Chai Shai Fitzroy

Nesh★★★★★

Chai Shai has become my comfort place in Melbourne. From the first sip of chai to the last bite of samosa, everything feels made with love. The ambience, the music, and the community vibe make it so much more than just a café — it’s a whole feeling.

Such a gem! The chai is authentic, the food hits home, and the team is always so kind. You can tell this place is built on passion and warmth. Whether you’re there for an event, a quiet afternoon, or just your daily chai fix — Chai Shai never disappoints.

Went over the weekend and it was so quiet and the atmosphere was not what we had expected as based upon other reviews. Should play music in the backyard too to make the vibe better. Anyway, cuz it kinda didn’t give us the expected vibe, we ended up having only the kadak chai. Tea itself was good 3.5/5 but not something worth our visit again.

Nice little cozy spot to grab some delicious chai and some Indian snacks and chaats, they have Shisha as well if you’re feeling adventurous. Ambiance is pretty good with hanging lights and different seating areas. All the areas have heaters so cold evenings are not an issue. They have an indoor Shisha lounge as well. We went on a Sunday so there was barely anyone there, but other than that it was a nice place to chill Food was pretty good, the samosa chaat, papad chat and Bun samosa ( basically pav bun with a crushed samosa in the middle) were pretty good a solid 4.5/5
