The chai served by this little tea shop is world famous. The chai is not just a chai that fetches money to the Sahu Chaiwala but it is a legacy that his family has been running for more than forty years. The deliciousness in the Sahu ki Chai lies in the long moderated heating of the milk, which is boiled gently on a coal stove for not less than 20 minutes. Sahu is surely one of the best chaiwalas in Jaipur for a reason.
One can enjoy the hot cup of cutting chai along with the toast and mathri to enhance the taste.
