai (we chose the Kashmiri Chai). The spicy may fries were delicious - crispy with a nice sauce Initially we didn't realize the Chaat Papri and Samosa Chaat were separate dishes, but once clarified, the Samosa Chaat stood out with its a samosa base and bold flavors The Paneer Roll (a cheese wrap) and the Aloo Slider (a potato sandwich) were both alright, though I preferred the slider. For dessert, the Mango Mousse was the clear winner-light, creamy, and packed with flavor. The Kashmiri Chai was made with whole milk and had a mild taste, though not my favorite. Portion-wise, it was more than enough for two people. We couldn't finish everything. The food did take a while to come out, but the staff explained there was a. Large high-tea order ahead of us. Overall, it was a fun and flavorful experience that offered something different from the usual mall fare.

I'll pass on this next time. While this is an aesthetic fast casual restaurant, the food quality falls short as this left me feeling greasy and bloated. The worst part is, the cha wasn't even good--and that's part of their name...

Pakistani street food in Tysons corner mall. Very pretty ambiance and reasonably priced. We had this on the to go list for a while and happened to be in the area today. The food DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The flavors were spot on! We had the spicy zinger chicken burger, paneer salad bowl and special chai. The paneer bowl was just okay since it was just a slab of lightly seasoned paneer that was deep fried. The chicken burger was fantastic and chai was remarkable! There is no table service but the food arrived promptly. Will visit again!

The front of CHA Street Food

CHA Street Food doesn't mess around when it comes to Aesthetics. A mix between Red, Yellow, Pink, Blue Colors just showcases how vibrant they want the environment to be. It's very trendy and I could see why people who would come here would come here to just for the looks alone. Right around the corner from Mamam Joon lies CHA. It's very fast casual as you have lots of spacious tables to sit and choose from but you just order up at the counter and pick up your food when called. I came here on mid afternoon where there was only just me. I wasn't there for too long as I ordered the Zinger Chicken Sandwich & Mirchi Fries and a can of Coke because why not. The Zinger Chicken Sandwich consisted of a piece of Fried Chicken fried well, lettuce, and spicy red mayo sauce. It wasn't spicy biting into it but it was a delicious crunch when I was able to taste everything all at once. The Mirchi Fries were interesting as the dry seasoning that's coated all over them did have a small kick but it bring out more flavor when biting into one. I really did enjoy these a lot and would order again if I came back. Besides from aesthetics, it's clear of what CHA Street Food wants to be. A modern twist to what Indian Street Food is that caters for anyone looking for a quick bite or a nice place to hang out. Check this place out.

Very cute space, nicely decorated. Visited on a rainy day so wasn't able to take advantage of their outdoor space but definitely would on a nicer day. Service was good for a fast casual restaurant, no complaints workers seemed friendly. I had the loaded fries and samosa which both were very good and filling. I also tried the strawberry mint lemonade which was good but not sure it was $8 good. The prices for the food were good for quality and portion size. I would definitely visit again for the food.

We went here after a movie and the decor is super cute with the pink and yellow colorful windows. It definitely looks inviting when you walk inside. It's a bit small, and sort of dark. I also liked the paintings of various scenes like kite flying. There's a small fridge area to buy some prepackaged items. This is fast casual so you order at the front and pick up the items when they're ready, and it was fairly quick. We got the iced kashmiri tea which was exactly what I expected, refreshing and sweet chai, with an interesting touch adding nuts inside. I'd be curious to try the kashmiri shake next time. You can request the tea to be hot or cold and specify how much sugar. I was excited to try the gulab jamen but when we got it, there were only 2 of them in there so it's definitely not worth the price so that was pretty disappointing. The garnish was pretty though with the nuts and petals.

Semra Q.

Loved their paan shake! The spicy zinger burger was my favorite, the sauce is more flavorful than the actual chicken. The chaat and samosa was OK. The decor is so cute and there's tons of indoor and outdoor seating with games to play. Definitely recommend coming with friends and family to hang out and sip on some tea and snacks

I came in planning to place…read moreabout a $40 order, but I ended up walking out because of how I was treated by the man working the register. From the start, he was visibly annoyed. He rolled his eyes while I was speaking, didn't want to answer simple questions about the dishes, and acted like helping me was an inconvenience. I was polite and just trying to clarify a few things before ordering. Instead of basic customer service, I was met with attitude and dismissiveness. It takes a lot for me to walk away from a $40 order -- especially when they had my favorite dishes available -- but the interaction was so rude and uncomfortable that I chose not to give them my business. Customer service matters, regardless of the order size. I hope management addresses this, because no customer should feel unwelcome for simply asking questions before placing an order.

Friendly Counter Service, she was patient and everything I asked about she said I would enjoy- LOL. She was right !!! I did the Fish & Fries - $10 - Amazing taste, definitely different than my normal. The fish was juicy and it instantly became a new favorite. The fries that accompanied it were hot, fresh & very good. Wife ate 1/2 of them. I also loved the Tarter Sauce that came with the Fish. I have to say the whole combo was amazing & you get a big Bang for your buck. If I did not have (3) people dipping into my fries, it would have been more than a snack. I also did a $4 Chai/Coffee - it was also delicious, took me back to my Afghanistan days at Green Bean.

First, I didn't realize it was a sit down and order restaurant, I was used to short order.

A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.

Enough reviews already mention the four dips and soft bread, a cross between middle eastern bread and focaccia. Non alcoholic drinks are not an after thought, the sour cherry rose lemonade is liked by kids, adults, and seniors. Service is warm and welcoming, the Rumi quotes on the walls and turkish lamps add to the ambience, parking is easy and aplenty. A few tips: 1. Go for the lunch menu if you are feeding a large group. It is cheaper. Or consider making the trek to where it all started, Afghan Bistro in Springfield. 2. Ask for the daily selection of cakes.

The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

A concerted effort towards variety is evident, with distinct proteins and vegetarian choices in specific curries/sauces creating a beautifully balanced array of different colors. I love this. (An example of the opposite: When there's a paneer tikka masala AND a chicken tikka masala on a buffet - I don't count these as being 2 different entrées.) Saffron is way better than the musty neighbor Haandi Indian across the street. A long time local recommended Haandi over Saffron and I believe she must have lied to me about having tried Saffron, because there is absolutely no comparison. Saffron is wayyy better. There is actually flavor and attitude in the dishes at Saffron. Haandi is boring and bland. Pro tip: ask for your naan bread "crispy" and it will come out nice and toasted. Naan is included with the lunch buffet. Would be 5 stars if it were $15. $22 can get you AYCE made-to-order sushi lunch down the street, so $20 for Indian buffet lunch here seems all-the-money. Delicious, though! Oh and another possible star deduction reason: I saw a few stains on some tablecloths at Saffron that appeared to be days-old from not being changed or noticed.

The spicy meatballs were the only thing with a kick but would have loved to see more consistent spice. I also was a bit disappointed in the naan- it didn't seemed buttered at all and was very dry for some reason. Service and staff super friendly and decent food for the price but needs more kick to beat the Saffron Ashburn location.
