Came here to hang out with family and had a great time. They have an outdoor seating area, and the decor inside is really beautiful and fits the cultural ambiance perfectly. The menu is also great for a nice cha/chai hangout, and they offer different flavors of cha too. Overall, it's a really nice spot to relax and spend time with family and friends. Definitely a great hangout spot!

Okay I am from Lahore, Pakistan but my ancestors are from Pahalgam, Kashmir. So that makes me a Punjabi with Kashmiri heritage. Kashmiri tea is very prominent in my Kashmiri heritage and family history. Samosas are very prominent in the Punjabi street food culture. Combining both of them for a snack is very prominent to me in order to remain in touch with my roots. There is one place that does justice to both Kashmir tea and samosas. That place is none other than Cha Street Food. Hands down the best. 5/5 for letting me stay in touch with who I am. Bonus point for imlee sauce and green chutney.

Samosa and Omelet Platter

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.

Visited Cha Street Food and was initially excited to try the food, but there was a strange odor in the air when I walked in, which made me decide to keep it simple and just order the masala chai. The chai was decent -- plenty of spice, though it wasn't very sweet. The restaurant itself is cute and inviting when you first walk in, and the service was quick since we received our drinks promptly. I'd still consider going back to try some of the food and see if the overall experience improves.

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

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...

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.

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.

Food tastes pretty good. Great halal spot in Tysons. It gets packed sometimes so it's best to go at a good time to avoid the dinner rushes.

District Chicken & Gyro is one of those places that keeps the menu simple and does what they do…read morereally well. The menu is pretty limited, but honestly, that's part of the appeal. The food is always consistent and on point. I usually get takeout and rarely eat there, so for me this is all about the food. Portions are decent, everything tastes fresh, and I've never really had a bad experience. It's the kind of place where you know exactly what you're getting each time, and that's a good thing. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, even when they're busy. I also appreciate that they don't nickel and dime you on the sauces. It's a small thing, but it makes a difference, especially since the sauces are a big part of this type of food. Honestly, not a place to sit and eat as most folks take out. Overall, great food, good portions, friendly people, and consistently good every time I go. Sometimes a limited menu done really well is better than trying to do too much.

I've driven past this place plenty of times and always see it jam-packed, so between the crowds and…read morethe reviews, I kept telling myself I needed to try it. I finally stopped by on July 25, 2026, while I was in the area. The line was long, and I waited about 5-10 minutes before ordering. At the time, I took that as a good sign. The place is small and a little dingy "allegedly", but of course these are the best food spots! I got home, took my first bite, and immediately smirked. I took another bite and realized the smirk was confusion because I could not understand the reviews or the crowds I always see waiting to order. The food severely lacked flavor; literally the only thing I could taste was the sauces. Yikes. I live about 45 minutes away, but even if I were already in the area, I do not think I would stop in for another try. For me, the hype, the line, and the food just did not add up.

The person who took my order was very helpful and informative. He was patient with me while I was flip-flopping between what to order. One of the other team members was also helpful with making sure everything was OK with my order. Teamwork is clearly something that is practiced at this location. I ultimately decided on the seafood platter with extra fish. I opted to replace both the fries and the salad with rice. I asked for the white sauce on the side along with hot sauce. I was pleasantly surprised. My food was good and seasoned perfectly. I will be back sooner than later to get a shrimp platter. They were the star of the show! The only recommendation I have this go around, is that the fish be fried just a little bit harder. Unfortunately, it was a little soft/soggy and not crispy. But the taste was on point. Again the shrimp were fried perfectly. As per my last visit, the restaurant was very clean. I will be back!

You can definitely find something here that you'll like. My go-to is The Loaded Philly and WOW. It's a Philly cheesesteak with onions and peppers, plus mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, fries, and a homemade chipotle sauce all stacked together. It's messy, over-the-top, and absolutely delicious. Don't skip the Blazin Sunset drink either--half strawberry, half mango and super refreshing. Perfect balance to the savory food. If you're hungry and want something fun, flavorful, and different from the usual, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back (with extra napkins).

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.

This establishment seems to be Egyptian owned, as the walls claim that Egyptians created bread, cupcakes and falafel. The service was fine, though the tables could have been cleaner. I appreciate that they allow you to substitute some of the rice portion for lettuce/spring mix although the spring mix was wet. They also offered both spicy and regular options for rice and chicken. I got spicy rice with spicy chicken, and for my toppings I got Mediterranean salad, hummus, and tzaziki. I didn't realize you could also get white sauce, green sauce, etc, so I probably wouldn't get tzaziki and get olives or something else next time. The chicken and rice combo was a bit overly spicy for me and upset my stomach slightly. I'd probably get regular for both the next time. I also got tiramisu which they recommended over all the other "cupcakes" which they claim (via the wall) is Egyptian. The tiramisu was surprisingly good. There was soft music that seems Arabic-speaking. They have fountain drinks as well as bottled beverages. They also include a service charge - it was like $0.42 for me.

The food is a big part of why I've returned over the years, and we enjoyed our meal this time as well.

We had a family event of approximately 36-40, and 4 waiters to attend to our party. I think it would be better if they split the waiters by section- I felt it was disorganized - I had to ask for the drink menu 3x and waited 20 minutes. They also took our dessert order but then my mom and I never got ours- but the waiter said he brought everything out (there was nothing served to us), and he did eventually bring it out about 25-30 min later when we were leaving. It seems like they bring around the meat selections speedily for about 30-45 min (it's like one immediately after the other) and then it's finished- so make sure you get the selections within those first 30-45 min. But they did bring some meats back when people asked- so that was nice. The ribeye and filet were the best, I'd skip the chicken- super dry. Desserts were average to subpar. Cosmo was watered down but the espresso martini was good! I think I'll try again as just a smaller party/regular dining guest and see how that goes. Overall, felt like it was ok but room for improvement. Service was the biggest thing that overshadowed the experience.
