The winters are finally here. And is there a better love story than winters and chai? We think not! So, to give a fresh twist to this story, we’ve found an underrated chai place in Lucknow.
Here, we’re talking about Lalli Tea Stall in Kapoorthala, famous for its utterly refreshing chai! Add to that a retro ’90s ambience and delish snacking options and the place becomes a must-visit for chai lovers in the city.
Retaining its old-timey charm for over 40 years
This tea spot in Kapoorthala is nearly 40 years old and is currently run by a mother-son duo. The place exudes an old-timey vibe, featuring ’90s Bollywood music playing on repeat, spacious open-air seating, and the typical clear chai glasses along with tall kulhads. But we suggest you have it in the kulhad because OF COURSE – chai simply tastes better in it!
During evenings and early in the morning, this chai place is filled with patrons sipping on Lalli’s Special Chai, along with some Suhaal or Samosa. Here, you can also go for the regular Bun Makkhan, among other quick eats.
Knock Knock
And guess what? This tea spot starts serving tea right from six in the morning! So, if you’re looking for a new tea spot in Lucknow for your hangout sessions with buddies, make a beeline for Kapoorthala’s Lalli Tea Stall. And, thank us later!
